Research summary
This project is intended to investigate whether improved component position in total hip replacement surgery is linked to improved patient satisfaction & reduction in rates of dislocation of the implant. It is our belief that using robotic assisted surgery to ensure optimum position of the acetabulum (cup) in hip total replacement will lead to reduction in the rate of impingement of the implant during full range of motion and consequently reduced rate of dislocation. We intend to compare the robotic assisted surgery with traditional techniques for implant position using 3-dimensional analysis obtained from computer tomographic (CT) scan post procedure.
