Personalized Arthroplasty Society
Personalized Arthroplasty Society (PAS) is focused on the development and promotion of personalized and physiological techniques for hip and knee replacement. These techniques aim to better reproduce patients’ native anatomy and physiological joint laxity, therefore improving the prosthetic hip/knee kinematics and functional outcomes. The PAS is paving the way in the paradigm shift from systematic to personalized surgery and surgical experience.

In this video, Dr Vendittoli reviews the normal knee anatomy and kinematics and the modifications produced by the “one size fits all” mechanical alignment technique. As a solution to improve our TKA patients’ clinical results, Dr Vendittoli present the “restricted” kinematic alignment protocol (rKA). He developed this protocol to reliably produce a prosthetic knee with component/knee/limb alignments that always fall within an evidence-based safe alignment range which is compatible with long term implant survivorship.
