Aim: The primary objective of this study is to determine the in-vivo accuracy and precision of a novel cut block positioning robotic arm for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: Seventy-seven patients underwent total knee arthroplasty with various workflows and alignment targets by three arthroplasty-trained surgeons with previous experience using the ROSA® Knee System. Accuracy and precision were determined by measuring the difference between various workflow time points, including the final pre-operative plan, validated resection angle, and post-operative radiographs. The mean difference between the measurements determined accuracy, and the standard deviation represented precision. Results: The accuracy and precision for all angles comparing the final planned resection and validated resection angles was 0.90° ± 0.76°. The proportion within 3° ranged from 97.9% to 100%. The accuracy and precision for all angles comparing the final intra-operative plan and post-operative radiographs was 1.95 ± 1.48°. The proportion of patients within 3° was 93.2%, 95.3%, 96.6%, and 71.4% for the distal femur, proximal tibia, femoral flexion, and tibial slope angles when the final intra-operative plan was compared to post-operative radiographs. No patients had a postoperative complication requiring revision at the final follow-up. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the ROSA Knee System has accurate and precise coronal plane resections with few outliers. However, the tibial slope demonstrated decreased accuracy and precision were measured on post-operative short-leg lateral radiographs with this platform.
