Introduction

Accurate component placement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) improves post-operative stability and reduces wear and aseptic loosening. Methods for achieving accurate stem placement have not been as extensively studied as cup placement.

Objectives

The purpose of this study is to determine how consistently femoral stem version can be corrected to an ideal of 15 +/− 5 degrees using robotic guidance. Furthermore, the study aims to identify other factors related to approach and patient demographics, which may influence the degree of correction obtained.
