Intraoperative and recovery/discharge data on 70 patients (72 knees) from a multicenter, consecutive series were analyzed. The patients were grouped into challenging and standard case groups according to the criteria of age, BMI, and degree of deformity. Despite a general trend observed between the challenging and standard cases, the two groups did not exhibit significant differences in terms of surgical time, blood loss, recovery and time to discharge. The data demonstrated consistent perioperative results by CAOS TKA irrespective of patient conditions.Keyphrases: clinical case series, computer assisted orthopaedic surgery, patient condition, perioperative outcome, total knee arthroplast In: Wei Tian and Ferdinando Rodriguez Y Baena (editors).
