Active Robotic Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA): Initial Experience with the TSolution One ® TKA System.

Area of Science:

• Orthopedic Surgery
• Robotics in Medicine
• Medical Technology

Background:

• Robotic assistance is increasingly explored to enhance total knee arthroplasty (TKA) outcomes.
• The TSolution One system offers an active robotic platform with CT-based planning for TKA.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe the operative technique and workflow of the TSolution One active robotic system for TKA.
• To assess the safety and effectiveness of this novel robotic system in a multi-center trial.

Main Methods:

• Utilized CT scans for patient-specific 3D modeling and preoperative planning.
• Employed an active robotic device for precise femoral and tibial bone cuts.
• Surgeons completed the procedure with standard surgical techniques after robotic assistance.

Main Results:

• The TSolution One system enables computer-assisted bone cuts for potentially more accurate implant placement.
• The active robotic system requires minimal surgeon intervention for bone preparation.
• The described technique integrates robotic assistance into the TKA workflow.

Conclusions:

• The TSolution One active robotic system represents a new technology for TKA, potentially improving surgical accuracy.
• This approach allows for precise bone cuts and optimal implant positioning based on patient anatomy.
• The study provides insights into optimizing safety and efficiency when introducing robotic technologies in TKA.
