The effect of electromagnetic navigation in total knee arthroplasty on knee kinematics during functional activities using flexible electrogoniometry
Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon). 2013 Jan;28(1):23-8. doi: 10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2012.09.006. Epub 2012 Oct 18200 patients, undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA), were randomized to receive surgery using a computer electromagnetic navigated method or a conventional non-navigated method, to determine the effect of navigated TKA on functional outcomes. Following assessments over a 12 month period, there were no significant differences in functional outcomes between the two TKA procedures.
