Imageless computer-assisted TKA superior in mechanical alignment & short-term function .
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.
Imageless computer navigation in total knee arthroplasty provides superior short term functional outcomes: a meta-analysis
J Arthroplasty. 2014 May;29(5):938-44. doi: 10.1016/j.arth.2013.09.018.21 randomized controlled trials analyzing a total of 1713 knees were included in this meta-analysis comparing radiographic alignment and functional outcome between imageless computer-assisted (CAS) TKA to conventional TKA. Results indicated significantly better mechanical alignment and significantly higher Knee Society Scores in favour of CAS over control groups. Femoral component alignment was significantly better with CAS, but tibial component alignment was comparable with conventional TKA. Operative time was significantly longer with CAS compared to conventional methods.
