BACKGROUND: A prosthetic device is designed based on the quantitative analysis of muscle MRI which will improve the muscle control achieved with functional electrical stimulation/ guided robotic exoskeletons. Electromyography (EMG) provides muscle fu...
Adapting to robotic-assisted (RA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is hindered by the surgeon's fear of extra time. The main purpose of this study was to determine the robot's operative time, and the secondary goals were to assess the surgical team's an...
BACKGROUND: Dissatisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) ranges from 15 to 30%. While patient selection may be partially responsible, morphological and reconstructive challenges may be determinants. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans ...
Several studies reported that20% of patients were unhappy with the outcome of their total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Having commenced robot assist TKA whilst maintaining the goal of implanting the prosthesis to a neutral mechanical axis, we reviewed ou...
Robotic-assisted TKA (RATKA) is a rapidly emerging technique that has been shown to improve precision and accuracy in implant alignment in TKA. Robotic-assisted TKA (RATKA) uses computer software to create a three-dimensional model of the patient's k...

BACKGROUND: Estimating the risk of revision after arthroplasty could inform patient and surgeon decision-making. However, there is a lack of well-performing prediction models assisting in this task, which may be due to current conventional modeling a...

Revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with a higher risk of readmission than primary TKA. Identifying individual patients predisposed to readmission can facilitate proactive optimization and increase care efficiency. This study develop...
Prediction models are being increasingly used in the medical field to identify risk factors and possible outcomes. Some of these are presently being used to develop guidelines for improving clinical practice. The application of machine learning (ML),...

Unplanned readmission after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) costs an average of US $39,000 per episode and negatively impacts patient outcomes. Although predictive machine learning (ML) models show promise for risk stratification in specific po...
