ABSTRACT

Background: Manual total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been documented several times for their safety and complications data. In contrast, there is a limited evidence-based analysis for safety and complications of autonomous robotic-assisted (RA)-TKA. This study aimed to evaluate the safety features and intra-operative surgical complications associated with the use of Cuvis Joint™ autonomous robotic system for TKA. Methods: The study included 500 consecutive patients who underwent TKA using the Cuvis Joint™ autonomous robotic system from November 2020 to November 2021. All surgeries were performed by a senior surgeon. Patients in whom the surgery was abandoned midway due to technical errors, were excluded from the analysis. In case of unilateral abandonment of the robotic arm during a bilateral RA-TKA, data of the side on which the surgery was completed with robotic assistance was recorded. Results: There was no incidence of neurological injury, vascular injury, extensor mechanism disruption, or medial collateral ligament injury. There was one case of superficial abrasion of the patellar tendon; however, it did not require any intervention. There were no cases of midway abandonment due to threatened soft tissue injury. There was no intra-operative pin loosening or stress-related fractures at the pin sites. There was one case of Steinmann pin breakage and another case of drill bit breakage, which were removed without any damage to the bone. Conclusion: The Cuvis Joint™ autonomous robotic system for TKA is safe with no significant intra-operative complications.
