No difference in patella mobility between conventional mechanically aligned and robotic‐assisted functionally aligned total knee arthroplasty

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Robotic‐assisted (RA) surgery allows for higher accuracy in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and for better standardization of alignment concepts. It was hypothesized that the more personalized component placement in functional robotic‐assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA‐TKA) would show an impact on patella mobility and clinical outcome.
