Common adjustments made in robotic total knee arthroplasty to achieve functional alignment and minimize soft tissue releases

This study outlines the common femoral and tibial resection adjustments made from default neutral mechanical alignment based on pre-operative HKA. The range of bony resection adjustments highlights the ability of robotics to accommodate variations in ligamentous integrity and preoperative alignment findings. Further research is needed to determine if these adjustments result in improved outcomes or longevity.

Abstract

This study outlines the common femoral and tibial resection adjustments made from default neutral mechanical alignment based on pre-operative HKA. The range of bony resection adjustments highlights the ability of robotics to accommodate variations in ligamentous integrity and preoperative alignment findings. Further research is needed to determine if these adjustments result in improved outcomes or longevity.
