Blood loss and transfusion risk in robotic‐assisted knee arthroplasty: A retrospective analysis
Background The purpose of this study was to compare total blood loss and the risk of receiving a blood transfusion in robotic‐assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) against conventional jig‐based techniques. Methods Robotic TKA (n = 50) and UKA (n = 50) p...

The purpose of this study was to compare total blood loss and the risk of receiving a blood transfusion in robotic‐assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) against conventional jig‐based techniques.
Methods
Robotic TKA (n = 50) and UKA (n = 50) patients were matched to contemporary controls for TKA (n = 50) and UKA (n = 50) and retrospectively analysed.
Results
Robotic TKA patients experienced 23.7% less blood loss compared to conventional TKA patients (911.0 ml vs 1193.7 ml, p |
