Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty in Obese Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Robotic-assisted systems have gained popularity in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to evaluate operative characteristics and radiographic outcomes of obese patients undergoing robotic-assisted TKA.

Methods

A retrospective review of consecutive cases performed by a single surgeon was performed from January 1, 2016, to January 31, 2022. Adult patients with body mass index ≥35 kg/m² who underwent primary TKA using a computed tomography-assisted robotic system were compared to patients who underwent primary TKA using conventional instrumentation. Demographics, preoperative and postoperative radiographic measurements, and intraoperative outcomes were compared between cohorts. In total, 119 patients were identified, 60 in the robo
