Background: Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery has grown in popularity due to its potential for increased precision and functional outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of the robotic-assisted and conventional knee replacement procedures using the Oxford Knee Score.
Methodology: A case-comparison study was undertaken on 50 patients undergoing knee replacement surgery at Tunga group of hospitals between January to June 2024. Participants were evaluated using the OKS, a validated method for measuring knee function, with values ranging from 0 (worst) to 48 (best).
Results: Robot-assisted operations had a slightly higher mean OKS score than conventional procedures, although the difference was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Functional outcomes improved slightly, but not significantly, following robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery. This shows that factors other than the type of surgery, such as patient characteristics and rehabilitation, may play an important role in recovery.
Keywords: Robotic surgery, Oxford knee score, Knee replacement surgery.
