Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty Has Similar Rates of Prosthetic Noise Generation as Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Noise has been reported to occur with relatively high frequency after conventional total knee arthroplasty (C-TKA), and this may impact the incidence of patient satisfaction and function. The purpose of this study was to compare the rate of patient-reported prosthetic noise generation after robotically-assisted TKA (RA-TKA) and C-TKA.

Methods

A retrospective study was conducted of unilateral primary RA-TKAs and C-TKAs performed between 2018 and 2021. Patients completed a survey consisting of 4 Likert scale questions related to prosthetic noise generation and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Score Joint Replacement and Forgotten Joint Score were assessed prospectively preoperatively and at a minimum of 1-year of clinical follow-up. Statistical analysis was done utili
