Abstract

Severe varus deformity of the knee is a complex condition that is managed with scrupulous pre-operative planning and intraoperative technique, more so in cardiac-risk patients. Robotic-assisted total knee replacement (TKR) has emerged as an exciting option for improving precision and better outcomes in complex cases. The authors report a case of Robotic-assisted TKR in a 65-year-old patient suffering from severe varus deformity of the knee and multiple significant cardiac comorbidities.
Keywords: Robotic assisted TKR, Severe varus deformity, Cardiac risk
