Robotic arthroplasty software training improves understanding of total knee arthroplasty alignment .
Robotic arthroplasty software training improves understanding of total knee arthroplasty alignment and balancing principles: a randomized controlled trial.
J Robot Surg. 2024 Aug 6;18(1):308.Thirty-five orthopedic trainees attending a national robotic arthroplasty symposium were randomized to receive either robotic TKA software training (n=20) or a control session with templating software (n=15). The primary outcome was improvement in understanding TKA alignment and gap balancing principles, assessed through a 10-question MCQ. Secondary outcomes included qualitative feedback on the learning experience. Outcomes were assessed immediately post-training. Overall, the results showed a significant improvement in MCQ scores in the intervention group compared to the control group. These findings suggest that robotic arthroplasty software training significantly enhances the understanding of TKA alignment and balancing principles in orthopedic trainees.
