About this trial
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.
