Article Synopsis
- Computer- and robotic-assisted total knee replacement (RA-TKA) procedures improve implant accuracy and limb alignment, but surgeons often hesitate due to perceived extra time needed for these processes.
- A study involving 30 patients each for conventional (C-TKA) and RA-TKA procedures was conducted to compare the time spent on specific steps during surgery.
- Results indicated that the time taken for key steps was similar between RA-TKA (25.03 minutes) and C-TKA (24.77 minutes), showing RA-TKA does not require more time than conventional methods.*
Background: Use of semi-active and active robotic system for performing Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is increasing. The novel fully automated active robotic system performs milling of the bone surfaces with a high speed burr. The aim of the current study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the system in robotic assisted TKA (RA-TKA).
