Introduction The purpose was to compare robotic assisted (RA), computer navigated (CN), and conventional UKA techniques. Methods Databases were queried for data on study characteristics, UKA systems, complications, and tibiofemoral alignment. Results Four RA and six CN RCTs were identified. No significant differences were found in operative time, tibiofemoral alignment, and reoperation rates when comparing RA or CN to conventional UKA. RA UKA resulted in a significantly lower risk of complications compared to conventional UKA. Conclusions RA UKA results in fewer complications than conventional UKA with a clinically significant increase in operative time. All groups were similar in remaining evaluated parameters.
