@mhort1213 I asked my surgeon about robotics and said the surgeries tend to go quite well, but he is holding off until more long term data is available.

My uncle had the robotic surgery done Feb 2019 and had a great recovery. I was reading that there can be less pain during recovery because the robot is able to more precisely adjust bone alignment and can use its computer brain to calculate individual measurements of the tendons, ligaments and muscle. I assume this means there is less manual manipulation of these soft tissues / stretching.

It is hard to know what to do.......
