Dr. Stephen Howell is one of the pioneers of kinematic alignment in total knee replacement. In this episode, we explore his journey from ACL reconstruction research to developing one of the most influential alignment philosophies in modern arthroplasty. We discuss the biomechanics of the native knee, patient-specific instrumentation, implant design, robotics, and why restoring normal anatomy may lead to more natural-feeling knee replacements.

Whether you're a patient preparing for surgery or an orthopedic surgeon interested in the evolution of knee replacement, this conversation provides an in-depth look at where the field has been—and where it's headed.
