  • Robotic systems used in orthopaedics have evolved from active systems to semi-active systems.

  • Early active systems were associated with significant technical and surgical complications, which limited their clinical use.

  • The new semi-active system Mako has demonstrated promise in overcoming these limitations, with positive early outcomes.

  • There remains a paucity of data regarding long-term outcomes associated with newer systems such as Mako and TSolution One, which will be important in assessing the applicability of these systems.

  • Given the already high satisfaction rate of manual THA, further high-quality comparative studies are required utilizing outcome scores that are not limited by high ceiling effects to assess whether robotic systems justify their additional expense.
