Surgeon Physiologic Stress

This study aims to compare the physiologic stress experienced by the surgeon during unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) performed using a manual technique versus a computer-assisted technique. Surgeon physiologic parameters, including energy expenditure, heart rate, heart rate variability, and minute ventilation, will be measured intraoperatively using a wearable monitoring device (Hexoskin). The study seeks to determine whether computer-assisted surgery influences surgeon workload compared to the conventional manual approach.
