Hip fusion takedown to total hip replacement is a challenging operation. Neck osteotomy and acetabular component placement are technically demanding and often require fluoroscopic guidance. Robotic arm-assisted total hip arthroplasty enhances accuracy of preoperative planning and provides navigated guidance for neck osteotomy and haptic guidance on acetabular reaming and cup implantation. Fluoroscopic guidance is replaced by real-time navigation and on-screen data. This article describes how robotic arm assistance can simplify this complex operation.

Introduction Proximal femoral fractures are a major cause of disability, particularly in aging populations, with an increasing incidence. Although osteosynthesis remains the first-line treatment, failures are common due to various complications. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the preferred salvage procedure in such cases, despite its technical challenges.

Introduction: anatomical deformities such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and Perthes disease represent a challenge for reconstruction. The use of 3D-printed models can be helpful for assessing the deformity, bone mass, implant size, and orientation.
Objectives: to prospectively evaluate the outcomes of 3D simulation in primary total hip arthroplasty.

Introduction: the presence of implants that occupy the femoral canal is frequent in patients undergoing ipsilateral total knee replacement (TKR). The use of electronic alignment and robotic assistance make intramedullary alignment unnecessary and could be adequate in situations with an occupied femoral canal (OFC).
Material And Methods: we present a prospective cohort of 25 patients who underwent robotic alignment TKR and had prior ipsilateral surgery in the femur that resulted in occupied femoral canal.

Background: Differentiating periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) from aseptic failure is challenging in total joint arthroplasty. To date, there is no consensus about the most accurate criteria to diagnose PJI. The current study compares common diagnostic PJI criteria.

Background: Accurate acetabular cup orientation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is crucial for successful outcomes. Intraoperative fluoroscopy may be used to evaluate acetabular cup placement. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of purely visual estimation of cup inclination and anteversion using intraoperative fluoroscopy, considering different surgeon experience levels and cup designs.
