Surgeon Physiologic Stress During Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: Manual vs Computer-Assisted Technique
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
This study aims to compare the physiologic stress experienced by the surgeon during unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) performed using a manual technique versus a computer-assisted technique. Surgeon physiologic parameters, including energy expenditure, heart rate, heart rate variability, and minute ventilation, will be measured intraoperatively using a wearable monitoring device (Hexoskin). The study seeks to determine whether computer-assisted surgery influences surgeon workload compared to the conventional manual approach.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Surgeon Energy Expenditure (kcal) — intraoperative (measured continuously from surgical draping to wound closure)
The total metabolic energy consumed by the surgeon during the surgical procedure, measured in kilocalories (kcal).
