Systematic review and meta-analysis of economic and healthcare resource utilization outcomes for robotic versus manual total knee arthroplasty

© 2023. The Author(s)..

The introduction of robotics in orthopedic surgery has led to improved precision and standardization in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Clinical benefits of robotic versus manual TKA have been well established; however, evidence for economic and healthcare resource utilization outcomes (HRU) is lacking. The primary objective of this study was to compare economic and HRU outcomes for robotic and manual TKA. The secondary objective was to explore comparative robotic and manual TKA pain and opioid consumption outcomes. Multi-database literature searches were performed to identify studies comparing robotic and manual TKA from 2016 to 2022 and meta-analyses were conducted. This review included 50 studies with meta-analyses conducted on 35. Compared with manual TKA, robotic TKA was associated with a: 14% reduction in hospital length of stay (P = 0.022); 74% greater likelihood to be discharged to home (P < 0.001); and 17% lower likelihood to experience a 90-day readmission (P = 0.043). Robotic TKA was associated with longer mean operating times (incision to closure definition: 9.27 min longer, P = 0.030; general operating time definition: 18.05 min longer, P = 0.006). No differences were observed for total procedure cost and 90-day emergency room visits. Most studies reported similar outcomes for robotic and manual TKA regarding pain and opioid use. Coupled with the clinical benefits of robotic TKA, the economic impact of using robotics may contribute to hospitals' quality improvement and financial sustainability. Further research and more randomized controlled trials are needed to effectively quantify the benefits of robotic relative to manual TKA.
