Research summary
Malalignment of an orthopaedic implant leads to poor performance of the implant while in situ, potentially causing pain to the patient and also increased likelihood of failure of the implant and requirement for revision. Various tools (manual instruments) are used to support the positioning of the implant to support operations such as partial or total knee replacements. The development of Computer Assisted Surgical (CAS) Navigation aims to improve the accuracy and precision of implant component position and as such also overall limb alignment. Various CAS systems have been developed but further evidence is required to support the usage of such systems.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and accuracy of knee arthroplasty (replacement) implant position using Navio Robotic guidance and to collect clinical and patient reported outcome data.
This is a prospective case series of 40 patients undergoing primary knee arthroplasty (replacement).REC name
