Femoral and Patellar Radiographic Metrics Are Improved With Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although robotic technology enhanced surgery does not directly address the patella, its associated improvement in knee reconstruction and flexion balance may result in improved patellar function and radiographs. In this retrospective observational analysis, we aimed to 1) compare patellar and femoral radiographic metrics between robotic-assisted and conventional total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA and C-TKA) and 2) assess the correlation between these radiographic metrics and postoperative patient-reported outcomes in the RA-TKA cohort.

Methods

Fifty RA-TKAs were compared with 50 C-TKAs at an average 2.8 years of follow-up. Age, gender, body mass index, type of arthritis, preoperative range of motion, preoperative pain localization, type of implant, precut patellar th
