ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Robotic arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA) has a number of potential advantages. Therefore, in order to more comprehensively assess this technology, we reviewed the (1) accuracy and precision; (2) soft-tissue protection; (3) patient satisfaction; (4) learning curve; and (5) its other potential benefits.METHODS:
A literature review was conducted using PubMed search database for studies reporting clinical outcomes, cadaver results, radiographic outcomes, surgeon experience, and robotic accuracy. Forty articles were included for the final analysis.RESULTS:
Advantages of RATKA may include greater component accuracy and precision, soft-tissue protection, increased patient satisfaction, a short learning curve, optimal ergonomic design, and less surgeon and surgical team fatigue. The aforementioned advantages might help improve clinical, surgical, and patient-reported outcomes.CONCLUSION:
Although there are a number of studies that highlight the potential advantages of RATKA, most of these studies report of short-term outcomes. It is hoped that longer term studies will continue to support the use of this technology in providing higher patient satisfaction and other clinical outcomes.Palabras clave
