PMID: 35367335

Abstract

BACKGROUND: In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), computer-assisted navigation (N-TKA) and robotic-assisted methods (RA-TKA) are intended to increase precision of mechanical and component alignment. However, the clinical significance of published patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) differences in comparison to conventional TKA (C-TKA) is unknown.
