Clinical and Economic Case for Patient-Specific Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Study
The PSK system demonstrated advantages in operative efficiency and improved patient-reported outcomes at the three-month follow-up compared to a standard OTS knee replacement system. These findings highlight potential benefits in adopting patient-specific implants in TKA, with implications for both clinical outcomes and healthcare cost savings. However, further research with longer follow-up periods in diverse patient populations is necessary to fully understand the long-term implications of patient-specific knee replacement systems.
