Summary
This study demonstrates that image-free robotic total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a viable option for complex acetabular fractures. The technique, using a reamer basket, achieved excellent cup positioning and positive patient outcomes in an acute trauma case.
Area of Science:
- Orthopaedic Surgery
- Robotic Surgery
- Trauma Management
Background:
- Complex acetabular fractures with hip dislocations are orthopaedic emergencies.
- Traditional treatment often involves open reduction and internal fixation.
- Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is sometimes indicated for acute acetabular fractures.
