Abstract

Navigation-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) reportedly improves component alignment. Also, experience on the knee surgery is complementary to the success of total knee arthroplasty even with the use of navigation system. One hundred and twenty-five consecutive patients who underwent navigation-assisted TKA and 125 patients who underwent conventional TKA by an experienced surgeon were evaluated for mechanical alignment, perioperative hemodynamic status, and early complications. Patients with navigation-assisted TKA showed better mechanical axis, coronal and sagittal axis of the femoral component and coronal axis of the tibia components. Patients in the navigation-assisted TKA group experienced less blood loss, needed fewer transfusions, and required fewer hospitalization days and fewer early complications. Navigation-assisted TKA improved mechanical and component alignment, perioperative hemodynamic status.
