Abstract
Kinematic alignment performed with caliper measurements and verification checks accurately co-align the femoral and tibial components with the 3 axes and joint lines of the native knee without ligament release and without restrictions on the degree of preoperative varus, valgus, flexion, and extension deformities and the degree of postoperative correction.
