Perhaps you’ve been doing excellent knee replacements for years without a robot
and you’re unconvinced the technology adds anything you don’t already have.
Perhaps you’re curious, but the cost, the learning curve, and the marketing noise
have left you with more questions than answers. Perhaps you’re already on a
platform and ready to go deeper. Wherever you are, the questions are the same —
and they deserve honest answers.

does the robot actually change outcomes? What does it demand of the surgeon?
And is the investment — in money, in time, in retraining — genuinely worth it?

FORTE 2026 doesn’t assume you’re a convert. It assumes you’re a thinking
surgeon.The central truth this forum is built on is simple: the robot is only as good
as the surgeon behind it. Just as you once learned the language of instruments,
bone, and soft tissue in conventional arthroplasty, robotic surgery asks you to learn
a new one — kinematics, real-time data, tension mapping, workflow. That learning is
not automatic, and it is not trivial. FORTE exists to make it rigorous, honest, and
worth your time.
