Article Synopsis
- Instability after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can lead to early failure, and the study aimed to evaluate the benefits of achieving a balanced knee joint during the procedure.
- A Markov model assessed the cost-effectiveness of balanced knees by measuring reductions in revisions and improvements in quality-adjusted life years (QALY) over the first 5 years post-surgery, with a threshold set at $50,000 per QALY.
- Results showed that a balanced knee provided significant value, especially in terms of QALY improvements, highlighting its clinical importance and assisting in evaluating technologies designed for better joint balancing.
Background: Conservative treatment remains the first-line option, and there is significant medical evidence showing that home-based exercise therapy for the treatment of common causes of knee pain is effective. SimpleTherapy created an online platform that delivers Internet-based exercise therapy for common causes of knee pain. The system is driven by an algorithm that can process the user's feedback to provide an adaptive exercise regimen.
