No advantage in using computer-assisted-surgical navigation for Total Knee Arthroplasty

Advantages of electromagnetic navigation in TKA remain unclear (Healio)
According to researchers, demonstrating the value of using electromagnetic navigation in total knee arthroscopy remains a challenge.
Between July 2007 and August 2010, the researchers selected 200 patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and randomly assigned them to undergo the procedure with either conventional instrumentation or an electromagnetic computer-assisted surgical technique; 101 patients were assigned to the navigated technique and 97 underwent TKA with the conventional approach. Ninety-two percent...
