Intraoperative patellar tracking assessment during image-based robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty: technical note and reliability study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Restoration of the anterior knee compartment is increasingly studied with the development of personalized surgery. However, evaluating the patellar tracking during the surgery is still subjective and at the surgeon's discretion. This study aimed 1) to describe the assessment of the patellar tracking during robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA), 2) to describe a new measurement technique for evaluating the evolution of this patellar tracking, and 3) to assess its reliability and repeatability.

Method

This monocentric study assessed the evolution of patellar tracking for 20 robotic-assisted TKA. The sharp probe was used to perform patellar tracking in all the arcs of knee flexion before and after the bone cuts. The patella positioning was recorded every 1
