    There is no long-term data on the results and benefits of robotic total knee replacement since it is still relatively new. There is also a lack of conclusive data to suggest it is better than traditional knee replacement in terms of post-operative function and longevity of prosthesis.

    However, the limited clinical data available for robotic total knee replacement is promising. Benefits include the following:

    • More precise incisions

    • Increased accuracy of placement and alignment of implants

    • Less tissue removal

    • Preservation of healthy tissue and bone

    • Less pain and quicker recovery than traditional total knee replacement

    • Hospital stay may be reduced

    • Quicker return to activities of daily living
