Synopsis

Thirty patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and undergoing a primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were randomized to receive a conventional jig-based TKA (n=15) or robotic-arm assisted TKA (n=15). Outcomes of interest included changes in systemic inflammatory markers (i.e. interleukin-1β [IL-1β], interleukin-6 [IL-6], tumour necrotic factor α [TNF-α], white cell count, neutrophils, lymphocytes,...
