R and om-effects meta-analyses showed that post-operative functional outcomes were comparable between active robotic and conventional total hip and knee arthroplasty at the short- , medium- and long-term follow-up .
Conclusions This systematic and meta-analyses indicates that functional outcomes for patients undergoing active robotic total hip and knee arthroplasty were comparable to conventional surgery .
Whether semi-active or active robotic hip or knee arthroplasty is effective in improving post-operative pain , quality of life and satisfaction with surgery is unclear .
Purpose The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of semi-active and active robotic hip and knee arthroplasty on post-operative patient-reported outcomes of function , pain , quality of life and satisfaction with surgery .
Comparison of robotic-assisted and conventional manual implantation of a primary total knee arthroplasty.
This study was aim ed to compare robotic-assisted implantation of a total knee arthroplasty with conventional manual implantation . We controlled , r and omized , and review ed 72 patients for total knee arthroplasty assigned to undergo either conventional manual implantation ( excluding navigation-assisted implantation cases ) of a Zimmer LPS prosthesis ( Zimmer , Warsaw , Ind ) ( 30 patients : group 1 ) or robotic-assisted implantation of such a prosthesis ( 32 patients : group 2 ) . The femoral flexion angle ( gamma angle ) and tibial angle ( delta angle ) in the lateral x-ray of group 1 were 4.19 + /- 3.28 degrees and 89.7 + /- 1.7 degrees , and those of group 2 were 0.17 + /- 0.65 degrees and 85.5 + /- 0.92 degrees . The major complications were from improper small skin incision during a constraint attempt of minimally invasive surgery and during bulk fixation frame pins insertion . Robotic-assisted technology had definite advantages in terms of preoperative planning , accuracy of the intraoperative procedure , and postoperative follow-up , especially in the femoral flexion angle ( gamma angle ) and tibial flexion angle ( delta angle ) in the lateral x-ray , and in the femoral flexion angle ( alpha angle ) in the anteroposterior x-ray . But a disadvantage was the high complication rate in early stage
