The first study, which will take ten years to complete, will compare the outcomes of MAKOplasty – a robotic assisted partial knee resurfacing procedure – with traditional (non-robotic) total knee replacement surgery. The research grant provides funding for Rebound to assess and record actual patient outcomes.
The second study, expected to take three years to complete, involves documenting and comparing surgical and after surgery costs, recovery time, and outcomes of robotic assisted partial knee replacement and traditional total knee replacement.
