Computer-Assisted Surgery versus Manual Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case-Controlled Study

The use of computer-assisted surgery by orthopaedists experienced in the performance of total knee arthroplasty results in better overall limb and implant alignment and fewer outliers as compared with the findings after manual total knee arthroplasty1-8. However, we are not aware of any studies that have established whether these improvements in alignment accuracy are associated with superior clinical and patient-perceived functional results.
