    Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) improved implant positioning accuracy compared to conventional techniques in simultaneous bilateral procedures.

  • 2

    Despite improved accuracy, RA-TKA did not enhance patient-reported outcomes or implant survivorship over conventional total knee arthroplasty.

  • 3

    The study involved 151 patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty, with 117 receiving RA-TKA and 34 receiving conventional instrumentation.

  • 4

    The research aimed to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes at a minimum of two years post-surgery for both RA-TKA and conventional techniques.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that while RA-TKA offers precision in implant placement, it does not translate to better clinical outcomes for patients.
