Severe osteoarthritis can be effectively treated
with a total knee replacement (TKR), often referred to as
an arthroplasty. Even though TKR patients have good
survival rates, up to 20% of them are nevertheless
unhappy. Current improvements in knee arthroplasty
technology exhibit promise & may boost functional
results. This study sought to present some unique TKR
technologies, their current ideas, merits, & limitations.
Whilst implant placement & limb positioning may be
improved with patient-specific equipment, functional
results are unchanged. The sensors must attempt to offer
accurate data on equilibrium of ligaments during TKR.
The accelerometers are sophisticated instruments
created to enhance TKA positioning. However, their
benefits remain still debatable. The robotic-assisted (RA)
systems provide an exact & repeatable bone preparation
owing to a robotic interface having a 3D surgical
planning, based on preoperative 3D imaging or not. The
new technologies in TKA are highly appealing & have
continually progressed. Future orthopaedic technology
will increasingly serve as a beneficial tool for surgeons
performing patient-specific arthroplasty with patientspecific positioning goals.
