Total Versus Robotic Assisted Unicompartmental Knee Replacement
Total Versus Robotic Assisted Unicompartmental Knee Replacement (TRAKER) for Medial Compartment Osteoarthritis: Randomised Controlled Trial
NHS Lothian
159 participants
Aug 26, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this research is to compare the functional outcomes of patients with end stage medial compartment OA of the knee undergoing a conventional mTKA to those undergoing rUKA and to assess the associated cost economics of such technology.
