Technologies in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a very impelling treatment for severe osteoarthritis. But, prosthesis longevity along with clinical and functional outcome of patients are intricately related to proper alignment and position of the prosthesis and how perfectly the artificial joint can mimic the native knee anatomy and kinematics. To minimize outliers and improve accuracy, precision and patients’ outcome, promising new technologies have been developed in knee arthroplasty. TKA is advancing by leaps and bounds with the advent and introduction and application of technologies in its domain. The aim of this article is to put up and brief about the technologies in TKA, their concepts, advantages, and limitations.
