Clinical Outcomes of Joint Arthroplasty

Clinical Outcomes of Joint Arthroplasty

The purpose of this study is to document the clinical outcomes of partial knee replacement surgery using robotic-arm assisted knee joint surgery at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years post operative.

The purpose of this study is to document the clinical outcomes of partial knee replacement surgery using robotic-arm assisted knee joint surgery at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years post operative.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All patients over 21 years of age who require a primary robotic-arm assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty or bicompartmental knee arthroplasty. These patients will have failed non-operative management of their joint disease and are candidates for partial joint replacement because of pain and stiffness that interferes with their performances or normal daily activities.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient had an active infection
• Onlay implants were implanted without bone cement
• Patient does not have enough bone stock to allow for insertion and fixation of the components
• Patient does not have sufficient soft tissue integrity to allow for stability
• Patient has a neurological or muscular deformity that did not allow for control of the knee
• Patient will be excluded from participation in the study if they are cognitively unable to answer study questions
• Pregnant women are excluded.
