Computer navigated TKA results in more accurate mechanical alignment than conventional TKA .
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.
Leg Axis After Computer-Navigated Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Computer-Navigated and Manual Implantation
J Arthroplasty. 2005 Apr;20(3):282-8Fifty-two patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were randomized to receive surgery with a kinematic computer navigation system or with the conventional method. The purpose was two compare the two groups for mechanical axis of the leg postoperatively. At 3 months, significantly more patients in the computer navigated group demonstrated a straight axis in the mechanical alignment of the leg than the conventional group. However, the computer navigated technique required a significantly longer operation and tourniquet time than the conventional method. There was no significant difference between the two groups for any other clinical, radiographic, or intraoperative outcomes.
