Eight studies including 758 453 knees undergoing total knee replacement (TKR) were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis comparing robotic-assisted total knee replacement (RA-TKR) versus conventional total knee replacement (C-TKR). Pooled outcomes of interest included overall surgical site infection (SSI), deep infection, superficial infection, and pin-site infection within 12 months. Overall, SSI rates were low and comparable between RA-TKR and C-TKR, with no statistically significant differences in deep infections or superficial/pin-site infections. RA-TKR also demonstrated low infection risk compared with conventional techniques, suggesting that both approaches are safe with respect to perioperative infection.
