Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) may improve clinical outcomes for patients who have end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. However, the costs of rTKA are high, and there is a paucity of data evaluating the cost-effectiveness of rTKA. We aimed to analyze the cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) of rTKA relative to manual TKA.
