Aims: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with hip-dislocation dysplasia remains challenging. This study aims to evaluate whether these patients may benefit from robotic-assisted techniques.
Methods: We reviewed 135 THAs (108 conventional THAs and 27 robotic-assisted THAs) for Crowe type III or IV from January 2017 to August 2019 in our institution. Robotic-assisted THAs were matched with conventional THAs at a 1:1 ratio (27 hips each group) using propensity score matching. The accuracy of cup positioning and clinical outcomes were compared between groups.
Results: The inclination of the cup for conventional THAs and robotic THAs was 42.1 ± 5.7 and 41.3 ± 4.6 (p = 0.574), respectively. The anteversion of the cup for conventional THAs was significantly greater than that of robotic THAs (29.5 ± 8.1 and 18.0 ± 4.6; p < 0.001), respectively. The ratio of the acetabular cup in the Lewinnek safe zone was 37% (10/27) in conventional THAs and 96.3% (26/27) in robotic THAs (p < 0.001). Robotic THAs did not achieve better leg length discrepancy than that of conventional THAs (- 0.4 ± 10.9 mm vs. 0.4 ± 8.8 mm, p = 0.774). There was no difference in Harris Hip Score and WOMAC Osteoarthritis index between groups at the 2-year follow-up. No dislocation occurred in all cases at the final follow-up.
Conclusion: Robotic-assisted THA for patients with high dislocation improves the accuracy of the implantation of the acetabular component with respect to safe zone.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well-established treatment for symptomatic hip osteoarthritis (OA). The use of computer navigation in THA aims to achieve the reconstruction of the joint more consistently and precisely. The aim of this study was to contrast patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for THA procedures with and without commercially available navigation technologies.

Introduction: The adoption of new techniques, such as the direct anterior (DA) approach, and technologies, such as robotic assistance, in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has the potential to alleviate the intraoperative physical and mental demand that surgeons experience. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the physical and mental demand of surgeons performing conventional DA THA with fluoroscopy and robotic-assisted DA THA without fluoroscopy.
Methods: Two orthopaedic surgeons completed bilateral DA THA's on six cadaveric specimens.

Introduction: Acetabular component placement is critical for total hip arthroplasty (THA) stability and clinical outcomes. We investigated cup placement with robotic-arm assisted (RA) and conventional manual (CM) THA and compared patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and dislocations.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-seven patients were randomized to undergo RA or CM primary THA.

Article Synopsis
- A study examined trends in technology-assisted total hip arthroplasty (TA-THA) from 2015 to 2020, comparing it to conventional THA based on data from the ACS-NSQIP database.
- The analysis included over 219,000 conventional THA cases and about 2,258 TA-THA cases, revealing an increase in TA-THA usage until 2019, followed by a decline in 2020, and a yearly decrease in average hospital stay length until 2020.
- TA-THA procedures had longer operative times and higher transfusion rates, but no significant difference in complication rates compared to conventional THA, highlighting its growing use without major short-term benefits
Patient-reported outcomes in total hip arthroplasty for patients with anatomically contoured femoral heads.

Article Synopsis
- Iliopsoas tendinitis is increasingly common after total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to large femoral heads causing issues with surrounding tissues, prompting the use of anatomically contoured heads (ACH) that are gentler on soft tissue.
- This study analyzed 53 cases of THA with ACH to evaluate the prevalence of iliopsoas tendinitis, re-operations, and the effectiveness of the procedure using various patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) over time.
- Results showed significant improvement in most PROM scores within the first year post-surgery, with no instances of iliopsoas tendinitis, dislocations, or re-operations reported, indicating that ACH implants may effectively reduce anterior hip
