Abstract

As robotic total knee arthroplasty (TKA) adoption grows, the learning curve for new users remains a concern for both physicians and staff. Previous studies have reported on clinical outcomes for TKA with a novel implant-agnostic, handheld, wireless robotic TKA system (rTKA). This study investigates the rTKA adoption learning curve relevant to multiple clinical stakeholders. This multicenter, multi…
