Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Surgical Technology

Background:

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the standard treatment for advanced gonarthrosis.
Key goals include improved range of motion, pain reduction, and limb axis correction.
Prosthesis longevity and patient comfort depend on surgical accuracy and load distribution.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the precision of TKA component placement using the OrthoPilot computer navigation system.
To assess the impact of computer navigation on achieving optimal joint alignment.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 75 TKA cases performed with the OrthoPilot system.
Post-operative evaluation of prosthesis component placement using standing AP X-rays.

Main Results:

The OrthoPilot system achieved precise placement of tibial components.
Average tibial component placement was 1.7 degrees varus.
Average knee valgus angle was 5 degrees, with a Q wedge of 6.5 degrees.

Conclusions:

The OrthoPilot computer navigation system enhances precision in total knee arthroplasty.
This improved accuracy may contribute to better long-term surgical outcomes and implant durability.
