The Learning Curve From Converting From Fluoroscopic to Robotic-Assisted Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Introduction: Robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (RA-THA) provides an alternative to fluoroscopic guidance, thus reducing radiation exposure for orthopaedic surgeons. This study was performed to assess the learning curve associated with the adoption of RA-THA using the direct anterior approach (DAA) with regard to surgical time, use of fluoroscopy, and implant placement. In addition, we compared complication rates and patient-reported outcome scores between both cohorts.
