New research on Surgery -Arthroplasty is the subject of a report. According to news originating from Detroit, United States, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Robotic-assisted devices hel p provide precise component positioning in conversion of unicompartmental knee a rthroplasty (UKA) to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A few studies offer surgical techniques for CT-based roboticassisted conversion of UKA to TKA, however no s tudies to date detail this procedure utilizing a non-CT based robotic assisted d evice." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Wayne State Uni versity School of Medicine, "This paper introduces a novel technique employing a non-CT based robotic assisted device (ROSA? Knee System, Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN) for converting UKA to TKA with a focus on its efficacy in gap balancing. We present three patients (ages 46 to 66) who were evaluated for conversion of UKA to TKA for aseptic loosening, stress fracture, and progressive osteoarthritis. Each patient underwent roboticassisted conversion to TKA. Postoperative assessm ents at 6 months revealed improved pain, function, and radiographic stability. P reoperative planning included biplanar long leg radiographs to determine the ana tomic and mechanical axis of the leg. After arthrotomy with a standard medial pa rapatellar approach, infrared reflectors were pinned into the femur and tibia, f ollowed by topographical mapping of the knee with the UKA in-situ. The intraoper ative software was utilized to evaluate flexion and extension balancing and plan bony resections. Then, the robotic arm guided placement of the femoral and tibi al guide pins and the UKA components were removed. After bony resection of the d istal femur and proximal tibia, the intraoperative software was used to reassess the extension gap, and plan posterior condylar resection to have the flexion ga p match the extension gap."
