Pain relief and functional improvement are predictable clinical results. But the accuracy of the alignment affects the surgical outcome and the longevity of the prosthesis. Hence, current total knee implantation systems attempt to align the knee joint in the mechanical axis for placement of the total knee components. These approaches use templates and plain radiographs for preoperative planning and alignment devices for bone cuts. To overcome the inherent inaccuracy of the presently used systems a computer-assisted planning system has been developed delivering the necessary control data for the intraoperative surgical robot system.ensurgical planningrobot assisted therapymedical visualization006conference paper
