Introduction: Previous studies have demonstrated the use of technology in total hip arthroplasty (THA) provided favorable outcomes. This study sought to describe the effect preoperative two-dimensional low-dose (2DLD) full-body radiographs had on the prevention of adverse outcomes following THA.
Methods: We reviewed 11,814 cases of patients who underwent primary, elective THA from 2016 to 2021.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of surgical technologies like robotics and navigation on outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA), comparing three groups: conventional, navigation, and robotic.
- A review of 9892 THA cases showed that the robotic group achieved the best early recovery metrics, including a perfect Activity Measure score and shorter hospital stays.
- Results support that robot-assisted THA leads to better clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction within the first 90 days post-surgery compared to conventional and navigation methods.
Background: Computer navigation and robotic assistance may reduce total hip arthroplasty (THA) dislocations by improving the accuracy and precision of component positioning. We investigated dislocation rates for THAs using conventional techniques, robotic assistance, and computer navigation, while controlling for surgical approach, dual mobility (DM) use, and fluoroscopic guidance.
Methods: We reviewed 11,740 primary THAs performed between June 2016 and December 2022, including 5,873 conventional, 1,293 with robotic-arm assistance, and 4,574 with navigation.
