Robotic and conventional THA may have similar functional outcomes

LAS VEGAS — Results presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting showed robotic total hip arthroplasty may have similar functional outcomes compared with conventional THA.
Andreas Fontalis, MD, MSc, MRCS, and colleagues collected the Oxford Hip Score, the University of California Los Angeles Hip Score and Forgotten Joint Score preoperatively and at a minimum 3-year follow-up among 100 patients who underwent either conventional (n=50) or robotic (n=50) THA.
At 3-year follow-up, Fontalis noted no statistically significant differences between the conventional and
