Descripción: | Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the results of computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (CA-TKA) and non-computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (C-TKA). Methods: We reviewed 175 cases of TKA and assigned them into two groups according to the use of computer assistance. Group A consisted of 50 cases (35 women, 15 men; mean age: 61.3 years), who had C-TKA and Group B consisted of 125 cases (94 women, 31 men; mean age: 70.9 years), CA-TKA. The results of the groups were compared based on the length of the incision, the duration of the surgery, the length of hospitalization and the final alignment of the prosthesis. Results: The achievement rate of optimal alignment in the coronal plane was significantly higher in the CA-TKA group (95.2%) than the C-TKA group (74%) (p |
