Robotic total knee replacement (TKR) surgery has evolved over the years with the aim of improving the overall 80% satisfaction rate associated with TKR surgery. Proponents claim higher precision in executing the pre-operative plan which results in improved alignment and possibly better clinical outcomes. Opponents suggest longer operative times with potentially higher complications and no superiority in clinical outcomes alongside increased costs. This editorial will summarize where we currently stand and the future implications of using robotics in knee replacement surgery.
多年来,机器人全膝关节置换(TKR)手术不断发展,旨在提高与TKR手术相关的总体80%的满意率。支持者称,在执行术前计划时精度更高,这会改善对线情况,并可能带来更好的临床结果。反对者则认为手术时间更长,并发症可能更多,临床结果并无优势,同时成本增加。这篇社论将总结我们目前的状况以及在膝关节置换手术中使用机器人技术的未来影响。
