Observational study finds that preoperative flexion contracture affects planned bone resections in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty, suggesting implications for surgical outcomes.
With robotic-assisted TKA, bone resections can be guided by collateral ligament tension in flexion and extension. Our data suggest that surgeons can follow this strategy and successfully address flexion contractures with very small increases in resection magnitudes, which may help to maintain the joint line.
