kinematic alignment protocol (rKA) 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. In the current
video, he will present in different clinical case examples how to apply the rKA protocol.
