Computer-navigated versus conventional total knee arthroplasty: no difference in implant survival at 15-year follow-up

GLGiovanna P. LongoGPGiacomo PacchiarottiCPCarmela Pizzigallo

Key Points

  • The aim is to compare implant survival and functional outcomes between computer-navigated and conventional total knee arthroplasty techniques after 15 years.
  • Comparison of implant survival using computer-navigated and conventional techniques
  • Assessment of functional outcomes after 15 years follow-up
  • Prospective study design for future validation
  • No significant differences in implant survival between the two techniques
  • Functional outcomes were similar in both groups
  • Findings indicate no clear advantage of the navigated technique over conventional methods

Abstract

At 15 years, the navigated technique did not demonstrate significant advantages over the conventional approach in terms of implant survival or functional outcomes. Larger prospective studies are required to confirm these findings.
