Computer assisted TKA has comparable outcomes to conventional approaches .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Computer Navigation vs Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty: Five-Year Functional Results of a Prospective Randomized Trial
J Arthroplasty. 2012 May;27(5):667-72.e1. Epub 2011 Sep 29971 patients who were scheduled to undergo Duracon total knee arthroplasty were randomized to receive either a computer-assisted method or the conventional jig based method. The results from 5 year follow-up demonstrated that there were no significant differences between the two groups in regards to both function and patient reported satisfaction. However, it was found that patients in the computer-assisted group displayed significant improvement in alignment. Lastly, no revision surgeries were reported in either group.
