Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) takes longer than mechanical total knee arthroplasty (M-TKA), but trainees do not add extra surgical time. This allows for effective robotic surgical education without compromising efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Robotics in Medicine
  • Surgical Education

Background:

  • Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) offers enhanced accuracy and real-time feedback for alignment and soft-tissue balancing.
  • Both robotic assistance and trainee involvement may prolong surgical duration.
  • This study investigates the impact of RA-TKA and trainee participation on surgical time compared to traditional methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare surgical times between robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) and mechanical total knee arthroplasty (M-TKA).
  • To determine if trainee involvement increases surgical time in RA-TKA procedures.
  • To assess the feasibility of using RA-TKA for trainee education without compromising efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective cohort study of 220 primary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs): 110 M-TKAs and 110 RA-TKAs.

  • MAKO robotic system used for all RA-TKAs; measured resection technique for M-TKAs.
  • Tourniquet time served as the primary measure of surgical duration, comparing trainee-led vs. consultant-led procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • RA-TKAs had significantly longer tourniquet times (100 minutes) compared to M-TKAs (89 minutes) (P < .0001).
    • No significant difference in tourniquet times was observed between trainee-performed and consultant-performed surgeries for either M-TKA (P = .3452) or RA-TKA (P = .6724).

    Conclusions:

    • Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty procedures are associated with increased surgical time.
    • Orthopedic trainees do not add significant extra surgical time when performing RA-TKA.
    • RA-TKA can be utilized for trainee education, providing benefits of robotic technology without sacrificing surgical efficiency or increasing patient risk.
