Robotics vs navigation vs conventional total hip arthroplasty: Does the use of technology yield superior outcomes
Journal of Arthroplasty Mar 28, 2021
Singh V, Realyvasquez J, Simcox T, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between the use of intraoperative technology and patient-reported outcome measures in patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). A consecutive series of patients who had undergone primary THA was retrospectively examined between 2016 and 2020. Individuals were divided into 3 groups depending on intraoperative technology utilization: computer-assisted navigation, robotic-assisted, or no technology (conventional) THA. In the analysis, 896 used navigation, 135 used robotics, and 929 used no technology among 1,960 cases. The outcomes illustrated that statistical variations observed between all modalities are not likely to be clinically meaningful with regard to early patient-reported outcomes. These modalities have not yet translated into improved early reported functional outcomes, although intraoperative use of technology may improve the accuracy of implant placement.
