Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Summation of angle differences between pre-operative plan and the final implant position as indicated by computed tomography (CT)

    The absolute value of the individual differences in various angle measurements will be added together to form a total summation of angle difference.

    within 2 weeks before surgery, within one month of surgery

Secondary Outcomes (16)

  • Pain as assessed by the PROMIS 10 measurement system

    within 2 weeks before surgery

  • Pain as assessed by the PROMIS 10 measurement system

    3 months after surgery

  • Pain as assessed by the PROMIS 10 measurement system

    6 months after surgery

  • Pain as assessed by the PROMIS 10 measurement system

    1 year after surgery

  • Function as assessed by the PROMIS 10 measurement system

    within 2 weeks before surgery

  • +11 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

manually instrumented total knee arthroplasty

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Manually instrumented implantation of a total knee prosthesis involves use of cutting guides or jigs that are secured to the femur and the tibia. The femoral guide is secured to the femur after an intramedullary referenced guide is placed into the femur and the rotational alignment is then assessed with use of the epicondylar axis. An extra-medullary tibial alignment guide will be used to create the tibial cut.

Procedure: manually instrumented total knee arthroplasty

robotic assisted total knee arthroplasty

EXPERIMENTAL

Robotically assisted surgery is used in conjunction with the preoperative CT scan and intra-operative bony registration of the patient's knee. Femoral and tibial trackers are placed and then the bone is registered using bony landmarks to allow the computer and robot to know where the patients' femur and tibia are in space. Once this is complete the preoperative templated surgical plan (performed by the PI) is used to register where to make the bony cuts in order to implant the knee components. The cutting process is performed by the surgeon with the robot assisting in guiding the cuts based on the registered CT anatomy. The surgeon has complete control of the cutting process with the assistance of the robot for placement of the cuts.
