Investigation of robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty with Skywalker and eMP knee

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective trial aims to evaluate the safety and performance of robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) using the Skywalker system and the Evolution Medial Pivot (eMP) knee implant. The study will include patients who meet specific inclusion and exclusion criteria and will assess various parameters such as surgical time and postoperative recovery. Additionally, it will compare outcomes of eMP patients with Skywalker against those with conventional instrumentation and non-MP TKAs.
