OrthoPilot total hip arthroplasty workflow and surgery.

To analyze the workflow and navigation principles of the OrthoPilot total hip arthroplasty (THA) Version 2.0 (B. Braun-Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany), a consecutive series of 60 patients was used to compare the navigated intraoperative data and postoperative measurements of stem and cup position. Within the safe zone, 96.3% of 54 acetabular cups were positioned. The rotational accuracy of femoral instruments was 65 degrees in 41 THAs. The femoral offset was medialized by 6.05 mm in 76% and lateralized by 2.1 mm in 14%. The data for leg length and range of motion from 60 THAs and the navigated data were similar. Thus, the first clinical validation of the workflow of the OrthoPilot THA Version 2.0 is encouraging.
