Article Synopsis
- Image-based robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) enhances surgical planning by utilizing three-dimensional data on bone anatomy and adjusting for ligament laxity during surgery.
- A study of 484 RA-TKA cases revealed that implant alignment and bone resections significantly differ based on patients' preoperative knee alignment, with varus knees requiring different surgical approaches compared to valgus and neutral knees.
- The research highlights variations in planned bone resections and alignment metrics across different knee alignments, providing valuable insights that can aid surgeons in making more informed decisions during RA-TKA procedures.
Surgical site infection (SSI) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with increased morbidity and healthcare expenditures. During the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, our institution intensified hygiene standards, including greater glove, personal protective equipment (PPE), and mask use. We assessed the effect of these changes on SSI rates in primary total knee arthroplasty (pTKA) and revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA).

Our institution intensified hygiene standards during the COVID-19 pandemic; hospital staff exercised greater hand hygiene, glove use, and mask compliance. We examined the effect of these factors on SSI rates for primary THA (pTHA) and revision THA (rTHA).
