Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty (R-TKA)

Prepared by Dr. Kayahan KARAYTUG Overview Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (R-TKA) has gained widespread adoption in recent years, offering enhanced precision in implant positioning, alignment, and soft tissue management. By integrating advanced imaging, real-time intraoperative feedback, and data-driven planning, robotic systems aim to reproduce patient-specific knee anatomy while minimizing surgical variability and intraoperative trauma. Preoperative…

Ligament Balancing in TKA

Prepared by Dr. Sefa Giray BATIBAY • The basic aim is to get both extension and flexion gaps rectangular, equal and balanced. This balanced tension is important for implant stability and long-term survival.• Two popular knee replacement techniques currently practiced are: “measured resection” which depends on tibial and femoral bone cuts through resection guide and…

Robotic Assisted UKA

Prepared by Dr. Kayahan KARAYTUG Robotic unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (R-UKA) is an evolution of traditional unicompartmental knee replacement, developed to improve component accuracy, reduce outliers, and enhance short-term recovery. It is indicated for isolated medial or lateral compartment osteoarthritis (Kellgren–Lawrence grade IV) when the remaining compartments are intact.💡 Approximately 20% of knee OA cases are…
