Abstract

Background: Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is a widely implemented procedure for osteoarthritis (Oas), offering pain relief in most patients. The ventral method has gained popularity due to faster retrieval and a lower risk of dislocation. Still, uncertainty remains a major cause of THA.

Objectives: To evaluate robotic-assisted THA systems, surgical precision, spinopelvic dynamics, long-term results, and cost-effectiveness, addressing current gaps in the literature. A comprehensive literature review was accompanied to evaluate robotic-assisted THA, with a focus on surgical precision, spinopelvic dynamics, clinical outcomes, health risks and cost-effectiveness. Data were extracted from peer-reviewed journals, clinical trials, comparative analyses, and registry reports. Studies on various robotic systems-including MAKO, ACROBOT, ROBODOC, and T-Solution. One was examined to evaluate its involvement in implant placement, stability, and overall performance. Key themes involved imaging technologies, surgical planning software, and innovations in robotic guidance systems.

Results: The review initiate that robotic-assisted THA significantly progresses implant positioning accuracy and may diminish complication rates associated with malalignment. Robotic systems consuming CT-based or imageless navigation develop surgical accuracy, while also accounting for distinct spinopelvic dynamics. Long-term conclusion data and cost effectiveness analyses endure limited. The review highlights the essential for more robust relative studies across robotic daises and calls for integration of patient-specific anatomical and biomechanical factors to refine surgical approaches. Recognizing reliable parameters for spinopelvic mobility and their impact on postoperative significances is vital for personalized THA planning.

Conclusion: This review aims to fill gaps in published studies by analyzing long-term follow-up data and cost-effectiveness, comparing robotic systems, and prominence clinical outcomes, complications, and advancements in robotic technologies.
