Estimation of Femoral Version During Total Hip Arthroplasty: Surgeon Visual Assessment versus Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology.

CONCLUSIONS: Visual estimation of femoral implant version differed significantly from measurements captured by three-dimensional robotic-arm assisted imaging. This suggests that estimating stem position intraoperatively by eye is not reliable, even when done by an experienced surgeon. The use of robotic-arm assisted technology may be recommended for determining femoral stem version intraoperatively. PMID: 33238024 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
