Abstract
The OrthoPilot TKA Version 4.2 (B. Braun-Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany) offers software support for orthopedic surgeons. The system provides nearly normal manual workflow, creates perfect cuts, allows for sophisticated management of soft tissue, and respects individual anatomies. The OrthoPilot TKA Version 4.2 displays information to guide surgical decisions. However, surgeons decide if the information will be used during the resection. The most important advancements in the Version 4.2 software are the calculation of perfect rotation of the femoral component and optimal gap balancing.
