Pilot Feasibility Stud
February 2024
Article Synopsis
- Total knee arthroplasty is a common surgery for severe knee arthritis, while partial knee arthroplasty can preserve knee function but may have shorter longevity; robotic assistance could improve the precision of these procedures.
- A pilot trial involving 64 patients compares robot-assisted partial knee arthroplasty to manual total knee arthroplasty, focusing on feasibility and various clinical outcomes (like pain and function) up to 24 months post-surgery.
- The RoboKnees pilot study aims to provide insights for future research on robot-assisted knee replacements, potentially guiding surgical practices and informing treatment options for patients.
