Better Rehabilitation and More Satisfaction in Immediate Post-Operative Period in Patients of Robotic TKR As Compared to Conventional TKR
Authors/Creators
Description
Total knee replacement (TKR) is highly effective for pain relief and restoration of joint function in arthritic knees, providing satisfactory results in over 90% of patients. Efforts to improve clinical and radiological outcomes have spurred technological advances, such as computer navigation, patient-specific cutting guides, and semicustom patient-specific implants. Robotic TKR has gained popularity among orthopaedic surgeons in the operative suite because of its accuracy and precision of component placement. Patient satisfaction after TKA can be associated with patients' expectations, pain relief, and functional improvement. Scoring systems like the knee society score and patient reported outcome measures can be used to assess the outcome which directly co relates with patient satisfaction.In this study knee society score, and a PROM (Patient reported outcome measures) of three sets of questions were used. This study showed robotic TKR provides a better rehabilitation and high satisfaction rate in patients in immediate post-operative period. So patients may be counselled accordingly if they want easy and better rehabilitation in immediate post-operative period.
