Joint Replacement
Having just returned from this year's Academy meeting, it was a great pleasure to see many of the subscribers of this newsletter at our booth, evening educational event, and symposium. This was such an exciting time for us from a clinical perspective, with a record number of 22 submissions related to our products accepted and presented! Whether you were present at 2018 Academy or weren't able to make it, we thought you might like highlights of the clinical data presented.

Time-Related Learning Curve of Robotic-Arm Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty
This prospective observational study evaluating the initial experience of two surgeons with robotic-arm assisted TKA demonstrated that surgeons overcame the learning period during the first 10-15 cases using robotic-arm assisted TKA, even with limited surgical experience.1
2 Year Results of a Randomized Trial of Robotic Surgical Assistance Versus Manual Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty
This 139-patient study is the first prospective randomized control trial to have demonstrated functional superiority of robotic-arm assisted UKA in a more active subgroup of patients undergoing surgery for unicompartmental osteoarthritis.2
Midterm Survivorship and Patient Satisfaction of Robotic-Arm Assisted Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: A Multicenter Study
This prospective multicenter study of 432 knees demonstrated high midterm survivorship (97.0%) of robotic-arm assisted medial UKA with 91% of the patients either very satisfied or satisfied.3
Outcomes of Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
This 122-patient study showed 99.2% survivorship in high-risk RA patients, plus excellent functional outcomes and ROM and no adverse radiographic findings.4
Results of Cemented vs Cementless Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Using the Same Implant Design
This retrospective matched case-control study of 400 primary TKAs comparing cementless vs cemented TKAs using the same implant design (Stryker Triathlon; Stryker Inc, Mahwah, NJ), concluded that as the demographics of patients undergoing TKA change to include younger, obese, and more active patients, along with increased life expectancy, the use of a highly porous cementless tibial baseplate may be beneficial in providing long-term durable biologic fixation similar to the success of cementless total hip arthroplasty.5
Dual Mobility versus Fixed Bearing Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Under 55 Years of Age: A Single Institution Matched Cohort Analysis
This matched, controlled study comparing two groups of 136 patients reported no dislocations or intraprosthetic dissociations of primary THAs in patients under 55 years of age using DM bearing systems at a mean follow up of 3.3 years.6
Two Year Follow‐up Clinical Outcomes with a Modular Dual Mobility (MDM) System: A Multicenter Study
This study of 217 hips implanted with the modular dual mobility (MDM) system examined clinical outcomes after 2 years of implantation and reported that patients appear to have excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes at two-year follow‐up with this implant with no dislocations or ALTR.7

I look forward to continuing to share new clinical data about our products with you as we create the future together!
