Introduction and Objective. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a frequently and increasingly performed surgery in the treatment of disabling knee osteoarthritis. The rising number of procedures and related revisions pose an increasing economic burden on health care systems. In an attempt to lower the revision rate due to component malalignment and soft tissue imbalance in TKA, robotic assistance (RA) has been introduced in the operating theatre. The primary objective of this study is to provide the results of a theoretical, preliminary cost-effectiveness analysis of RA TKA. Materials and Methods. A Markov state-transition model was designed to model the health status of sixty-seven-year-old patients in need of TKA due to primary osteoarthritis over a twenty-year period following their knee joint replacement. Transitional probabilities and independent variables were extracted from existing literature. Patients’ state in the transition model was able to change on an annual basis. The main differences between the conventional and RA TKA were the outlier rate in the coronal plane and the cost of the procedure. In RA TKA, it was hypothesized that there were lower revision rates due to a lower outlier rate compared to conventional TKA. Results. The value attributed to the utility both for primary and revision surgery has the biggest impact on the ICER, followed by the rate of successful primary surgery and the cost of RA-technology. Only 2.18–2.34% of the samples yielded from the probabilistic sensitivity analysis proved to be cost-effective (threshold set at $50000/QALY). A calculated surgical volume of at least 191–253 cases per robot per year is needed to prove cost-effective taking the predetermined parameter values into account. Conclusions. Robot-assisted TKA might be a cost-effective procedure compared to conventional TKA if a minimum of 191 cases are performed on a yearly basis, depending on the cost of the robot. The cost-benefit of the robotic TKA surgery is mainly based on a decreased revision rate. This study is based on the assumption that alignment is a predictor of success in total knee arthroplasty. Until there is data confirming the assertion that alignment predicts success robot-assisted surgery cannot be recommended
