Robotic arm-assisted<i>versus</i>conventional unicompartmental knee arthroplasty

Abstract

Robotic arm-assisted surgery results in improved early pain scores and early function scores in some patient-reported outcomes measures, but no difference was observed at one year post-operatively. Although improved results favoured the robotic arm-assisted group in active patients (i.e. UCLA ⩾ 5), these do not withstand adjustment for multiple comparisons.<b>Cite this article</b>: M. J. G.
