Clinical Variability of Landmark Collection in an Imageless Robot-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty System
Year: 2018
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Use of computer-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty systems enable more accurate implant placement, better tissue balancing and improved leg alignment. Image-free computer-assisted TKA systems rely on accurate identification of femoral and tibial landmarks to guide the implant planning process. Previously, researchers have studies the variability in collection of these landmark positions and the impact of this variability on the final implant position. Here, for the first time, we present a study assessing the variability of seven landmarks during anonymized clinical cases. Of all the landmarks, we found that there was maximum variability in collection of the femoral anterior notch point.
