Robotic and Sensor-Assisted Technologies in Knee Arthroplasty

The advancements in knee arthroplasty over the last several decades have focused on implant material and design. Recently, the focus on improved surgical technique to maximize patient outcomes and implant longevity has become integrated into the surgeons’ workflow. Robotics, and advanced sensor technologies, enable precise surgical techniques with reproducible surgical outcomes. The ability to provide surgeons with dynamic intra-operative feedback, coupled with a defined algorithmic approach in their operative execution, enables surgeons of all expertise and experience to achieve their surgical plan in an efficient manner.
