This prospective study aimed to verify the efficacy of a novel, hand-held, iPod-based navigation system in comparison to traditional navigation system for total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Limb alignment, tibial and distal femoral bone cut thickness and plane were recorded intraoperatively using both iPod-based and traditional navigation system in 36 knees undergoing primary TKAs.
Intraoperatively, the iPod-based navigation system showed good to excellent correlation and reliability for tibial and distal femoral bone cut thickness, plane of the femoral cut and limb alignment when compared to the traditional navigation system.
Despite its quick registration feature, the iPod-based system has an efficacy similar to traditional navigation system and is a positive step towards making navigation systems for TKA more compact, user-friendly, time and cost-effective.
本前瞻性研究旨在验证一种新型手持 iPod 导航系统在全膝关节置换术 (TKA) 中相较于传统导航系统的有效性。
在 36 例初次 TKA 患者中,使用两种导航系统(iPod 导航系统和传统导航系统)术中记录下肢对线、胫骨和股骨远端截骨厚度和截骨面。
与传统导航系统相比,iPod 导航系统在胫骨和股骨远端截骨厚度、股骨截骨面和下肢对线方面具有良好到极好的相关性和可靠性。
尽管 i-Pod 系统具有快速注册功能,但它的有效性与传统导航系统相似,这是使 TKA 导航系统更加紧凑、用户友好、省时和具有成本效益的积极步骤。
