I am not a doctor - but my research indicates that is cut when the incision is made down the center of the front of the knee. The result is some numbness in that area and on the outside of the shin which may or may not improve over time - most people dont have a problem with having some numbness there.
Kinematic alignment concerns itself more with the positioning of implants and can be done through various surgical approaches including those that attempt to preserve the infra patellar branch of the saphenous nerve.
Is the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve cut during kinematic alignment?
