Abstract

PURPOSE: To achieve the desired alignment more accurately and improve postoperative outcomes, new techniques such as computer navigation (Navigation), patient-specific instruments (PSI) and surgical robots (Robot) are applied in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). This network meta-analysis aims to compare the radiological and clinical outcomes among the above-mentioned techniques and conventional instruments (CON).
