Does the use of robotic technology improve outcomes in primary total hip arthroplasty?

Abstract

Does the use of robotic technology improve outcomes in primary total hip arthroplasty? Recommendation: Based on available evidence, robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty does not provide clear advantages over conventional total hip arthroplasty as far as clinical outcomes. Further studies are needed to confirm that improved radiographic outcome achieved with robotic surgery translates to better clinical outcome and survivorship. Level of Evidence: Moderate. Delegate Vote: Agree: 91%, Disagree: 8%, Abstain: 1%.
