Inflammatory Response in Robotic-Arm-Assisted Versus Conventional Jig-Based TKA and the Correlation with Early Functional Outcomes: Results of a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
Abstract
Although the exact etiology of patient dissatisfaction in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is unclear, the inflammatory response precipitated by surgery may be implicated. Robotic TKA has been shown to result in reduced bone and soft-tissue trauma. The objectives of this study were to compare the inflammatory response in conventional jig-based TKA versus robotic-arm-assisted TKA and to examine the relationship with early functional outcomes.
