In this short module, we will be exploring the role of enabling technologies in total knee arthroplasty, how navigation, patient specific instruments or robotics, in providing experts experience and feedback, outcomes and evidence review.
The experts debate the advantages, technological capabilities, and cost implications of using robotics, Patient Specific Instruments (PSI) and digital ecosystems in knee arthroplasty, and how they influence outcomes. In the context of clinical evidence, the faculty discuss how enabling technologies help accuracy, alignment, range of motion, and gap balancing.
