Comparative Outcomes Between Imageless Robotic-assisted and Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty

Robotic TKA uses computer software to convert anatomical information into a virtual patient-specific 3D reconstruction of the knee joint.The surgeon uses this virtual model to plan optimal bone resection, implant positioning, bone coverage, and limb alignment based on the patient's unique anatomy.

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a widespread orthopaedic procedure for restoring functionality and minimizing pain due to end stage osteoarthritis. Conventional TKA, well-accepted as the standard of care, is performed with manual instrumentation guided by intramedullary or extramedullary alignment rods, as well as rotational guides that are not patient-specific.
