Trying to re-invent the wheel and not learning from the poor results of this decades ago. Can be a difficult group to treat though

A new study shows graft failure was over 10 times higher in adolescents with ACL repair with suture ligament augmentation compared to quadriceps tendon–patellar bone autograft. In the repair group almost half failed in the first 3 years after surgery: https://t.co/zEYt58JPSo

The uptake is driven far too much by commercial and marketing factors. Not against robots but a few centres should do proper research first, before any wild claims #kneesurgery #kneespecialists

[Yorkshire Knee Clinic (YKC) @yorkskneeclinic]

Robots and #KneeSurgery? At last week’s meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons attended by @nicklondonknee, there were concerns that the potential advantages of robotics were being exaggerated without studies to prove them.

[Andrew Porteous @AndrewJPorteous]

Great implant and great outcome data on national registries
