To determine if robotically-assisted UKA results in more consistent and improved component positioning and better patient reported outcome scores compared to manual TKA and MAKO TKA.
The purpose of this study is to determine the early clinical and radiographic outcomes of robotically-assisted medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA) with the MAKO surgical robot using the Restoris MCK Partial Implant System. The primary end point will be the mean weekly VAS pain score during the first four weeks postoperatively. The results of this study may be compared to those of previously studied cohorts of patients from this institution who underwent manual total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with the Triathlon Knee System as well as robotically-assisted total knee arthroplasty with the MAKO surgical robot using the Triathlon Knee System
