Background:
We investigated the accuracy of targeted resection thickness in patients undergoing primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) using the ROSA robotic system.
Methods:
Calliper measurements of the distal femur (DF), proximal tibia (PT), and posterior condyles (PC) were taken in 44 patients from June 2023 to January 2024.
Results:
Planned and actual resection depth difference was 0.67 mm ± 0.6 mm (mean ± SD) (p = 0.217) and 0.94 mm ± 1.15 mm (p = 0.4) for medial and lateral DF, 0.93 mm ± 0.81 mm (p = 0.001) and 0.89 mm ± 0.8 mm (p = 0.008) for medial and lateral PT, and 1.1 mm ± 0.97 mm (p = 0.001) and 1.04 mm ± 0.79 mm (p = 0.001) for medial and lateral PC, respectively.
Conclusion:
The ROSA robotic system can achieve a high degree of accuracy for planned resection thickness. Results are valid only for the imageless ROSA TKA in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis.
