Original Title:
Computer-assisteret kirurgi ved knæoperationer – en medicinsk teknologivurdering
Authors' objectives:
The purpose of the present HTA is to investigate the available evidence of the use of CAS in total knee replacement (TKR) and to assess the consequences of CAS for the technology, the patient, the organisation and the economy.
Authors' recommendations:
The overall conclusion regarding CAS consists of the following points:
A conservative analysis shows that CAS is more expensive than a traditional total knee arthroplasty by aproximately 10.000 d.kr.
CAS provides a possibility for a more precise placement of the prosthesis measured on radiographs. There is a clear reduction in outliers
Presently, a clear connection between a more precisely placed prosthesis and an improved early range of movement, has not been established.
CAS technology is advantageous in patients where traditional instrumentation is not possible due to malalignment in the femur or tibea.
