Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Robotics in Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Robotic-assisted surgery is advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
  • Evaluating new robotic systems is crucial for surgical innovation.
  • The HURWA system represents a novel approach to TKA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the accuracy of the HURWA robotic-assisted TKA system.
  • To evaluate the safety of the HURWA system in a preclinical model.
  • To compare robotic-assisted bone preparation with preoperative surgical plans.

Main Methods:

  • Ten male small-tailed Han sheep underwent robotic-assisted TKA.
  • Computed tomography (CT) scans were used for pre- and post-bone resection imaging.
  • Three-dimensional cutting errors between planned and actual bone preparation were measured.

Main Results:

  • High overall accuracy was achieved for femur (1.93°) and tibia (1.26°-1.68°) bone preparation.
  • Mean gap distances for bone cuts ranged from 0.12 mm to 0.47 mm.
  • No intraoperative complications, including fractures or significant bleeding, were reported.

Conclusions:

  • The HURWA robotic-assisted TKA system is accurate for bone preparation.
  • The system demonstrated a favorable safety profile in the sheep model.
  • This robotic system shows potential as a reliable tool for TKA surgery.
