Over the last three decades surgical technologies have been introduced in total hip and total knee arthroplasty in order to improve clinical outcomes and improve longevity of the implants. Now, for the first time, we have intraoperative implant and soft tissue data to compare with clinical outcomes. This book is designed to deliver surgical techniques using robotic-assisted technology in primary total hip and knee partial and total arthroplasty focusing on preoperative and intraoperative surgical planning. Different preoperative planning and surgical strategies are described by high experienced surgeons aiming to teach how robotic-assisted surgery can be fully compatible with the surgeon’s decision making process. A chapter has been dedicated also to clinical and economical evidence on robotic-armed TJA. This book is just the beginning of a challenging and fascinating journey. It aims to teach and educate the residents, fellows and surgeons on how to fulfill clinical and surgical targets in treating lower limb deformities and articular OA changes, having the soft tissue tension as the most important physiological structure to preserve.

I profondi cambiamenti culturali, i favorevoli risultati ottenuti nelle altre branche chirurgiche con le tecniche mininvasive e i promettenti contributi forniti dalle nuove tecnologie impongono anche alla chirurgia ortopedica di adeguarsi e apportare quelle modifiche tecniche e procedurali in grado di rendere l’intervento più sicuro, rispettoso dei tessuti e vantaggioso dal punto di vista clinico. La chirurgia mininvasiva è una “filosofia”, una scelta procedurale irreversibile e ormai irrinunciabile a cui crediamo profondamente per l’affidabilità dimostrata, destinata peraltro al perfezionamento e all’espansione in molti settori operativi.Più di 550 foto, più di 130 illustrazioni, circa 40 casi clinici
