Core Tip

Core Tip: The use of robot-assisted total knee replacement surgery has rapidly gained popularity and shows improved radiological outcomes with no difference in complication rates. It is associated with less soft tissue injuries and blood loss intraoperatively. However, this has not translated into better long-term clinical outcomes within the limited published literature. On the other hand, there are installation and maintenance costs and longer operative times during the learning curve which are partly compensated by reduced hospital stay and 90 d readmission rates.
