What is Incidence of soft tissue releases in robotic assisted cementless TKA with mechanical alignment and flexion gap balancing about?

## Background To ensure the success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), precise bone cuts and a well-balanced soft tissue envelope are crucial. Soft tissue release may be necessary, subject to various factors. Therefore, documenting the type, frequency, and necessity of soft tissue releases can establish a benchmark for comparing different alignment techniques and philosophies and evaluating their outcomes. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that robotic-assisted knee surgery requires minimal soft tissue release. ## Methods We prospectively documented and retrospectively reviewed the soft tissue releases employed in securing ligament balance in the first 175 patients who received robotic-assisted TKAs at Nepean Hospital. ROSA was utilized in all surgeries with the aim of restoring mechanical coronal alignment, with a flexion gap balancing technique. Surgeries were performed between December 2019 to August 2021 by a single surgeon who used a standard medial parapatellar approach without a tourniquet, and the cementless persona prosthesis. All patients were followed up for a minimum of 6 months post-surgery. Soft tissue releases included any form of medial release for varus k
