Patients with Robotic Arm-Assisted Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (mUKA) Regain Their Preoperative Activity Level Two Weeks Earlier Compared to Robotic Arm-Assisted Kinematically Aligned Total Knee Arthroplasty (rKA-TKA)

While both the mUKA and rKA-TKA patients achieved their preoperative daily activity levels within nine weeks post-surgery, the mUKA patients reached this milestone approximately two weeks earlier. This study demonstrates a clinical benefit of mUKA in terms of faster postoperative remobilization, even when compared to kinematically aligned robotic-assisted TKA.

Abstract

While both the mUKA and rKA-TKA patients achieved their preoperative daily activity levels within nine weeks post-surgery, the mUKA patients reached this milestone approximately two weeks earlier. This study demonstrates a clinical benefit of mUKA in terms of faster postoperative remobilization, even when compared to kinematically aligned robotic-assisted TKA.
