In the researchers' words

The purpose of this study is to determine the early clinical and radiographic outcomes of robotically assisted total knee arthroplasty with the MAKO surgical robot using the Triathlon knee system. Results of this study will be compared to those of a previously published cohort of patients from this institution who underwent TKA using non-robotic, manual instruments. MAKO TKA patients will be given Fitbits and the Focus Motion Knee Brace to capture the data listed in attachment section. The results of this data will be compared to the control group to see if there is or there is not a difference in clinical outcomes with patients receiving Total knee surgery using the MAKO surgical robot versus those who got Total knee surgery without the MAKO robot.
