Representative work: A pH neutral bioactive glass (PSC) coated 3D-printed porous Ti6Al4V scaffold using a fast in situ sol–gel method can improve osteogenesis, bone ingrowth, and osseointegration Purpose: Various assistive techniques, such as conventional cutting instruments (CON), computer-assisted navigation systems (CAS), patient-specific instruments (PSI) and robot-assisted systems (RAS), have been developed and applied in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In this study, we aimed to assess the relative accuracy and efficacy of several assistive techniques for TKA through a network meta-analysis (NMA) based on multiple published randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: The PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were searched for RCTs to conduct this NMA from inception to 1 January 2024. We combined direct and indirect comparisons using a Bayesian NMA framework to assess a
