Advantages and disadvantages of the use of the image-based robotic system in total knee arthroplasty in patients with previous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Precise detection of residual hardware | Radiation exposure (preoperative CT) |
| Targeted hardware management | Use of additional implants (pins) that could lead to system-specific complications (fractures, infections) |
| Individualized functional alignment (FA) | High cost |
| Improved soft tissue balance | Learning curve |
| Dynamic evaluation of the anterior compartment | Limited long-term data |
| Bone preservation | Closed implant system (compatible only with the manufacturer’s specific implant e.g., Triathlon from Stryker) |
| Improved implant positioning accuracy | Infrastructure and resource dependency (not available in every hospital) |
