Navigation knee replacement

Abstract: Total knee replacement (TKR) achieves an immediate and exceptional restoration in the quality of life that is comparable only to a few other procedures. It has been suggested that the most common cause of revision TKR is error in surgical technique, from malpositioning of the components which results in a poorer post-operative outcome. Based on the theoretical assumption that the use of computer-assisted systems (CAS) in TKRs may improve implant alignment and thus implant longevity, the use of this technology … Show more

“…Although there are many studies in the literature with good levels of evidence proving that navigation-assisted surgery has greater precision for obtaining the desired alignment for the lower limb (8,(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31) , it is still not possible to demonstrate gains in the clinical results or in the longevity of implants, despite some favorable studies (12,14,25,26,(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40) . Although there is some controversy, there is evidenced of possible parallel benefits relating to a lower thromboembolism rate (41)(42)(43) and a lower level of bleeding (11,(44)(45)(46)(47) with navigation.…”

“…Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common, successful and safe surgical treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee that achieves a high percentage of satisfied patients [1,2]. The Anatomic Graduated Component (AGC) (Biomet, Inc., Warsaw, IN, USA) system was originally introduced in 1983.…”

“…It is also assumed that computer navigation may improve implant survival, as clinical studies indicate an increased incidence of revision if TKA prostheses are implanted with an axis deviation of more than 3 varus/valgus [3][4][5]. However, critics emphasize that, because the technology is still quite new, no long-term results concerning implant survival and computer navigation are yet available [6][7][8]. In addition, they highlight two disadvantages of computer navigation: First, navigation is associated with additional costs, calculated to be 300-450 E per operation [1,9,10].…”
