Predictive Gap-balancing Reduces the Extent of Soft-tissue Adjustment Required After Bony Resection in Robot-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty—A Comparison With Simulated Measured Resection

Predictive Gap-balancing Reduces the Extent of Soft-tissue Adjustment Required After Bony Resection in Robot-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty—A Comparison With Simulated Measured Resection

Background: To understand the extent and frequency of soft-tissue adjustment required to achieve mediolateral (ML) balance in measured resection (MR) vs gap-balancing (GB) total knee arthroplasty, this study compared ML balance and joint laxity throughout flexion between the 2 techniques. The precis...
