Computer-Assisted Navigation in Total Knee Arthroplasty
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a widely performed surgical procedure for end-stage knee osteoarthritis. While generally successful, improper positioning or alignment of the implants during surgery can lead to complications such as restricted range of motion, instability, and early failure 1. Computer-assisted navigation (CAN) has emerged as a technology to improve the accuracy of implant placement in TKA. This article evaluates the impact of CAN on implant alignment, limb alignment, and clinical outcomes, while also discussing the learning curve and cost-effectiveness of this technology.
