Randomized Controlled TrialSimilar postoperative outcomes after total knee arthroplasty with measured resection and gap balancing techniques using a contemporary knee system: a randomized controlled trial.
The Attune® Knee System provides new instrumentation to achieve symmetric flexion/extension gaps in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there is limited information on the optimal TKA technique using this system. The aim of this randomised controlled trial was to determine which surgical technique results in better postoperative clinical outcomes after TKA using the contemporary Attune® Knee System: the measured resection or gap balancing technique. ⋯ I.

Robotic arm-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: high survivorship and good patient-related outcomes at a minimum five years of follow-up.
Robotic arm-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (RA-UKA) has been shown to improve component placement, reduce intraoperative variability, increase patient satisfaction and improve short-term survivorship results. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the incidence of revision and the clinical performance at a minimum of 5-year follow-up for a cohort of patients who received a medial RA-UKA. ⋯ IV.
