Article Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether noise that is generated during manual and robotic-assisted total joint arthroplasty (TJA) differs and if that noise exceeds the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) action limits.
Methods: Personal dosimeters were used to record the decibel (dB) level during manual and robotic-assisted total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). The primary surgeon wore the dosimeter on their person. All robotic procedures were performed with the use of image-based robotic arm aided technique. Peak decibel levels (LCPeak) and continuous decibel levels (LAeq) were captured in each procedure. 2-tailed student T-test was calculated to evaluate a difference between LAeq and LCPeak values between groups. An exposure calculator was used to calculate the 8-h Time-Weighted-Average (TWA).
Results: A total of 40 procedures were recorded; 10 for each robotic and manual THA and TKA. The mean LAeq dB levels for the robotic THA and TKA were 71.4 (SD 1.9) and 69.7 (SD 2.3) dB, and for manual THA and TKA levels were 69.8 (SD 2.4) and 71.3 (SD 2.4) dB. The max LCPeak decibel in each group did not exceed the OSHA peak sound pressure limit. Average LCPeak values in manual THA were higher than robotic THA (P = 0.01). Manual and robotic TKA values showed no difference. No groups exceeded the 8-h TWA limit.
Conclusion: TJA surgeons have significant noise exposure during surgery regardless of surgical technique; however, peak sound pressures and 8-h TWA dB levels discovered during mTJA and rTJA did not exceed OSHA limits.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the standard surgical treatment for end-stage hip osteoarthritis, with its success dependent on precise preoperative planning, which, in turn, relies on accurate three-dimensional segmentation and reconstruction of the periarticular bone of the hip joint. However, patients with hip osteoarthritis often exhibit pathological characteristics, such as joint space narrowing, femoroacetabular impingement, osteophyte formation, and joint deformity. These changes present significant challenges for traditional manual or semi-automatic segmentation methods.

Introduction: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) poses challenges for component positioning during total hip arthroplasty (THA) secondary to abnormal bone morphology, soft-tissue contractures, and hip center migration. The objective of this study was to evaluate the radiographic and clinical outcomes of THA for DDH performed with robotic assistance versus manual (M) technique.
Methods: A retrospective review identified 115 patients with Crowe II to IV dysplasia undergoing primary THA at a single institution from 2016 to 2022.

Background: Robotic assistance in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased, but the influence on outcomes compared to manual THA remains uncertain. With the growing emphasis on reducing opioid consumption after arthroplasty, we studied whether robotic assistance was associated with length of stay (LOS), pain, and opioid use after THA.
Materials And Methods: We included 14,501 opioid-naïve patients who underwent THA at a single institution between 2019 and 2023 (8900 manual and 5601 robotic).

Background: Joint awareness reflects patient satisfaction and prosthesis integration after arthroplasty. This study aimed to evaluate joint awareness differences between robotic-assisted joint arthroplasty (R-JA) and manual joint arthroplasty (M-JA) across various joint sites and follow-up periods.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in four major databases for studies published between January 1, 2012, and February 1, 2025.
In Vivo Wear Analysis of Third- Versus Second-Generation Moderately Crosslinked Polyethylene Liners in Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Background: Prior studies have reported low rates of wear associated with crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) liners used in total hip arthroplasty (THA), but no studies have compared the in vivo performance of second- and third-generation XLPE liners. The purpose of this study was to compare the in vivo wear profile and corresponding odds of developing osteolysis associated with second- and third-generation liners.
Methods: Patients receiving a second- or third-generation XLPE liner during primary THA were reviewed.
