Modern robotics platform associated with reduced 90-day complications in hospital setting.

Background: Early complications in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) associated with modern robotics platforms integrated with digital balancing technology have not been investigated.

Objective: The objective was to compare 90-day complication rates between a manual technique and a modern robotic-assisted ligament balancing TKA platform.

Methods: 895 primary TKA procedures from a single surgeon were retrospectively reviewed (614 manual TKA, 281 using a modern robotics platform with an integrated digitally controlled ligament balancing device).
