Abstract
The Stryker ShapeMatch® Technology differs fundamentally to other templating concepts with respect to the alignment philosophy of the implant and the soft tissue management. The key principle of the ShapeMatch® Technology is to orientate the prosthetic components around the kinematic axes of the knee and thus to restore the physiological articular surface and the natural ligament isometry and motion of the knee. It is meant to improve rehabilitation, knee function, and patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty.
