%X Osteopetrosis, a rare condition arising from osteoclast dysfunction, is characterised by increased bony density and obliteration of the intramedullary canal. While total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is preferred for osteoarthritic patients with osteopetrosis, inherent disease characteristics pose surgical challenges. This article presents a patient with osteopetrosis treated with robotic arm-assisted TKA (RA-TKA). This approach provided precise bone resection, obviates the need for intramedullary guides, minimizes saw disposal, and reduces surgical duration, with satisfactory short-term outcomes. RA-TKA may be an effective treatment for osteoarthritis in patients with osteopetrosis.
