Description

Zakareya Gamie and five co-authors wrote a 2024 study on the accuracy of a robotic system for knee replacement surgery. The ROSA robot helps surgeons cut bone to planned thicknesses. This study tested its imageless mode, which works without pre-operative scans, in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis.

One surgeon treated 44 patients between June 2023 and January 2024. Caliper checks compared planned and actual cuts at the thigh bone, shin bone, and back of the kneecap joint. Average gaps ran from about 0.67 to 1.1 millimeters across the six sites. Some gaps reached statistical significance but stayed small in absolute terms. The authors conclude the system hits planned resection thickness with high accuracy. Results apply only to this mode and patient group.
