Comparative Efficacy and Precision of Robot-Assisted vs. Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure for knee osteoarthritis. While conventional TKA (C-TKA) remains standard, robot-assisted TKA (RA-TKA) has been introduced to enhance implant positioning and clinical outcomes. However, its comparative benefits remain unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared RA-TKA with C-TKA, examining the influence of robotic system, surgeon experience, and follow-up duration. Methods: A systematic search was conducted across the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing RA-TKA with C-TKA were included. Outcomes were categorized into clinical, radiographic, and safety endpoints. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses explored factors
