A Minimal Clinically Important Difference in Robotic-Assisted TKA vs. Standard Manual TKA
The discussion in this episode covers a prospective 2-year database review of a 3-surgeon cohort of 1,158 consecutive patients, using PROMs to compare robotic-assisted vs. manual TKA. Click here to review the abstract.
Topics
* Robotic-assisted TKA is thought to be an area of continued improvement in outcomes, and haptic technology may be helpful in greater improvements
* Robotics has the potential to improve accuracy and minimize variance in outcomes, better than navigation-assisted surgery
* Important to evaluate new technologies, but also to review all variables involved in surgery
