Popis: Abstract Background The reliability of robotic arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) has been previously reported. In this study, we evaluated the predictive accuracy of the RA-TKA system in determining the required bone resection and implant size preoperatively and its effect on intraoperative decision-making. Methods Data on the outcomes of RA-TKA procedures performed in our department were prospectively collected. A three-dimensional model of the femur, tibia, and fibula was reconstructed using standard computed tomography (CT) images. The model was used preoperatively to predict bone required resection for the femur and tibia and implant size. Intraoperatively, the images were registered to the local anatomy to create a patient-specific model for decision-making, including real-time measurement of the medial-to-lateral difference in the extension/flexion gap and TKA component alignment. Differences between predicted and real bone resections and implant size were evaluated, and the post-TKA mechanical axis of the lower limb and difference in medial-to-lateral flexion/extension gap were measured. Results The analysis was based on the data of 28 patients who underwent TKA to treat severe osteoarthritis. The RA-TKA system successfully predicted the femoral and tibial component within one implant size in 28/28 cases (100%). For the 168 bone resections performed, including both femoral and tibial cuts, the resection was within 1 mm of the predicted value in 120/168 (71%) of the cuts. The actual versus predicted bone resection was statistically different only for the lateral tibial plateau (p = 0.018). The medial-to-lateral gap difference was between − 1 and 1 mm, except in one case. The achieved lower limb alignment was accurate overall, with the alignment being within
