Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare how precisely different computer-assisted technologies perform bony resections during total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
- Researchers reviewed 240 patients who had TKA: 120 with a handheld navigation system and 120 with a robotic system, analyzing postoperative alignment precision from their surgeries.
- While there was a small, statistically significant difference in the precision of femoral resection between the two methods, both showed overall high precision; the study suggests considering other factors beyond technology when choosing a method for TKA.
Background: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a rare but morbid disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11. Infection is preventable through HPV vaccination. Following an extensive quadrivalent HPV vaccination program (females 12-26 years in 2007-2009) in Australia, we established a method to monitor incidence and demographics of juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) cases.
