Low rate of iatrogenic complications during unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with two semiautonomous robotic systems

Intraoperative complications due to utilization of robotic assistance during unicompartmental knee arthroplasty have not been reported. While inadvertent soft tissue injury has been reported during total knee and hip arthroplasty with autonomous style robotic systems, the incidence of these problems with semiautonomous (i.e. surgeon-driven) systems is unknown.
