Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – New research on Surgery - Arthroplasty is the subject of a report. According to news reporting out of Nagpur, India, b y NewsRx editors, research stated, “External rotation of femoral component is co ntroversial in Total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of our study is to assess the precision of femoral component external rotation in Robotic Assisted All Bur r TKA.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research, “This is a prospective study of 30 cases who underwent All Burr Robotic Assisted TKA at our institute, RNH hospital. Inclusion criteria were primary and secondary osteoarthritis of th e knee and exclusion criteria were revision and partial knee replacement. On Nav io robotic system femoral external rotation was planned as per medio-lateral fle xion gap balancing and executed with burr. Post-operative CT scan was done in al l patients to assess intra-operative planned femoral external rotation. Out of 3 0 cases, 20 were female and 10 were male. Mean age was 66.06±7.43 years. On Navi o the planned external rotation of femoral component was 2.86±1.16. Average of f emoral component external rotation on postoperative CT scan was 3.11±1.16. The m ean deviation of achieved femoral component external rotation from planned exter nal rotation was -0.24 to ±0.28. Only 37% patients required 3° ext ernal rotation. Correlation between planned and achieved femoral component exter nal rotation was significant, positive and very strong as indicated by r=0.97 an d p=0.0001.”
