Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective operation for patients with hip osteoarthritis; however, patients with hip dysplasia present a particular challenge. Our novel study examined the effect of robotic-assisted THA in patients with hip dysplasia.. Nineteen patients at two centers presented with hip dysplasia. We found that components were placed according to the preoperative plan, there was a significant improvement in the modified Harris Hip Score from 31 to 84 (p<0.001), an improvement in hip range of motion (flexion improvement from 66 º to 91º, p<0.0001), a significant correction of leg length discrepancy (17.5 vs. 4 mm, p<.0002), and no short-term complications.. Robotic-assisted THA can be a useful method to ensure adequate component positioning and excellent outcomes in patients with hip dysplasia.
