Outcome Assessors
Masked investigators will be responsible for the data processing and analysis. Reporting will be done together with non-masked authors.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Robot-assisted TKA

Patients undergoing TKA with the assistance of robot technology.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Robot-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

People will undergo surgery to replace the knee joint with a prosthesis in case of osteoarthritis. This will be performed with the help of a surgical robot.

Conventional TKA

Patients undergoing TKA with manual instrumentarium

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

People will undergo surgery to replace the knee joint with a prosthesis in case of osteoarthritis. This will be performed with manual instrumentarium (jig-based).
