Background The selection of properly sized implants is essential to achieve a well-balanced knee and favorable clinical outcomes following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). There is limited evidence in the literature regarding the effectiveness of robotic-assisted technology (RA-TKA) without imaging in accurately predicting implant sizes. Our aim was to provide an evidence-based assessment of this technology's accuracy in selecting appropriate implant sizes during robotic-assisted, image-free TKA.

The study aims to assess if preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans and planning software reduce soft tissue release. Methodology A retrospective analysis was conducted for the first 100 consecutive robotic-assisted (RA) TKA (RA-TKA) patients between March 2022 and May 2023.
