This course aims to deepen the theoretical and technological evolution of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), with a specific focus on personalized alignment strategies. Through a scientific and practical comparison between Kinematic Alignment (KA) and Robot-Assisted Functional Alignment (FA), participants will acquire advanced knowledge of the most recent surgical approaches oriented toward treatment individualization. Throughout the course, the following topics will be addressed: theoretical and biomechanical principles of Kinematic Alignment and Functional Alignment; clinical indications, limitations, and advantages of different alignment strategies; the role of robotic surgery in improving accuracy, reproducibility, and functional outcomes; planning techniques and intraoperative decision-making; practical application of the methods through re-live surgery sessions and dry lab training. The educational approach will integrate up-to-date scientific evidence, clinical case discussions, and hands-on experiential activities, promoting immediate translation into daily clinical practice.
