What is the current consensus among orthopaedic surgeons in South Africa regarding robotic-assisted surgery in total joint arthroplasty?

SA Orthopaedic Journal | 2026 | Richard P Almeida, Nkhodiseni Sikhauli, Lipalo Mokete, Allan Seiketto

BACKGROUND: Total joint arthroplasty (TJA), including total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA), are successful orthopaedic procedures, with survivorship reported at 98% at ten years and 95% at 20 years. The development of robotic-assisted total joint arthroplasty (RA-TJA) is one example of the continual evolution in technology in an attempt to improve thes...

KNEE KINEMATICS DURING LAXITY TESTING FOLLOWING ROBOTIC-ASSISTED AND CONVENTIONAL MECHANICAL TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT

Orthopaedic Proceedings | 2025 | E. Donnelly, M. Richards, S. Vakili, S. MacDonald

Robotic-assisted surgery has become an increasingly attractive option for orthopaedic surgeries, specifically in its use for total knee replacement (TKR). Despite the allure, characterization of the outcomes of robotic-assisted surgery against conventional manual methods remains to be investigated. Therefore, this study aims to characterize kinematics of TKR knees following rob...

Building a successful robotic-arm assisted orthopedic surgery program

Journal of Orthopaedic Experience & Innovation | 2024 | Nanne P Kort, Peter Pilot

Building a successful robotics team is a long journey with much effort before the first surgery. It starts with sound business development and, in case of acquiring a system, an implementation plan, to make it a success. The pathway to a successful Robotics program is much more than choosing the desired robotic arm-assisted surgery (RAS) brand. Success also depends on the speci...

Total Hip Arthroplasty in Ochronotic Arthropathy: A Case Report

Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports | 2023 | Sujoy Bhattacharjee, Akhil Ahlawat, Avijeet Prasad, Rajib Kumar Das

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure used to treat various hip conditions. However, patients with ochronotic arthropathy, a rare genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of homogentisic acid, are at a higher risk of post-surgical dislocation and instability due to poor bone quality and joint degeneration. Case Report: This case stu...

Comparison of Iatrogenic Soft Tissue Trauma in Robotic-Assisted versus Manual Partial Knee Arthroplasty

Surgical Technology Online | 2021 | Emily Hampp, Laura Scholl, Ahmad Faizan, Nipun Sodhi

Partial knee arthroplasty (PKA) is performed to treat end-stage osteoarthritis in a single compartment. There are minimal data characterizing soft-tissue injuries for PKA with robotic and manual techniques. This cadaver study compared the extent of soft-tissue trauma sustained through robotic-arm assisted PKA (RPKA) and manual PKA (MPKA). Five surgeons prepared 24 cadaveric kne...
