Concepts and techniques of a new robotically assisted technique for total knee arthroplasty: the ROSA knee system

The ROSA (Robotic Surgical Assistant) Knee system (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN) for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be considered as collaborative robotics, where the surgeon remains in charge of the procedure and collaborates with a smart robotic tool, to perform the surgery with a high accuracy and reproducibility. The aim was to describe: (1) its concept and surgical technique; (2) its advantages and potential limits; (3) the early experience with this system
