Abstract

Total knee arthroplasty is already one of the most successful procedures in orthopedics with high survival rates and excellent post-operative outcomes. Despite these satisfying results, robotic-guided arthroplasty is slowly but surely infiltrating both worldwide and domestic. In Steinfeld et al.'s review "Robotic Total Knee Arthroplasty" the authors navigate through the pros and cons of robotic-guided total knee arthroplasty and try to answer the question: Robotics, why now?
