This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of implant placement with robotic-arm assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The study analyzed a consecutive series of 69 patients who underwent robotic-arm assisted THA between September 2018 and December 2019. Of these, 30 patients had DDH and were classified according to the Crowe type. Acetabular component alignment and 3D positions were measured using pre- and postoperative CT data. The absolute differences of cup alignment and 3D position were compared between DDH and non-DDH patients. Moreover, these differences were analyzed in relation to the severity of DDH. The discrepancy of leg length and combined offset compared with contralateral hip were measured.Aims
Methods
The aim of this study was to assess the current evidence relating
to the benefits of virtual reality (VR) simulation in orthopaedic
surgical training, and to identify areas of future research. A literature search using the MEDLINE, Embase, and Google Scholar
databases was performed. The results’ titles, abstracts, and references
were examined for relevance.Aims
Materials and Methods
The number of patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery of the
hip has increased significantly during the past decade. It has now
become an established technique for the treatment of many intra-
and extra-articular conditions affecting the hip. However, it has
a steep learning curve and is not without the risk of complications.
The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the prevalence
of complications during and following this procedure. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
guidelines were used in designing this study. Two reviewers systematically
searched the literature for complications related to arthroscopy
of the hip. The research question and eligibility criteria were
established Aims
