We report 10-year clinical outcomes of a prospective randomised controlled study on uni-compartmental knee arthroplasty using an active constraint robot. Measuring the clinical impact of CAOS systems has generally been based around surrogate radiological measures with currently few long-term functional follow-up studies reported. We present 10 year clinical follow up results of robotic vs conventional surgery in UKA. The initial study took place in 2004 and included 28 patients, 13 in the robotic arm and 15 in the conventional arm. All patients underwent medial compartment UKA using the ‘OXFORD’ mobile bearing knee system. Clinical outcome at 10 years was scored using the WOMAC scoring system.Introduction
