- Abstract
Technology such as computer-assisted navigation systems, robotic-assisted systems, and patient-specific instrumentation has been increasingly explored during the past decade in an effort to optimize component alignment and improve clinical outcomes. Computer-assisted navigation accurately restores mechanical-axis alignment, but clinical outcome data are inconsistent. Computer-assisted navigation gap balancing has shown early promise in establishing mechanical-axis alignment with improved functional outcomes. Robotic-assisted systems more accurately restore component alignment when compared with computer-assisted navigation, but clinical outcomes have yet to be determined. Patient-specific instrumentation does not consistently improve alignment, accuracy, or patient outcomes. Studies demonstrating implant survivorship, cost-efficiency, and improved clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction are needed. [Orthopedics. 2017; 40(6):338-352.].
