What this trial studies

This multicenter, prospective cohort study evaluates the effectiveness of Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty (RATKA) using a Medial Congruent implant against Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty (cTKA) with a Medial Pivot design in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis. The study aims to assess clinical and functional outcomes, focusing on implant alignment, insert thickness accuracy, and patient satisfaction over 3, 6, and 12 months. Approximately 300 adults will participate, with outcomes measured through radiographic analysis and patient-reported outcomes. The study is conducted under local Institutional Review Board approvals and aims for publication in a high-impact orthopedic journal.
