The Importance of Custom Rotational Alignment in Knee Replacement
Explore the critical role of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and patella in knee replacement surgery using custom rotational alignment. This personalised approach, like the TWIS-TKR method, promises better biomechanical outcomes and increased longevity of knee implants. By precisely aligning the replacement to the patient's natural joint alignment, it reducesExplore the critical role of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and patella in knee replacement surgery using custom rotational alignment. This personalised approach, like the TWIS-TKR method, promises better biomechanical outcomes and increased longevity of knee implants. By precisely aligning the replacement to the patient's natural joint alignment, it reduces stress on the MCL and enhances patellar tracking function. This leads to smoother kneecap glide and less chance of complications. Besides relieving pain, this advancement in surgery ultimately aims to restore the knee's natural functionality and movement. The right candidate can potentially extend the life and functionality of their knee replacement, enhancing quality of life.
