Length of stay, pain and opioid consumption following manual versus robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty
Robotic assistance in THA was independently associated with a slightly shorter LOS. The significantly higher pain scores (0.08 points of NRS) and lower in-hospital opioid consumption (0.11 MMEs/hour) suggest that while some statistically significant differences exist between robotic-assisted and manual THA, these differences may not be clinically meaningful.
