Robotic Assistance is Associated With No Intraoperative Fluoroscopy or Radiation Exposure During Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As more total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures continue to be performed and concomitant intraoperative fluoroscopic utilization continues to increase, it is important for surgeons to critically analyze this practice during their procedures. The direct anterior approach (DAA) is a popular technique, but often requires the use of fluoroscopy for evaluation of component positioning and implantation. Computed tomography (CT)-based robotic-assisted THA (RA-THA) may represent an alternative to conventional procedures, which may allow the avoidance of the use of intraoperative fluoroscopy to be avoided and instead rely on a preoperative CT scan of the patient and intraoperative mapping. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in radiation exposure from CT-base
