Does component placement affect short-term clinical outcome in robotic-arm assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty?

The Bone & Joint Journal Apr 04, 2019

Zambianchi F, et al. - Via performing this multicentre observational study, researchers investigate whether intraoperative component positioning and soft-tissue balancing are associated with short-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing robotic-arm assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Robotic-arm assisted UKAs were performed on 363 patients (395 knees) at two centers; of these, 334 medial robotic-arm assisted UKAs were assessed at a mean follow-up of 30.0 months (8.0 to 54.9) following exclusions and losses to follow-up. To enhance patient satisfaction, they recommend surgeons to consider information regarding 3D component placement and soft-tissue balancing despite a little correlation between intraoperative robotic data and overall clinical outcome. For satisfactory clinical outcome, they identified essentiality of reproducible and precise placement of components.
