Preoperative flexion contracture influences magnitude of planned resections in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty

Key Points

• To investigate how preoperative flexion contractures influence the magnitude of bone resections during robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty.
• Analyzed data from robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty procedures.
• Assessed the relationship between flexion contracture and collateral ligament tension.
• Monitored adjustments in bone resection magnitudes.
• Surgeons successfully addressed flexion contractures with minimal increases in bone resection size.
• Maintaining the joint line was effectively achieved despite contractures.
• Collaboration between flexion and extension bone guidance showed positive impact on outcomes.
