Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

As an intraoperative tool, a modern robotic total knee arthroplasty (TKA) system should be able to identify a patient's native femoral and tibial anatomy, as well as, assess ligament tension and gap balance. The surgeon in real time is then able to develop and execute a patient specific plan in terms of component size, alignment and rotation. In our institution we have begun to use, the OMNIBotics Knee system (Corin), which utilizes an active motorized knee spacer, BalanceBot, to objectively measure ligament tension and gap balance after the tibia has been cut and its alignment confirmed. This information is then processed through the OMNIbotics computer algorithm to appropriately size, align, and rotate the femur component to balance the flexion and extension gaps. The purpose of this study is to perform a randomized pilot study looking for an effect on early functional outcomes comparing robotic assisted TKA (RATKA) versus conventional TKA technique.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. early functional outcomes #1 [6 months]

    This will be measured by the timed-up-and-go test.

  2. Early functional outcomes #2 [6 months]

    This will be measured by the stair climbing test.
