Whereas some data is available utilising different approaches, to our belief this study provides the first in vivo FV data in DA-THA using the MAKO™ robot. To improve the accuracy of the femoral stem version in DA-THA, we want to ask the following question: How effectively can we reproduce the native femoral version in DA- THA using the MAKO™ robot? The first 125 total hip cases through DAA with the use of the combined anteversion concept and the help of the MAKO™ robot from a single institution, single surgeon from January 2020 to July 2021 were retrospectively analysed.
