The primary objective is to alleviate pain with secondary goals of improved function and correction of deformity. The modern era of TKA was heralded by John Insall [1]. The principal indication remains progressive rest pain but restitution of alignment in the valgus knee will also restore function and prevent progressive deformity. Key contraindications include recent or current joint sepsis, a neuropathic joint and caution should be exercised with a non-compliant patient.] TI - Basics in Primary Knee Arthroplasty: Principles of Total Knee Arthroplasty DA - 2022-04-06 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/basics-in-primary-knee-arthroplasty-principles-of-total-knee-0xvl5iLlxC DP - DeepDyve ER -
