Computer assisted total knee arthroplasty provides better knee alignment .
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.
Does Accurate Anatomical Alignment Result in Better Function and Quality of Life? Comparing Conventional and Computer-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty
J Arthroplasty. 2009 Jun;24(4):560-9. Epub 2008 May 19115 patients undergoing elective total knee arthroplasty were randomized to receive either TKA using a conventional method or TKA using computer assistance (CAS). This study assessed if CAS provided superior alignment of the knee and improved function and quality of life. The results from this study indicated that CAS produced a greater number of patients with alignment within 3 degrees of neutral, and it resulted in improved functional and quality of life outcomes.
