Handheld imageless robotic total knee arthroplasty improves accuracy and early clinical outcomes when compared with navigation
RATKA offers enhanced precision and improves early recovery compared to ABN, supporting its potential as a preferred technology for TKA. Its ability to optimize kinematic alignment may contribute to superior patient outcomes. Compared to ABN, RATKA provides a unique advantage by achieving greater accuracy in planned alignment, which may translate into improved functional recovery. Further research with larger cohorts is recommended to confirm these findings.
