What are the risks and recovery expectations?

Risks are similar to conventional knee replacement—infection, blood clots, implant loosening, nerve injury, and stiffness—but robotic assistance may reduce malalignment risk. Recovery involves 6–12 weeks of physical therapy; you will use a walker for 2–4 weeks and gradually return to normal activities. Most patients achieve significant pain relief and improved mobility within 3–6 months. Full recovery and return to sports may take up to a year.
