Abstract

Background: Although knee arthroplasty represents a very successful treatment for osteoarthritis or joint destruction, a relevant number of patients is still not completely satisfied with the outcome. Higher satisfaction and faster rehabilitation seem to be achievable through patient-individualized alignment of the prosthesis and especially through reproducible robotic-assisted implantation.

Importance Of Robotics: The topic of robotics in orthopedics and especially in knee endoprosthesis is not new and began in the 1990s with the Robodoc system. The resurgence of robotics with new systems can be referred to as an innovation in the orthopedic operating room. Interest in this has risen significantly, not only among surgeons, but especially among patients, primarily because it seems to offer better joint function and patient satisfaction, as well as faster rehabilitation.
