General Objectives:
To enhance participants’ understanding and application of different alignments for TKA and the potential limits of each strategy, focusing on the update of latest alignments technique
Specific Objectives:
By the end of this symposium, participants will be able to:
• Identify and describe the key principles and techniques of various alignment strategies in TKA, including mechanical, kinematic, and personalized alignment.
• Understand the importance of CPAK from the perspective of its pioneer
• Analyze the biomechanical and clinical implications, as well as the pitfalls, of different alignment strategies in TKA
• Gain insights into patellofemoral tracking as a critical technique in personalized alignment TKA, an area that has not been widely explore. In particular, explore how to leverage robotics to enhance this domain
