Robot-Assisted Versus Conventional Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction: A Prospective Comparative Study

This intervention involves the use of a customized robotic surgical system to assist in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The system integrates preoperative planning with CT/MRI fusion imaging, intraoperative surgical guidance for femoral and tibial tunnel creation, and real-time biomechanical evaluation. The robot provides enhanced precision in tunnel positioning and graft placement compared to conventional techniques.

This intervention uses standard arthroscopic techniques for ACL reconstruction without robotic assistance. Tunnel positions are determined manually using surgical landmarks and guides. Graft placement, tensioning, and isometry assessment are performed by the surgeon using conventional methods.
