MAKO Robotic Assisted Total Hip Replacement (THR) for Patients with Fused Hips

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Background

: Previous articles about MAKO robotic-assisted total hip replacement (THR) were mainly in patients with comparatively normal anatomy.

Methods

: From July 2020 to June 2021, we performed MAKO robotic-assisted THR in three hip-fused patients. We assessed the accuracy of prostheses implantation, collected clinical data, and discussed the value of this technique in this kind of patients.

Result

: All three patients achieved good leg length and prostheses position. A patient got femoral artery injury during the surgery. Moreover, she developed a thrombus. All three patients got acceptable Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores and function recovery six months later.

Conclusion

: MAKO robotic-assisted THR achieved excellent prosthesis position in hip fused patients. More cases are needed to confirm this advantage. The function recovery was acceptable. Caution should be paid to protect the surrounding abnormal arteries, especially in a limited surgical field.
