Early Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of a Novel Robotic TKA System

This study aimed to evaluate the early clinical and radiological outcomes of robot assisted total knee arthroplasty, and to determine the efficiency and safety of its bone resection and implant positioning of the novel robot system. 144 patients undergoing primary TKA were enrolled in this prospective, multicenter RCT conducted in 3 hospitals. The primary outcome was the rate of patients whose postoperative alignment was less than 3° deviated from the planned evaluated by full-length weight-bearing X-rays of the lower limb at 12 weeks postoperatively. Secondary outcomes will include coronal and sagittal alignment of the components, operation times, blood loss, 12-week range of motion(ROM), 12-week postoperative functional outcomes and satisfaction evaluated by the American Knee Society Score (KSS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and adverse events (AEs).
