Electromagnetic Navigation in Total Knee Arthroplasty-A Single Center, Randomized, Single-Blind Study Comparing the Results With Conventional Techniques
J Arthroplasty. 2015 Feb;30(2):199-205.200 patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty were randomized to either electromagnetic computer-assisted navigation or conventional instrumentation.
