Computer-assisted navigation in total knee replacement not better than conventional method .
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.
Alignment and orientation of the components in total knee replacement with and without navigation support: A PROSPECTIVE, RANDOMISED STUDY
J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2007 Apr;89(4):471-6100 patients underwent bilateral sequential total knee replacement surgery. The surgical procedure for the first knee used a CT-free computer-assisted navigation system and the second knee used a conventional no-navigation procedure. Outcomes of accuracy of orientation and alignment of the components were assessed. Results at the mean 2.6-year follow-up indicated that the computer-navigated TKR procedure did not result in a more accurate orientation or alignment of components when compared to the conventional non-navigated procedure.
