Approximately 15% of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients remain dissatisfied after surgery, with joint line obliquity (JLO) potentially affecting patient outcomes. This study investigated whether JLO restoration influenced lower extremity frontal plane joint moments during stair negotiation by TKA patients. Thirty unrestored and twenty-two restored JLO patients participated in this study and were asked to perform five trials on each limb for stair negotiation while three-dimensional kinematics and ground reaction forces were recorded. Frontal plane moments at the ankle, knee and hip were calculated using Visual 3D. The restoration of JLO did not alter frontal plane joint moments during stair negotiation. Both groups showed symmetrical moment profiles, indicating no significant biomechanical differences between the restored and unrestored JLO groups. Restoring JLO did not affect frontal plane joint moments during stair negotiation, suggesting it may not contribute to patient satisfaction disparities post-TKA. Further research should explore other factors, such as surgical technique and implant design, that might influence recovery.
