Comparison of Polyethylene Thickness and Constraint in Traditional and Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty
Robotic-assisted TKA was associated with significantly thinner polyethylene inserts compared to manual TKA, suggesting more precise, bone-sparing femoral and tibial cuts. These findings may support the use of robotic-assisted techniques by orthopedic surgeons seeking to optimize implant positioning and longevity.
