MAKO robotic-assisted compared to conventional total hip arthroplasty for hip osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is the gold standard for treating end-stage hip osteoarthritis. Robotic-assisted systems, particularly the MAKO system, have been introduced to enhance reproducibility and safety. However, meta-analyses comparing MAKO-assisted THAs (MAKO-THA) to conventional methods are lacking, and previous reviews often aggregate various indications, introducing heterogeneity.

Methods

A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted on comparative studies between MAKO robotic-arm-assisted and conventional THAs in patients undergoing THA for solely hip osteoarthritis. Clinical outcomes (Harris Hip Scores [HHS], Forgotten Joint Scores [FJS], and Oxford Hip Scores [OHS]), radiographic parameters (implant positioning accuracy), leg-length-discrepancy, surgic
