Accuracy and Precision of Acetabular Component Position Does Not Differ Between the Anterior and Posterior Approaches to Total Hip Arthroplasty With Robotic Assistance: A Matched-Pair Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Deviation from planned component placement with robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (RA-THA) may differ based on surgical approach. The purpose of this study was to compare radiographic accuracy and precision of acetabular component position using RA-THA with the direct anterior approach (DAA) or posterior approach (PA).

Methods

Between 2016 and 2019, 134 PA RA-THA patients were matched to 134 DAA RA-THA patients based on age (±10 years), body mass index (±5 kg/m²), and sex (exact). Acetabular component position was assessed using (1) planned position on preoperative computed tomography, (2) intraoperative position, and (3) position on 6-week postoperative radiographs using the digital Ein Bild Röntgen Analyse system.
