Does Robotic-assisted TKA Result in Better Outcome Scores or Long-Term Survivorship Than Conventional TKA? A Randomized, Controlled Trial.
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.

Study Summary
Robotic-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) has gained recent prominence with improved technology and wider availability. To date, the literature has demonstrated the ability of robotic-assisted surgeries to produce more accurate alignment, but the implications of this difference in terms of function or implant survival has not been clarified. Most studies to date have been relatively small and short-term in nature. In this study, the authors present a large randomized controlled trials, with sound methodology and long-term follow-up (10 years). Overall, they found no significant differences in terms of any radiographic, functional, or survival outcomes with excellent results in both groups. Operative time and tourniquet time were significantly longer in the robotic-assisted group.
