Implant placement parameters are associated with post operative dynamic varus and valgus knee angle in robotic assisted TKA.

ABSTRACT: In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), correcting or maintaining coronal knee alignment is essential for high patient function and satisfaction. However, coronal knee alignment achieved during surgery frequently changes with standing, possibly reflecting the change in knee loading and varus-valgus that occurs between non-weightbearing and weightbearing. Moreover, joint alignment also varies as the knee joint flexes and with dynamic activities. While studies have reported coronal knee alignment achieved intraoperatively during TKA surgery, they rarely trace back to the surgical choices and parameters that may predict longer-term knee alignment. Robotic-assisted TKA enables the delivery of a precise surgical plan including the surgical parameters that achieve the final position of the implants, t
