Robotic Navigation in Minimally Invasive Total Knee Arthroplasty: An Updated Open-Source Systematic Review of Precision, Recovery and Functional Outcomes

Background

Robotic assistance and minimally invasive exposure are distinct components of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Improved implant positioning cannot, by itself, establish less surgical trauma or better patient-reported recovery. This review examined their comparative effects while separating directly relevant limited-exposure studies from contextual allocated trials.
