Introduction

The purpose of this study is to compare total and rate of caloric energy expenditure between conventional and robotic-arm assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between a high volume “veteran” surgeon (HV) and a lower volume, less experienced surgeon (LV).

Methods

Two specialized arthroplasty surgeons wore a biometric-enabled shirt and energy expenditure outcomes were measured (total caloric expenditure, kilocalories per minute, heart rate variability, and surgical duration) during 35 conventional (CTKA) and 29 robotic primary total knee arthroplasty (RTKA) procedures.
