Robotic‐Arm Assisted Bicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: Durable Results up to 7‐Year Follow‐up

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Robotic‐Arm Assisted Bicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: Durable Results up to 7‐Year Follow‐up Via The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery Abstract Background The purpose of our study was to investigate the mid-term clinical and functional outcomes of robotic-arm assisted BiKA. Methods This study reviewed a single-center prospectively maintained cohort of 50 patients (53 knees) who underwent BiKA (patellofemoral and medial compartment) at 5-year and 7- year postoperative follow-up. Results Mean follow up was 7.1±0.1 years (range, 7.0-7.3). Kaplan-Meier survivorship rates at five and seven years were 96% and 93%, respectively. At seven-year follow- up, patient satisfaction was 76% satisfied, 13% neutral, and 11% not satisfied. Mean KSS-FS was 80.5 +/-15.8 (range, 30-100) with 82% of patients reporting walking more than 10 blocks, 89% reporting walking without support, and 100% able to go up and down stairs with 61% requiring use of a rail. Three patients (four knees) underwent revision surgery. Conclusions Our study reported excellent survivorship and functional outcomes, and good-excellent satisfaction at mid-term follow-up for robotic-arm assisted BiKA.
