Die kinematische Orientierung der femoralen und tibialen Komponente, die Entfernung der Osteophyten und die Beibehaltung der natürlichen Länge und Spannung der Seitenbänder und des hinteren Kreuzbands stellen die natürliche tibio-femorale Gelenklinie sowie die natürliche Beinachse mit natürlicher Balance der Bänder wieder her.
