ABSTRACT
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has improved the life quality of osteoarthritic patients, yet challenges persist. The robotic arm-assisted system, integrated into THA, aims to refine implant positioning, enhance precision, reduce errors, and restore the hip joint's anatomy, including hip center, femoral offset, and limb length. We present the first use of the system for the treatment of a subcapital femoral neck hip fracture. A 62-year-old female suffering a left subcapital hip fracture underwent THA using the robotic arm-assisted system. After acetabular registration, accurate component placement was achieved, and a 9-mm limb length discrepancy was addressed. The patient had an unremarkable recovery with a reported Harris hip score of 96.5 at 18 months postsurgery. Robotic-guided navigation in THA, as showcased in this case, ensures accurate implant positioning by restoring the anatomical features of the hip joint. Its potential extends beyond conventional applications, hinting at future use in trauma, revision, and oncology cases. While promising, future adaptations should consider soft tissue dynamics to ensure joint stability and overall success.
