Abstract

Total knee arthroplasty is the answer if all conservative measures fail to decrease pain, stiffness, improve knee joint range of motion and restore the functional status of the patients with severe knee joint osteoarthritis. Most commonly Knee joint flexion-deformity, malalignment, abnormal gait patterns are the consequences following knee joint osteoarthritic-conditions. Thus, creating a optimal knee joint mechanical alignment is a primary requirement to get pain relief, decrease joint-stiffness, improvise limited knee joint range of motion, correct deformities and regain functions which become restricted on account of knee osteoarthritis. To get appropriate knee joint mechanical axis, robotic surgery has been found as first line of management in connection with total knee arthroplasty surgery. This robotic-assisted approach play significant role in getting most favorable and satisfactory outcomes in light of total knee arthroplasty. Extensive literature search made in this current review shows that this surgical technology is highly accurate and efficient compare to all others advanced surgical technologies such as computer navigation, sensor based, artificial intelligence based, imaging techniques and conventional techniques.
