Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the 2-year post-operative clinical outcomes of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with computer-assisted surgery (CAS) using the pinless BrainLAB® VectorVision® Knee 2.5 Navigation System versus standard CAS. A retrospective case-control study of 200 patients who underwent TKA with CAS from 2008 to 2012 was conducted. Patients in the pinless arm underwent a shorter duration of surgery compared to the standard CAS arm with 72 ± 13 min and 83 ± 11 min, respectively ( p < 0.001), with improvement in Oxford Knee Score from 34 ± 8 to 18 ± 5 and 34 ± 9 to 18 ± 5, respectively, without statistically significant differences in clinical outcomes at 2 years.

Keywords: SF-36; computer-assisted surgery; osteoarthritis; pinless navigation; total knee arthroplasty.
