Abstract

Total knee arthroplasty has been around for decades and serves as a very successful procedure to alleviate pain and restore function in a knee with advanced degenerative joint disease. Over the years, there have been many advancements in surgical technique and even more so in implant design. One of the more recent technological breakthroughs in total knee arthroplasty is the use of a robotic assisted arm for enhanced preoperative planning and intra-operative guidance with dynamic joint balancing and bone preparation. This video outlines the operative technique used by the primary author in performing a posterior stabilizing total knee arthroplasty in a varus deformity degenerative knee using Mako robotic assistance.
