Roboticassisted surgery and navigation dont affect infection risk after hip arthroplasty Study

For patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA), the use of robotic-assisted surgery and surgical navigation techniques is not associated with an increased risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), suggests a study in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery. The research was led by Alberto V. Carli, MD, and colleagues of Hospital for Special Surgery, New York.
