Article Abstract
Background: Inadequate acetabular component orientation is associated with postoperative impingement, dislocation, and accelerated polyethylene wear. Computed tomography (CT)-based navigation systems provide accuracy for total hip arthroplasty (THA) but are not available in all facilities. Accelerometer-based navigation systems are inexpensive, but their accuracy remains undetermined. This study compares the accuracy of cup orientation in THA using CT-based and accelerometer-based navigation systems.
Methods: This retrospective study included 35 consecutive patients (11 males, 24 females; mean age, 65 years) who underwent primary cementless THA via an anterolateral approach in the supine position. Both CT-based and accelerometer-based navigation systems were used simultaneously. The accuracy of cup orientation was compared between the two systems using postoperative CT.
Results: The accuracy of cup inclination was 2.7° ± 2.0° in the CT-based group and 3.3° ± 2.4° in the accelerometer-based group. The accuracy of cup anteversion was 2.8° ± 2.6° in the CT-based group and 3.4° ± 2.2° in the accelerometer-based group. No significant difference was observed in cup inclination (p = 0.29) or cup anteversion (p = 0.34) between CT-based and accelerometer-based navigation.
Conclusions: The accuracy of cup positioning did not differ significantly between CT-based and accelerometer-based navigation systems.

Introduction: Proper lower extremity alignment is important for success and longevity of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Conventional instrumentation has demonstrated higher rates of mechanical axis (MA) malalignment compared to robotic or computer navigated surgery. The purpose of this study is to compare the alignment and early clinical outcomes between a handheld implant agnostic navigation system and conventional instrumentation.

Background: This study compared imageless robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA) with accelerometer-based navigation (ABN) systems in terms of surgical accuracy and early clinical outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 153 patients (178 knees) who had undergone primary TKA from 2017 to 2023. Surgical accuracy and functional outcomes were assessed up to 12 months post-operation using the Chi-square test, Student's t-test, and ANCOVA.
Computed tomography-based navigation versus accelerometer-based portable navigation in total hip arthroplasty for dysplastic hip osteoarthritis.

Purpose: Accurate cup placement is challenging in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for dysplastic hip osteoarthritis (DHOA) because of the complex morphology of the acetabulum. Studies have reported good accuracy for total hip arthroplasty (THA) using computed tomography-based navigation (CTN); however, in recent years, portable navigation (PN) has become more widely applied because of its low cost and ease of use. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of portable navigation with that of CT-based navigation.

Background: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA) has been shown to improve the accuracy of component alignment and to potentially reduce the need for soft-tissue releases. To date, however, the potential benefits of expedited recovery, improved functional outcomes, and improved longevity of RATKA remain unproven. The purpose of this study was to compare functional outcomes and rates of soft-tissue releases between RATKA, conventional instrumentation (CONV), and accelerometer-based navigation (ABN) in primary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs).

Purpose: Kinematic alignment (KA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aims to restore the patient's knee to the prearthritic state. The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of using an implant-agnostic, imageless, accelerometer-based navigation system to perform KA TKA on the basis of caliper verification and quantification of the flexion and extension gaps.
Materials And Methods: Seven cadaveric lower extremities underwent primary TKA utilizing a kinematic alignment workflow with the imageless navigation system.
