Trends of robotic total joint arthroplasty utilization in the United States from 2010 to 2022: a nationwide assessment.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The adoption of robotic assistance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) is growing rapidly worldwide. This study aims to evaluate recent trends in the utilization of robotic-assisted TKA and THA across the United States spanning a 12-year period. This retrospective analysis utilized the PearlDiver All Payer Claims Database to identify patients who underwent primary, elective primary TKA or THA between 2010 and 2022. Procedures were categorized as conventional or robot assisted based on International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9), ICD-10, and Current Procedural Technology (CPT) codes. Patient demographics were captured including age, sex, and comorbidities. Annual usage trends for each modality were analyzed. Simple linear regressions were utilized to evaluate changes in the proportion of annual robot-assisted TJA performed over time relative to total procedures. P values < 0.05 were significant. Of the 2,294,076 total TKAs performed between 2010 and 2022, 1.58% were robotic assisted. Similarly, of the 1,235,577 total THAs performed, 1.26% utilized robotic assistance. Robotic TKA accounted for a steadily increasing percentage of total TKA procedures, significantly growing from 0.35% in 2010 to 3.45% in 2022, peaking at 4.39% in 2019 (P < 0.001). Similarly, robotic THA utilization showed significant growth, increasing from 0.26% in 2010 to 2.36% in 2022, peaking at 3.59% in 2019 (P < 0.001). The use of robotic-assisted TKA and THA has seen significant growth across the United States. Robotic TKA and THA have become increasingly utilized technologies, with steady growth in adoption since 2010.Level of evidence: III.
