Robotic-Assistance in Total Hip Arthroplasty Is Associated With Decreased Dislocation Rates

Abstract

Background: As the use of robotics in total hip arthroplasty (THA) continues to gain popularity, differences in clinical outcomes when compared to manual techniques have remained unclear. This study aimed to compare postoperative complications between patients undergoing robotic-assisted techniques and manual THA for primary osteoarthritis at 90 days, 1 year, and 2 years. Methods: -tests to compare continuous variables, including ages and comorbidities. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for complications using 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: > .05). Conclusions: Patients who underwent robotic-assisted THA had lower rates of dislocation at 90 days, 1 year, and 2 years. This finding supports the use of robotic assistance in THA, though further research is needed to confirm and strengthen these findings.
