Technology and cost-effectiveness in knee arthroplasty: computer navigation and robotics
Abstract
Our aim in this article is to describe the impact that navigation technology has had on the market share of a community hospital and, specifically, to determine whether a high-volume surgeon using these technologies actually costs the hospital more than other surgeons at the same hospital and more than national means. In addition, we develop a comparable cost-effectiveness model for robotic technology in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty to demonstrate the potential cost-effectiveness at the same hospital.
