NAVIO RATKA shows similar rates of hemoglobin-drop, adverse events, readmission and early revision vs conventional TKA: a single centre retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: Despite widespread adoption of NAVIO robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (NAVIO RATKA) in clinical practice, clinical outcome in terms of adverse events and complications remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare adverse events, length of stay, surgical time, hemoglobin drop, early readmission rate and revision rate between conventional TKA (CTKA) and NAVIO RATKA.

Methods: This single-centre retrospective cohort analysis compared 230 NAVIO RATKA patients to 489 CTKA patients with a minimal follow-up of 12 months.
