Prospective cohort study compares functional outcomes between robotic-assisted and conventional TKA, suggesting benefits for robotics.

To compare functional outcomes and alignment accuracy between robotic-assisted and conventional total knee arthroplasty.
Prospective cohort study involving 120 patients undergoing primary TKA, divided into robotic-assisted (n = 60) and conventional (n = 60) groups.
Evaluation using Knee Society Score (KSS), WOMAC, and range of motion (ROM) preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months.
Radiographic assessment for mechanical alignment postoperatively.
Robotic-assisted TKA showed significantly improved alignment accuracy compared to conventional TKA.
At 12 months, the robotic group had significantly higher KSS scores and lower WOMAC scores (P < 0.05).
Robotic-assisted patients achieved greater post-operative flexion ROM with lower early rehabilitation pain scores.

Khare et al. (2026) studied this question.
