A comprehensive systematic review evaluating robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty against conventional surgical techniques has found no consistent economic advantage favoring the robotic approach. Rather than demonstrating uniform financial benefits or universal cost penalties, the available evidence indicates that the economic profile of robotic technology remains highly variable across different surgical environments and analytical models.
The primary objective of the review was to directly compare the economic and healthcare resource utilization outcomes associated with robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (R-TKA) versus conventional total knee arthroplasty (C-TKA).
To evaluate the comparative literature, the authors executed a structured search strategy adhering to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines on October 10, 2026. Systematic queries were conducted across major…
