Robotic-assisted hip arthroplasty no better than manual implantation .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Comparison of robotic-assisted and manual implantation of a primary total hip replacement. A prospective study
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2003 Aug;85-A(8):1470-8154 patients scheduled for total hip replacement were randomized to undergo either conventional manual implantation of an S-ROM prosthesis or robotic-assisted implantation of such prosthesis using the five-axis ROBODOC. Patients were assessed clinically and radiographically through a 24 month follow-up period. Eighteen percent (18%) of attempted robotic implantations failed and had to be converted to manual implantation. Limb-length equality and varus-valgus orientation of the stem were better immediately postoperatively in the robotic group. By 24 months, no significant differences were found between the groups in terms of clinical scores. Dislocations were significantly more frequent in the robotic surgery group (11/61 compared to 3/80), as were revision surgeries (8/61 compared to 0).
