Abstract

BACKGROUND: Recently, two topical issues in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been robot-assisted surgery and use of a short stem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of robotic milling on the accuracy of short femoral stem positioning and on the short-term clinical outcome in THA using a prospective, randomized design.
