A successful rehabilitation after surgery in hip endoprosthetics comprises self-training of the lessons taught by physiotherapists. While doing this, immediate feedback to the patient about deviations from physiological gait patterns during training is important. Such immediate feedback also concerns the correct usage of forearm crutches in three-point gait. In the project ROGER, a mobile Socially Assistive Robot (SAR) to support patients after surgery in hip endoprosthetics is going to be developed. The current implementation status of the robotic application developed for the use in a real-world scenario is presented below.

Case: The direct anterior total hip arthroplasty is known for a steep learning curve and femoral-sided intraoperative complications. This is a case report of a failure of femoral broach with a subsequent incarcerated femoral broach and novel extraction technique during a direct anterior total hip arthroplasty. This rare complication has only one other report in the literature.

Background: Although total hip and total knee arthroplasty are highly successful operations, the decision of whether and when to undergo surgery is highly subjective and discretionary, and specific guidelines regarding readiness for surgery remain elusive. The nature of these decisions underscores the importance of shared decision-making, which is founded on the concept that patients substantially contribute to determining their own readiness for surgery. The OPTION survey was developed as a conversation aid to facilitate shared decision-making in the context of total joint arthroplasty.

Purpose: Lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is relatively less common than medial UKA. There has been no comparative analysis of the constitutional phenotypes of knees that underwent medial and lateral UKA. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) classification of knees that underwent medial and lateral UKA.

Purpose: The main objective of this prospective study was to assess clinical, radiographic and safety mid-term outcomes after THA with a short cemented stem in an elderly patient cohort. Moreover, the study aimed at investigating the mid-term survivorship of the implant and the incidence of complications.
Methods: 96 consecutive patients (100 cases) underwent THA with a short cemented stem.

Objective: The primary research aim was to determine if the use of traditional or 3D printed prosthesis resulted in better functional outcome scores in hip arthroplasty.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted utilizing the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Six databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, WebOfScience, and Cochrane Library, Google Scholar) were searched yielding 1117 article titles and abstracts.
