Abstract
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (r-TKA) can reportedly achieve more accurate implant positioning than conventional total knee arthroplasty (c-TKA), although its learning curve is controversial. Moreover, few studies have investigated r-TKA in Asians, who have different anatomical characteristics. This study aimed to determine the learning curve for r-TKA and compare implant positions between r-TKA and c-TKA according to the learning curve in Asian patients.
