The Accuracy of a Robotically-controlled Freehand Sculpting Tool for Unicondylar Knee Replacement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surgical robotics with navigation has the potential to improve the accuracy of unicondylar knee replacement. Precision freehand sculpting tools allow the surgeon to accurately execute their surgical plan. A controlled study comparing the planned and final placement of uni compartmental knee replacement implants in nine cadavers. A quantitative assessment analysed the translation and rotational differences between the positions of the implants. The maximum femoral implant rotational error was 3.7 o

High degree of accuracy of a novel image-free handheld robot for unicondylar knee arthroplasty in a cadaveric study.
BACKGROUND Surgical robotics has been shown to improve the accuracy of bone preparation and soft tissue balance in unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA). However, although extensive data have emerged with regard to a CT scan-based haptically constrained robotic arm, little is known about the accuracy of a newer alternative, an imageless robotic system. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We assessed the accurac...
متن کاملRevision of Unicondylar to Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review
Isolated unicompartmental osteoarthritis in the young patient is a difficult problem to treat; they may be too young to consider total knee arthroplasty due to difficulties with inevitable future revision. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is one possible solution as it is perceived by some as being a smaller surgical insult than total knee arthroplasty, with easier revision to total knee arth...
متن کاملPeri-articular steroid injection improves the outcome after unicondylar knee replacement: a prospective, randomised controlled trial with a two-year follow-up.
We have performed a prospective double-blind, randomised controlled trial over two years to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an intra-operative peri-articular injection of triamcinolone acetonide in patients undergoing medial unicondylar knee replacement. We randomised 90 patients into two equal groups. The study group received an injection of triamcinolone acetonide, bupivacaine, and epinep...
متن کاملPrecision Freehand Sculpting of Bone
The Precision Freehand Sculptor (PFS) is a compact, handheld, intelligent tool to assist the surgeon in accurately cutting bone. A retractable rotary blade on the PFS allows a computer to control what bone is removed. Accuracy is ensured even though the surgeon uses the tool freehand. The computer extends or retracts the blade based on data from an optical tracking camera. Three users used each...
متن کاملRadiological difficulty in identifying unicompartmental knee replacement dislocation
Unicondylar knee replacement is a relatively common elective orthopedic procedure but is not often seen in the Emergency Department setting. Familiarity with normal clinical and radiological appearances is difficult to gain. Dislocation of the mobile bearing component "spacer" is a known complication of unicondylar knee replacements, and these patients will initially present to the accident and...
