Computer-assisted navigation is beneficial both in primary and revision surgery with modular rotating-hinge knee arthroplasty.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe objective of the present study was to explore the effect of navigation on the reconstruction of the mechanical leg axis, implant positioning and the restoration of the joint line in hinged knee arthroplasty in vivo. We present the first 1- to 3-year clinical and radiological results following computer-navigated implantation of the EnduRo modular rotating-hinge knee arthroplasty system (Aesculap AG, Tuttlingen, Germany) as a primary or revision implant.
methodsThirty-one patients were analysed retrospectively. Indication was revision surgery in 18 patients and complex primary surgery in 13. The clinical and radiological results of 31 patients with a minimum follow-up of 12 months (mean 22.2 ± 6.2 months) were recorded. Age at follow-up was 55.2 ± 9.9 years.
resultsThe absolute varus-valgus deviation from the neutral mechanical leg axis was determined at 5.1° ± 5.1° preoperatively and 2.1° ± 1.4° postoperatively. No intraoperative complications or problems with the navigation system were observed. At latest follow-up, no component loosening was detected. Based on the Knee Society Score, a knee score of 64.9 ± 17.7 points and a function score of 67.2 ± 27.3 points were achieved.
conclusionsEncouraging short-term clinical and radiological results with the computer-navigated implantation of the modular rotating-hinge EnduRo knee arthroplasty system were found in both primary and revision surgery. The navigation facilitated the reconstruction of the leg axis, implant positioning and the restoration of the joint line. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
