Synopsis

Eighty patients with bi-compartmental knee osteoarthritis (OA) were randomized to receive a robotic-assisted bi-unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (bi-UKA) (n=42) or a traditional, mechanically-aligned total knee arthroplasty (TKA) (n=38). The outcomes of interest included component positioning and anatomy of the knee joint (femoral and tibial coronal and sagittal angles, femoral and tibial axial ...
