Transfemoral Static Bench Alignment 

Standard TKA alignment can 
be utilized with the trochanter 
line bisecting the distal ankle. 
Another alignment option is to 
use a proximal sagittal socket 
bisection 10 – 15 mm posterior 
to the midfoot. The foot should 
be aligned with 5° of toe out 
(Figure 2). 

Dynamic Alignment 

It is important to align the 
prosthesis so that the anterior 
keel is loaded sufficiently to 
provide dynamic response late 
in stance. Some compression 
of the C-spring is desirable 
for optimal performance 
and foot deflection may be more noticeable during dynamic alignment. 
For a dedicated running or sport leg, 1/2 in. (12 mm) additional height 
accommodates for spring deflection during high activity. Patient feedback 
during this process is essential. Adjustments of the plantar/dorsiflexion 
angles will help the patient achieve a smooth transition from heel to toe. 

•  Check for smoothness of gait and ground contact throughout the stance 

phase of gait. 

•  If the heel rollover is delayed from heel strike to midstance, or the heel 

compression is too great, dorsiflexion of foot may correct this problem. 

•  If the heel rollover is too rapid from heel strike to midstance, or the heel is 

too hard, plantarflexion of the foot may solve this problem. 

•  If the heel rollover is too rapid from heel strike to midstance to toe loading, 

increased plantarflexion may be required. 

•  If the heel rollover from midstance to toe loading is delayed, dorsiflexion 

may be indicated. 

•  Check to make sure pylon is vertical in the frontal plane at midstance. If 

there is a medial lean, tighten proximal medial screw; if there is a lateral 
lean, tighten proximal lateral screw.
