In the researchers' words
Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was introduced to attempt to enhance the precision of bone preparation, component alignment and ultimately improve clinical results and survivorship of TKA. Although several published data suggest that bone preparation, and knee component alignment were improved by using robotic assistance, there is no high-quality evidence from randomized trials at long-term of which investigators are aware evaluating whether the improved bone preparation and knee component alignment improved clinical function or longevity of the TKA.
