Abstract

Improvements in surgical techniques and technologies have increased the accuracy and precision of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Mechanical guides, computer-assisted navigation, and robotic surgery have all been developed to increase component accuracy and alignment. Accelerometer- and gyroscope-based instruments are a technologic advance that has improved the reproducibility and accuracy of component placement that can easily be implemented into the surgical procedure.
