rKA-TKA results in high restoration accuracy of JLO and JLH, and demonstrates less pre- and post-operative JLO alteration compared to MA-TKA. With risen interest in joint line restoration accuracy with kinematic alignment, these findings suggest potential advantages compared to MA. Future investigation is needed to correlate between joint line restoration accuracy achieved by rKA and enhanced implant longevity, reduced risk of post-operative complications, and heightened patient satisfaction.
