Abstract
Computer-assisted Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery using the HipNav surgical navigational system was evaluated. This summary reports on the first 100 HipNav clinical trial patients and focuses on: 1) patient demographics, 2) post-operative clinical outcomes, 3) incision length measurements, 4) mechanical guide measures, and 5) functional pelvic tilt measurements. Results from this clinical trial have shown no system-related complications, an improvement in post-operative clinical outcomes, reductions in soft tissue dissection, an unreliability of traditional mechanical alignment guides, and a variability of pelvic orientation during functional activity.
