TOPIC: RANDOM MIX
In the emerging philosophy of restricted kinematic alignment for total knee arthroplasty, the primary surgical goal differs profoundly from traditional mechanical alignment. What is the fundamental biomechanical objective of this kinematic technique?
A
To rigidly align the tibial component perpendicular to the mechanical axis in all three dimensions.
B
To aggressively release the MCL to perfectly balance the extension gap prior to any bone cuts.
C
To ensure the distal femoral cut is made at exactly 5 degrees of valgus relative to the femoral shaft.
D
To precisely restore the patient's pre-arthritic, native joint line orientation and natural limb alignment boundaries without obligatory soft-tissue releases.
