Abstract
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) has become a popular technology. Studies have investigated the learning curve for surgeons incorporating RA-TKA into practice, but less is known regarding the change in operative efficiency when introducing RA-TKA into a facility. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of RA-TKA on operative and turnover time at an orthopaedic specialty hospital.
