Robot-assisted knee arthroplasty is a knee replacement procedure facilitated by computerised robots.
Initially the surgeon uses pre-operative 3-D imaging to plan a knee replacement procedure that conforms to the patient's own anatomy, and then during the operation a computerised robotic arm uses this information to guide the saw cuts through the bone
