    Understand the differences and potential benefits and drawbacks of different methods of robotic TKA. Pros of image based. - detailed understanding of 3D anatomy - precise virtual implant position (critical for personalised alignment) - OR efficiency - big data set Cons of image based - cost - scheduling / travel - radiation - rejected scans Image based -CT / MR / Xray 2d-3d Don't forget sagittal and coronal planes -alternative alignment makes the coronal plane very simple. Often the most complex cases are those with extreme sagittal or axial anatomy (huge tibial slope, severe aspect ratio mismatch for the distal femur, aberrant tuberosity location). These are the cases that I find image based most useful for If imaged based who is doing the planning? Rep, app, surgeon,AI. Who should be doing the planning? We should definitely have case based discussions and leave room for question time. topics. The switch to patient specific alignment and the power of image based robotics (DF) Image based robotics for complex primary TKA (RC) What makes a primary TKA complex? Beyond the coronal plane (AP) Pre-operative imaging, big data and smart robots Understanding pre-arthritic anatomy and maintaining morphotype (JR) My robot does it all. Customising care.

    Subtalar instability remains a topic of debate, and its precise cause is still unknown. The mechanism of injury and clinical symptoms of ankle and subtalar instabilities largely overlap, resulting in many cases of isolated or combined subtalar instability that are often misdiagnosed. Neglecting the subtalar instability may lead to failure of conservative or surgical treatment and result in chronic ankle instability. This ICL aims to shed light on this important topic.
