Summary

The goal of this prospective, randomized study is to compare the outcomes of patients undergoing Robotic Arm-Assisted TKA (RA-TKA) with the intraoperative use of a tourniquet to those undergoing RA-TKA with a short tourniquet time.

Detailed description

The goal of this prospective, randomized study is to compare the outcomes of patients undergoing Robotic Arm-Assisted TKA (RA-TKA) with the intraoperative use of a tourniquet to those undergoing RA-TKA with a short tourniquet time. The primary objectives will be to compare the total duration of hospital stay, quadriceps function, and the amount of postoperative narcotics utilized and VAS pain levels. The secondary objective will be to compare variables of patient functionality at five postoperative intervals.

Conditions

• Knee Arthropathy

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Primary Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty with a short tourniquet time	Primary Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty with a short tourniquet time. Short tourniquet time is defined in this study as the release of the tourniquet after the initial exposure, resulting in a total tourniquet time of only 10-15 minutes.
