Evidence-based assessment report 2010/001
This evidence-based assessment report was
considered by SHTG on 23 February 2010. Of particular note is the
report from on computer-navigated total knee arthroplasty. After
reviewing the evidence, this report concluded that although
computer navigation improved postoperative mechanical axis
alignment of the knee, there is insufficient evidence to support
the claim that reducing the rate of knee malalignment will decrease
total knee arthroplasty revision rates.
For the first time, the report also contains
four summaries of health services research methodology papers,
including one on association between volume and outcome in
surgery.
