Abstract
Background: With the increasing demand for total hip arthroplasty (THA) and the inevitable trend of orthopedic robots and artificial intelligence in the future, it is necessary to explore the safety and effectiveness of orthopedic robots in THA. Currently, most orthopedic robots are in the early stages of development, and evaluating their clinical efficacy can assist in making informed decisions for practical use.
Objective: To explore the advantages of 7 types of robot-assisted THA with respect to 5 indicators.
Methods: Literature from databases such as CNKI, PubMed, and Web of Science was retrieved up to July 17, 2024. Literature evaluation was conducted via Review Manager 5.4, and a network meta-analysis was performed via RStudio (version 4.4.1).
Results: A total of 17 studies involving 1741 patients were included. In direct comparisons, the operation time was longer for MAKO (MD = 19; CI = 6.7, 31), TRex (MD = 37, CI = 20, 54) and YUANHUA (MD = 35, CI = 4.2, 66) than for C-THA. The leg length discrepancy (LLD) was smaller for TRex (MD = -3.4, CI = -6.6, -0.36) and RO (MD = -4.3, CI = -8.7, -0.064) than for C-THA. In the comprehensive best probability ranking, operation time [C-THA (96%) > TJ (68%) > RO (53.2%) > MAKO (53%) > LA (45%) > YU (21%) > TR (13%)], blood loss [TJ (89%) > C-THA (50%) > LA (49%) > YU (42%) > MAKO (20%)], LLD [RO (83%) > TR (75%) > MAKO (61%) > TJ (51%) > YU (43%) > JJ (40%) > C-THA (24%) > LA (22%)], HHS [RO (65%) > C-THA (55%) > LA (51%) > TR (50%) > JJ (48%) > YU (46%) > MAKO (37%)], and infection [TJ (77%) > C-THA (67%) > MAKO (44%) > RO (10%)].
Conclusion: Each of the seven types of RA-THA and C-THA has its own advantages, with TJ and RO RA-THA being slightly more prominent. Overall, in terms of safety and effectiveness, RA-THA is generally superior to C-THA, although further development is still needed.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of clinical and basic research studies related to musculoskeletal issues.
Orthopaedic research is conducted at clinical and basic science levels. With the advancement of new technologies and the increasing expectation and demand from doctors and patients, we are witnessing an enormous growth in clinical orthopaedic research, particularly in the fields of traumatology, spinal surgery, joint replacement, sports medicine, musculoskeletal tumour management, hand microsurgery, foot and ankle surgery, paediatric orthopaedic, and orthopaedic rehabilitation. The involvement of basic science ranges from molecular, cellular, structural and functional perspectives to tissue engineering, gait analysis, automation and robotic surgery. Implant and biomaterial designs are new disciplines that complement clinical applications.
JOSR encourages the publication of multidisciplinary research with collaboration amongst clinicians and scientists from different disciplines, which will be the trend in the coming decades.
