Cover Story: Despite the widespread success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), 10–20% of patients are dissatisfied, often due to persistent pain, instability, or unnatural knee motion. Advancements in surgical techniques, alignment philosophies, and implant designs have been introduced to increase the satisfaction rate. Medial stabilized TKA have been developed to better replicate native knee kinematics and improve clinical and functional outcomes. This review provides an overview on the current clinical evidence on two types of medial stabilized TKA implants (medial congruent and medial pivot), focusing on different alignment and soft tissue balancing techniques. View this paper
