Abstract

INTRODUCTION: When active robotic technologies for Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) were introduced over 20 years ago, broad usage of robotic technology was not felt to be needed as early data suggested no clear improvement in clinical outcomes compared to conventional techniques of implantation. Only recently has there been renewed enthusiasm for use of robotic technologies for implantation.
