Minimal clinically important difference in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty vs standard manual total knee arthroplasty

Journal of Arthroplasty Feb 22, 2021

Shaw JH, Lindsay-Rivera K, Buckley P, et al. - This study was carried out to ascertain if robotic total knee arthroplasty (R-TKA) demonstrated evidence of improvement in minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in early (< 4 weeks) and intermittent (4-8 months) patient-reported outcomes compared to manual total knee arthroplasty (M-TKA). Between December 2017 and October 2019, researchers examined a prospectively collected database of 1,160 consecutive patients undergoing R-TKA or M-TKA. The data exhibited that R-TKA indicated comparable MCID achievement to M-TKA across the larger cohort. As per the findings, single surgeon comparison did exhibit some early advantage. The outcomes suggested that the confounding variables such as surgical technique, implant fixation, and responsiveness of an outcome measure may be as important as simply what tools are applied during surgery. Such granular data should be sought out in further research.
