Background: Robots are being used in a wide range of surgical procedures. However, in clinical practice, the efficacy of orthopedic robotic-assisted treatment of femoral neck fractures is still poorly reported, particularly in terms of screw placement accuracy, femoral neck fracture healing rates and postoperative functional recovery. Moreover, there is a lack of comparative analysis between robot-assisted surgery and traditional surgical approaches.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of patients with femoral neck fractures treated with TiRobot-assisted hollow screw fixation with those of patients with femoral neck fractures treated with traditional surgical approaches.
Methods: This study included 112 patients with femoral neck fracture who were treated from March 2017 to October 2021 with percutaneous hollow screw internal fixation. These included 56 cases in the TiRobot-assisted surgery group and 56 cases in the standard surgery group. After at least 1 year of follow-up, the treatment outcomes of the two groups were compared, including the amount of intraoperative bleeding, the duration of intraoperative fluoroscopy, the number of guide pin positioning adjustments, the length of hospital stay, the accuracy rate of screw placement, the final Harris Hip Score, the fracture healing rate, and the rate of femoral head necrosis. Statistical analysis software was used to process and analyze the result.
Results: The TiRobot-assisted group had a statistically significant improvement over the control group in terms of intraoperative bleeding, the duration of intraoperative fluoroscopy, the number of guide pin positioning adjustments, length of hospital stay, accuracy of screw placement and incidence of femoral head necrosis (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in time to surgery, final Harris hip score and fracture healing rate (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: This study shows that TiRobot-assisted surgery has the advantages of short hospital stay, high safety, minimally invasive, high success rate of nail placement, and can reduce the amount of intraoperative radiation and the incidence of femoral head necrosis, thus achieving satisfactory clinical outcomes, and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Introduction: Despite many studies on the prevalence of vertebral fractures (VFs), the VF prevalence at death in the Japanese population remains unclear.
Materials And Methods: We evaluated the VF prevalence at death in a Japanese cohort using autopsy imaging computed tomography (AiCT). We enrolled 365 cadavers (188 men, 177 women, mean age of 84.

Background: The number of patients with hip and femoral fractures is increasing and is expected to further increase in upcoming years due to the ageing population and the life expectancy of the general population. In this analysis, we aimed to systematically assess the post-operative complications associated with the pre-operative use of Aspirin in patients undergoing surgery for hip or femoral fracture.

Over-resection, or under-resection, of the femoral cam lesion in patients having hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome indicate different possible solutions.

As surgeons, we strive to recognize and correct any mistakes that may occur before completing an operation, and importantly, do our best to avoid irreversible mistakes. Over-resection of the femoral cam lesion in patients having hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome has been considered irreversible. While cam under-resection is a technical complication of femoroacetabular impingement surgery to be avoided, avoiding this at the expense of over-resection of the proximal femur is of great concern.

Geriatric femoral neck fractures are common orthopaedic injuries, which are associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Arthroplasty is the optimum treatment for many of these injuries, but debate exists regarding optimal surgical strategy. Multiple recent investigations have demonstrated strong superiority for cemented stems as compared with noncemented fixation with a decreased risk of periprosthetic fracture, shorter length of stay, lower cost, and decreased rate for revision surgery.

Background And Purpose: The optimal approach to the hip joint in patients with displaced femoral neck fractures (dFNF) receiving a total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains controversial. We compared the direct lateral approach (DLA) with the direct anterior approach (DAA) primarily on Timed Up and Go (TUG), and secondarily on the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), the Oxford Hip Score (OHS), EQ5D-5L, and the EQ5D-VAS.
Methods: Between 2018 and 2023, we conducted a randomized controlled trial including elderly patients with dFNFs treated with THA.
