The Practicality of the Robotic Total Hip Arthroplasty for the Treatment of Complex Bilateral Adult Hip Dysplasia. Technology Makes It Easy.

Adult hip dysplasia provides many challenges for joint surgeons. Due to the abnormal bone morphology and altered biomechanics of the hip, surgeons must ensure accurate implant positioning to avoid postoperative complications. We present a 56-year-old female with a history of bilateral Legg-Calve-Perthes disease and subsequent dysplasia who underwent bilateral total hip arthroplasty using robotic navigation.

Arthrofibrosis in Robotic Total Knee Arthroplasty: An Investigation Into How Robotic Assistance May Contribute to a Tight Knee.

Introduction: Arthrofibrosis after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can lead to pain and restricted range of motion. Matching native knee kinematics is crucial in avoiding arthrofibrosis postoperatively. However, manual jig-based instruments have demonstrated variability and inaccuracy during primary TKA.

Early Superior Clinical Outcomes in Robotic-Assisted TKA Compared to Conventional TKA in the Same Patient: A Comparative Analysis.

Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) has demonstrated improved alignment and outcome scores when compared with manual total knee arthroplasty (M-TKA); however, few studies compare differences in the same patient. This study is a retrospective review that assesses clinical outcomes of 36 patients who underwent a primary RA-TKA and had undergone a prior contralateral M-TKA. All surgeries were performed by a single surgeon at the same institution.

Learning Curve of Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty for Non-Fellowship-Trained Orthopedic Surgeons.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) serves as a reliable treatment option for patients with end-stage arthritis, but patient dissatisfaction rate remains high. With the projected increase in the volume of arthroplasty operations, surgeons have aimed for methods in which to improve the patient outcomes. Robotic-assisted TKA has become increasingly popular.
