Robotic Versus Manual Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Marginal Time-driven Activity-based Costing Analysis
Using TDABC, total healthcare facility costs of robotic THA were similar to those of manual THA when controlling for variables known to influence costs in total joint arthroplasty. This study offers patient-level cost insights on the economic feasibility of robotic THA. Additional studies evaluating the long-term outcomes of robotic THA are needed to determine its long-term advantages.
