Description
Bryan Bertot and co-authors report in 2026 on 500 robot-assisted knee replacements aligned with a personalised technique called inverse kinematic alignment. Getting leg alignment right matters, since knees left far off target wear poorly and work badly. All operations at their centre between 2020 and 2022 used the Stryker MAKO robotic system, and patients were checked for a full year.
Of 487 knees with complete data, only 2.05 percent drifted more than three degrees from their immediate post-surgery target by twelve months. Average alignment shifted just 1.3 degrees over that year. Function scores and bending range, averaging 127 degrees of flexion, showed good recovery. Infection affected 1.2 percent of patients in this observational series.
