No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine femur bone mineral density (BMD) change before and after surgery in patients receiving cemented or cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA). performed with manual or robotic methods. 100 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 26 months.

Conditions

  • Knee Arthropathy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Cement

The cemented approach includes inserting cement into the femur and tibia prior to setting the prosthetic.

OTHER

Cementless

The non-cement approach uses a different type of prosthetic that is placed tight against the bone and requires no other fixation material.

PROCEDURE

Manual Surgery

The manual approach is the surgeon determining prosthetic placement using techniques developed during training.

PROCEDURE

Robotic Surgery

The haptic robotic assisted approach uses a computer and robot to determine specific placement of the prosthetic.
