Results of total hip replacement using the Robodoc surgical assistant system: clinical outcome and evaluation of complications for 97 procedures
Abstract
Background: A computerized robotic surgical system was developed from 1986 by the Thomas J. Watson Research Center. In 1992 the system unit Orthodoc® and the milling robot Robodoc® were first used on humans. We present the results achieved with Robodoc‐assisted total hip arthroplasty in 97 hips. Methods: Between 1997 and 2002, 143 total hip replacements (128 patients) were performed using the Robodoc system. This is a consecutive series. Complete follow‐up was possible in 97 hips at a mean follow‐up period of 3.8 years. Results: Technical complications directly related to the robotic device occurred in nine cases (9.3%). The pre‐operative Merle d'Aubigne score was determined at 8.1 points compared to a post‐operative mean score of 16.2. There was no sign of femoral stem loosening on radiographs. Conclusions: Robotic‐assisted total hip arthroplasty with the Orthodoc/ Robodoc system achieves equal results as compared to a manual technique. However, there was a high number of technical complications directly or indirectly related to the robot. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
