Abstract
Patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) is a delicate and challenging procedure. A PFA application has been developed for the Navio semi-active robotic platform (“NavioPFA”), to facilitate both planning and bone preparation. NavioPFA combines image-free navigation and planning with robotically assisted bone shaping, and is open to any implant design, provided that the feasibility and accuracy is confirmed in sawbones and cadaver tests. In this abstract we describe the accuracy tests of NavioPFA, with results for four different implant designs. The accuracy of prosthesis placement with Navio is evaluated by independent measurements that compare the final placement to the planned position.
