This study examined the advantages of CAOS TKA in short-term functional outcomes compared to conventional instrumented TKA. Data were collected from a prospective, multi-center study where 334 were treated with CAOS TKA, and 461 were treated with conventional TKA. Postoperatively at 2-3 year, the CAOS cases had significantly better range of motion (ROM), KSS function, and sub-component measures of KSS function than the conventional cases. Further analysis revealed that geographic region was associated with ROM but had no significant impact on KSS function. CAOS TKA was associated with higher postoperative KSS function and its sub-component measures. The short-term results reported support the use of CAOS technology with the goals of better function.
