2017 Chitranjan S. Ranawat Award: Does Computer Navigation in Knee Arthroplasty Improve Functional Outcomes in Young Patients? A Randomized Study

Background Proponents of computer-assisted TKA suggest that better alignment of the TKAs will lead to improved long-term patient functional outcome and survivorship of the implants. However, there is little evidence about whether the improved position and alignment of the knee components obtained using computer navigation improve patient function and the longevity of the TKA.
