Patients are commonly discharged to inpatient rehabilitation following TKA with substantial associated costs to health care providers. We aimed to directly compare rates of discharge to inpatient rehabilitation between robotic assisted and computer navigated TKA to investigate differences in early functional outcomes between these technologies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective cohort study of patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing computer navigated or robotic assisted primary TKA at a single institution between 01 January 2016 and 31 December 2023 was conducted. Propensity score matching was performed 1:1 with propensity scores estimated using logistic regression accounting for age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anaesthesiologists classification, insurance status, and unilateral vs. bilateral procedure.
