BackgroundA kinematically aligned (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is expected to improve patient satisfaction, but its effect remains controversial. We investigated differences in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between KA and non-KA TKAs using an implant that reproduces anatomical geometry.MethodsTKAs for varus deformity were performed in consecutive 129 patients (149 knees) via a measured resection technique with conventional instruments. The femorotibial angle (FTA), hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA), and the angle between the joint line and the line perpendicular to the mechanical axis (AJLMA) were measured postoperatively (mean 13.6months), and an AJLMA of 2 degrees was defined as kinematic alignment. Patients were assigned to two or three alignment categories in each measurement method, and the Knee Society Scores (KSS) and Japanese Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (J-KOOS) was compared among the groups.ResultsFor patients assessed by FTA, an ADL-related J-KOOS subscale (J-KOOS-A) showed a significant difference between valgus and varus outliers (p
