This is another interesting study looking at the risk of revision surgery after knee #arthroplasty. Our patients will appreciate such clarity of communication about risk of revision.

Patients undergoing robotic-arm assisted THA had a greater hip-specific functional outcome when compared to manual THA, which may be related to improved component positioning and restoration of leg length.
