Robotic-assisted TKA appears to reduce the number of mechanical axis alignment outliers without any differences in clinical scores, complications and survival rates when compared to conventional manual techniques.Keyphrases: conventional, robot assisted, total knee arthroplasty In: Wei Tian and Ferdinando Rodriguez Y Baena (editors).
