Does computer navigation system really improve early clinical outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction? A meta-analysis and systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Inaccurate tunnel placement is an important cause of failure in conventional anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Controversy currently exists over the usefulness of computer-assisted navigation systems in addressing this problem. Five randomized or quasi-randomized, controlled trials co...

      ab: Inaccurate tunnel placement is an important cause of failure in conventional anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Controversy currently exists over the usefulness of computer-assisted navigation systems in addressing this problem. Five randomized or quasi-randomized, controlled trials comparing computer-navigated versus conventional technique in ACL reconstructions until December 1, 2009 were identified through a systematical database search. The clinical outcomes of the trials were analyzed by Lachman test, pivot-shift test, International Knee Documentation Committee knee score, Lysholm score, and Tegner score. Mean difference or risk ratio with 95% confidence interval was calculated using a fixed-effects or random-effects model. Heterogeneity across the studies was also assessed. We found that the use of computer-assisted navigation systems led to additional operative time (8-17min). No significant differences between computer-navigated and conventional groups were found in terms of knee stability and functional assessment during short-term follow-up. The role of computer-assisted navigation systems on clinical performance and longevity needs further investigation in large sample, long-term randomized trials.
