description Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK), is an informative way to classify native knee alignment types, but does not consider posterior tibial slope, an important variable in knee kinematics. We hypothesized that tibial slope would have a significant effect on knee kinematics and warrant consideration in addition to the CPAK system. We examined 335 adult patients with osteoarthritis receiving total knee arthroplasty. We measured the lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA), medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), and posterior tibial slope angle (PTS). Knees were categorized into CPAK classes and subdivided into types ‘A’ (PTS 8°) or ‘B’ (PTS >8°). We recorded pre-and-post operative knee flexion, and extension/flexion gaps in all subjects. CPAK classes VII-IX were not seen. Classes I and II comprised a plurality of all knees. One-third of all knees were type B. CPAK classes III, IV, and VI had greater type B proportions, but this was not statistically significant. Type B knees had greater flexion both pre-op (p

Type B knees had greater flexion both pre-op (p &lt; .001) and post-op (p = .043); type A knees had greater flexion improvement pre-to-post operatively (p = .045). Type A knees had greater medial and lateral flexion-extension gap change pre-operatively (p = .021) and (p = .027), respectively. Type B knees had greater medial-lateral gap imbalance preoperatively in both flexion and extension. Our results suggest that there are important pre and post-operative differences in medial and lateral femorotibial gap balance between type A and B knees that require consideration for intra-operative balancing. Differences in knee flexion further solidify that PTS is an important variable that affects kinematics before and after TKA. We propose the addition of PTS types A and B to the existing CPAK classes. This is an easy and logical way to create a comprehensive classification system in both coronal and sagittal planes that captures further differences in knee kinematics.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0972-978X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 0972-978X</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2024.01.008</identifier><identifier>PMID: 38304145</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>India: Elsevier B.V</publisher><subject>CPAK ; Gap balance ; Kinematics ; Knee arthroplasty ; Robotics ; Tibial slope</subject><ispartof>Journal of orthopaedics, 2024-05, Vol.51, p.54-59</ispartof><rights>2024 Professor P K Surendran Memorial Education Foundation</rights><rights>2024 Professor P K Surendran Memorial Education Foundation.
