Active Robotics for Total Hip Arthroplasty.
Robotics and computer assisted navigation have been developed to increase the accuracy of hip implant placement and improve long term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) These technologies have shown significant improvements in implant positioning when compared to conventional techniques. Currently, 3 robotic systems are cleared for use for THA in the US. The lead author (DSD) describes his preferred technique for using one of these systems, the TSolution One(r) (Think Surgical, Inc.
