Background: Total knee arthroplasty has greatly benefitted by the use of computer-aided navigation approaches. The latest chapter in the use of computer-aided devices in TKA is the application of accelerometer-based hand-held devices. With several advantages offered by the accelerometer-based navigation system, it is a promising candidate for preferred modality for TKA. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical, functional and radiological outcomes of accelerometer-based and conventional navigational approaches.
Methods: We assessed a total of 68 arthroplasties for comparison of pre-operative and post-operative parameters. For pre-operative outcomes we compared operative time and loss of blood/hemoglobin. For the post-operative outcomes, we considered the radiological outcomes used to assess optimum alignment, and used interviewer-administered International Knee Socie.. Read More»
