Background: Robotic arm assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) aims to improve accuracy in bone resection, implant positioning, and joint alignment compared to manual TKA (M-TKA). However, the learning curve of RA-TKA can disrupt operating room efficiency, increase complications, and raise costs. This study examines the operative time learning curve of RA-TKA using a single robotic system.
Methods: The study analyzed the first 80 RA-TKA and the last 80 M-TKA cases performed by a single surgeon using the VELYS robotic system after transitioning from M-TKA. Cases were subdivided into groups of 20 and compared to M-TKA cases. A cumulative summation analysis identified the learning curve phases.
Results: Three phases were identified: Phase 1 (initial learning, cases 1-9), Phase 2 (increased competence, plateau from cases 10-52), and Phase 3 (post-learning, optimized performance from cases 53-80). Mean surgical time for RA-TKA was 42.4 ± 8.7 minutes, compared to 35.3 ± 7.0 minutes for M-TKA ( < .001). Early RA-TKA cases (1-20) had significantly longer times than late RA-TKA cases (61-80) and M-TKA cases ( < .05). Late RA-TKA times were comparable to M-TKA ( = .06).
Conclusions: RA-TKA is an enabling surgical tool that can be integrated efficiently into a surgical workflow with a rapid learning curve of 9 cases.

Background Deep learning (DL) methods can improve accelerated MRI but require validation against an independent reference standard to ensure robustness and accuracy. Purpose To validate the diagnostic performance of twofold-simultaneous-multislice (SMSx2) twofold-parallel-imaging (PIx2)-accelerated DL superresolution MRI in the knee against conventional SMSx2-PIx2-accelerated MRI using arthroscopy as the reference standard. Materials and Methods Adults with painful knee conditions were prospectively enrolled from December 2021 to October 2022.

Objective: We aimed to explore the application value of unsupervised machine learning in identifying acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) after extracorporeal circulation for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).
Methods: Patients who underwent extracorporeal circulation for ATAAD at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2016 to January 2021 were included. Unsupervised machine learning algorithm was used to stratify patients into different phenogroups according to the similarity of their clinical features and laboratory test results.
Purpose: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) has gained popularity for its potential ability to improve surgical precision and patient outcomes, despite concerns about its long learning curve and increased operative times. The aim of this study is to evaluate the learning curve of the ROSA® Knee System, the relationship between each phase of the learning curve and the accuracy of the robotic system in femoral component size and knee alignment prediction.
Methods: A single surgeon retrospective analysis of total operative time (TOT) and total robotic time was conducted.
