ARTHROPLASTY
Similar functional outcomes with conventional intra/extramedullary & computer-assisted TKA
J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong). 2015 Apr;23(1):71-5.90 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with patellar resurfacing were randomized to undergo the procedure with either the conventional technique using intramedullary guides, the conventional technique with extramedullary guides, or using the computer assisted method. The purpose of the RCT was to determine whether there was any difference in functional outcome that resulted from the methodology used to carry out the TKA.
