- Abstract
Purpose: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) was introduced to improve limb alignment, component positioning, soft-tissue balance and to minimize surgical outliers. This study investigates perioperative outcomes, complications, and early patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of one imageless RA-TKA system compared to conventional method TKA (CM-TKA) at 24-month follow-up. Methods: This multi-surgeon retrospective cohort analysis compared 111 imageless RA-TKA patients to 110 CM-TKA patients (n = 221). Basic demographic information, intraoperative and postoperative data, and PROMs, including the functional score of the Knee Society Score (KSS-FS), The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and the Short Form 12 Mental and Physical scores (SF-12M and P), were collected and recorded preoperatively, at 3-, 12- and 24-months postoperatively. Range of motion (ROM), estimated blood loss (EBL), surgical duration, and complications were also collected. Results: There were no baseline patient demographic differences between groups. EBL (240 vs. 190 mL, p < 0.001) and surgical duration (123 vs. 107 min, p < 0.001) were significantly greater in RA-TKA. There were no significant differences in postoperative complications, ROM, length of stay (LOS), and PROMs between cohorts at 3-, 12-, 24-months postoperatively. Conclusions: Imageless RA-TKA is associated with greater EBL and surgical duration compared to CM-TKA. However, at 24-month follow-up, there were no significant differences in ROM, LOS, complications and PROMs between cohorts. Imageless robotic surgery leads to similar 24-month clinical outcomes as compared to CM-TKA. Level of evidence: III
