Abstract

BACKGROUND: Computer navigation increases reproducibility compared to non-navigated total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Robotics navigation is a branch of computer navigation technology that might further improve accuracy of implant placement. The aim of this study is to assess the accuracy achieved in TKA with a robotic navigation system.
