The impact of changing Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee classification on early functional outcomes after primary robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty

Aims We aimed to determine the impact of changing a patient’s Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) phenotype on early functional outcomes after robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA). Methods We conducted a retrospective multicentre cohort study of 297 patients u...

Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) in children and adolescents

Aims: The Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee classification (CPAK) describes nine knee phenotypes by defining arithmetic hip-knee-ankle angle (aHKA) and joint line obliquity (JLO). In this study, the CPAK classification was used to analyze the development of lower-limb alignment...
