Robot-Assisted vs. Manual Total Knee Arthroplasty for Pain and 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.
Robotic Arm-assisted versus Manual (ROAM) total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.
Bone Joint J . 2023 Sep 1;105-B(9):961-970.100 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for end-stage osteoarthritis were randomized to receive either robotic TKA (rTKA; n=50) or manual TKA (mTKA; n=50). The primary outcomes of interest were the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores with a focus on pain, function, stiffness subscales, and total scores. The secondary outcomes of interest included the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), EuroQol 5D (EQ-5D), EQ-5D Visual Analog Scores (VAS) pain scores, and the incidence of any complications. WOMAC pain was significantly better in the rTKA group at 2 and 6 months, whereas, all other outcomes were similar between the two groups. The incidence of complications also were comparable between the two groups. Four patients, however, reported unexplained ongoing knee pain after 6 months in the mTKA group.
