VRAS (Velys Robot-Assisted Solution) Operational Excellence Study

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Robotic-assisted TKA: Robotic-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty or total knee replacement is a surgical procedure using a robot to resurface a knee joint damaged with arthritis, and where the knee joint of the patient is replaced with a prosthesis.

Conventional TKA: Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty or total knee replacement is a surgical procedure to manually resurface a knee joint damaged with arthritis, and where the knee joint of the patient is replaced with a prosthesis.

Study summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in process set-up, efficiency, OR team workload, instrument trays and OR financial performance when using the VRAS (Velys Robotic Assisted Solution) of DePuy Synthes compared to conventional TKA.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Operational efficiency — 3 months
  Efficiency will be assessed using OR time, by comparing the OR days and procedures where TKR is performed conventionally or by using VRAS surgery. A granular analysis from the timestamps will be conducted using standard descriptive statistics. Additionally, the impaction process will be further analyzed, broken down into parts.
