Summary

Robot-assisted surgery for total hip replacement (RAS-THR) demonstrates acceptable geometric accuracy, with variations within 0.5 mm and 0.3 degrees. Individual steps contribute similarly to the overall precision, and tested systems show comparable results.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Robotics in Medicine
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • Robot-assisted surgery for total hip replacement (RAS-THR) is increasingly adopted in Europe.
  • Limited data exists on the overall geometric accuracy of the complete RAS-THR procedure.
  • Manufacturers often provide accuracy data only for specific system components.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the overall geometric accuracy of the entire RAS-THR process.
  • To assess the impact of individual procedural steps on overall accuracy.
  • To compare the accuracy of different robotic systems used in THR.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an anthropomorphic phantom simulating the hip and upper leg.
  • Execution of the complete RAS-THR procedure on the phantom.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Utilizing ROBODOC and CASPAR robotic systems for the investigations.

    • Main Results:

    • The overall geometric accuracy of the RAS-THR process was within 0.5 mm and 0.3 degrees standard deviation.
    • Individual procedural steps contributed relatively equally to the overall variation.
    • The ROBODOC and CASPAR systems exhibited comparable accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • The RAS-THR process appears to be acceptably accurate based on initial findings.
    • Formal acceptance criteria for geometric accuracy in RAS-THR have not yet been established.
