  Hands-on robotic unicompartmental knee replacement - A prospective, randomised controlled study

  , Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Vol: 88-B, Pages: 188-197, ISSN: 0301-620X

  We performed a prospective, randomised controlled trial of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty comparing the performance of the Acrobot system with conventional surgery. A total of 27 patients (28 knees) awaiting unicompartmental knee arthroplasty were randomly allocated to have the operation performed conventionally or with the assistance of the Acrobot. The primary outcome measurement was the angle of tibiofemoral alignment in the coronal plane, measured by CT. Other secondary parameters were evaluated and are reported. All of the Acrobot group had tibiofemoral alignment in the coronal plane within 2 degrees of the planned position, while only 40% of the conventional group achieved this level of accuracy. While the operations took longer, no adverse effects were noted, and there was a trend towards improvement in performance with increasing accuracy based on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index and American Knee Society scores at six weeks and three months. The Acrobot device allows the surgeon to reproduce a pre-operative plan more reliably than is possible using conventional techniques which may have clinical advantages.

  The Acrobot® system for robotic mis total knee and uni-condylar arthroplasty

  , International Journal of Humanoid Robotics, Vol: 3, Pages: 417-428, ISSN: 0219-8436

  The concept of the Acrobot® system is described. The technical details of the complete system are then outlined, including the pre-operative planner which incorporates 3D CT models together with CAD models of prostheses that can be used to plan the leg alignment, position the prostheses, plan the shape of the cuts required and generate the regions within which cuts must be constrained. The robotic system is also described, together with the methods for locating and clamping the patient. An outline is given of the means by which the preoperative model is registered or aligned to the intra-operative position of the patient and of the robot, without the need for fiducial markers. Post-operative results are given, for both total knee replacement and also for the more recent clinical trials using a minimally invasive robotic procedure for uni-condylar arthroplasty. © 2006 World Scientific Publishing Company.
