Computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty: impact of the surgeon’s experience on the component placement

Abstract

The satisfactory HKA alignment was not the result of reversed errors between the tibia and the femur, since it correlated the successful simultaneous results of alpha and beta angles.

Navigation-assisted versus conventional total knee replacement: no difference in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at 1 and 2 years

“…Several other authors have reported no significant advantage in functional outcome at 2-and 5-year follow-up for computer-navigated technique over conventional jig-based technique [23][24][25][26][27]. Despite the positive potential for similar accurate results achieved by novice and experienced users in one study [28], some authors have reported general increased surgical time with navigation-assisted TKR [14,21,22]. There are some reports of reduced blood loss with navigation technique compared to conventional technique [29,30].…”
