What this Trial Is About
The goal of this observational study is to learn about patients' recoveries after receiving total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does robotic-assisted TKA have improved perceived recovery when compared to conventional TKA? Does robotic-assisted TKA lead to improved functional recovery when compared to conventional TKA? Researchers will compare if robotic-assisted versus conventional procedures lead to different recovery speeds. Participants will answer questionnaires and undergo physical therapy testing before and at several timepoints after their procedure.
