Abstract

BACKGROUND: Accurate positioning of the acetabular component is key in performing total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, reconstruction of the acetabulum in the setting of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a challenge. Robotic assisted THA has the potential to improve the accuracy of implantation of the acetabular cup in cases with DDH. The purpose of this study was to assess whether robotic technology improves the accuracy of acetabular component positioning in patients with DDH.
