Résumé : | Robotic-assisted surgery has been recently introduced to improve biomechanical restoration, and thus better clinical and functional outcomes, after knee joint arthroplasty operations. Robotic-assisted uni-compartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) aims indeed to improve surgical bone resection and alignment accuracy, optimized component positioning and knee balancing, relying on a series of calibration measurements performed during the surgery. These advantages focus therefore on improving the reproducibility of UKA surgeries, reducing (if not eliminating) eventual differences among high- and low-volume surgeons. The purpose of this study is to investigate and quantify the reproducibility of in-vivo measurements performed with a robotic system: the intra- and inter-observer variability of a series of measurements was therefore analyzed and compared among differently experienced operators. |
