Accuracy of a New Augmented Reality Assisted Technique for Total Knee Arthroplasty: An In Vivo Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains the standard of care for treating end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. Approximately 15%-20% of the patients are dissatisfied following surgery. To improve accuracy and outcomes of TKA, various assistive technologies have been introduced. For this study, an augmented reality (AR) system was explored and tested.

Methods

The Knee + system (Pixee Medical, Besancon, France) was used to guide TKA. It uses a combination of quick response-code labeled instruments and AR glasses to guide tibial and femoral cuts. The primary research goal was to evaluate its accuracy by direct comparing the planned angular values for lateral distal femoral angle, medial proximal tibial angle, hip-knee-ankle axis, and tibial slope to the intraoperative
