Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation in measurements of the lower-limb coronal alignment between long-leg radiographs (LLRs) and computed tomography (CT) scanograms that were made during preoperative planning for robotic-arm-assisted knee arthroplasty. On the basis of published evidence demonstrating a good correlation between these imaging modalities in measuring the lower-limb mechanical axis, we hypothesized that there would be no significant differences between the 2 in the present study.
Methods: This multicenter cohort study across 3 tertiary centers included 300 patients undergoing primary robotic-arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for whom LLRs and CT scanograms were available preoperatively.
Article Synopsis
- Accurate implant positioning in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is crucial for patient stability and range of motion, and should be personalized due to variations in each patient's biomechanics and spinopelvic mobility.
- The manuscript discusses challenges related to spinopelvic imbalance and introduces a systematic method for achieving functional-component positioning in surgery.
- Results from robotic-assisted THA indicate that using this technology improves planning accuracy, preserves important anatomical parameters, and enhances patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes.
