The Use of Robotic-Arm Assistance in Complex Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Report of Three Challenging Cases

摘要

The purpose of this case report was to demonstrate the utility, versatility, and efficacy of robotic-arm technology in complex primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) cases for acetabular bone loss, hip dysplasia, and post-traumatic arthritis with hardware. Preoperative computer templating allows precise and accurate acetabular and femoral stem positioning in cases that presented with significant native deformity and bone loss. Robotic-arm THA may be a viable option for complex primary cases to optimize implant positioning and mitigate postoperative instability and complications.
