Robotic assisted TKA may allow for smaller polyethylene liner sizes compared to manual TKA with simultaneous removal of Hardware.

ABSTRACT: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with hardware around the knee is a challenge to preserve bone while boney landmarks are distorted. Robotic assisted (RA) TKA may assist in simultaneous hardware removal and TKA due to preoperative planning and retention of bone. The aim of this study is to identify if there are differences in component fixation, component constraint and functional outcomes dependent during simultaneous removal of hardware (ROH) around the knee and TKA comparing RA-TKA to manual. A retrospective chart review was performed on patients undergoing simultaneous ROH and TKA over a 10-year period at a single institution. Patients were required to have at least 6 months of follow up. Data extracted included surgical technique, demographics, range of motion (ROM) at 1 year, complicatio
