SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: Available data of enrolled patients were used for analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: Available data of enrolled patients were used for analysis.

Assess the differences in EQ-5D between iASSIST™ and conventional instrumentation in primary TKA procedures at 12 months postoperatively. Comparison of the derived EQ-5D scale and health state between the 2 groups. The EQ-5D questionnaire includes five dimensions (5D): mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. EQ-5D values range from -0.2 to 1 where the negative values correspond to bad health states (states worse than death), and 1.0 corresponds to perfect health.
