Equivalent radiation exposure with robotic total hip replacement using a novel, fluoroscopic-guided (CT-free) system: case-control study versus manual technique.

Accurate and precise positioning of the acetabular cup remains a prevalent challenge in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Robotic assistance for THA has increased over the past decade due to the potential to improve the accuracy of implant placement. However, a common criticism of existing robotic systems is the requirement for preoperative computerized tomography (CT) scans.
