Robotic Arm-Assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty to Correct Leg Length Discrepancy in a Patient With Spinopelvic Obliquity.


ABSTRACT: Leg length discrepancy is not an uncommon result of total hip arthroplasty and a major cause of patient dissatisfaction. Spinopelvic obliquity is a less-recognized cause of limb length differences in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. The robotic arm has recently been introduced to enhance implant positioning during surgery and to achieve more predictable leg length and offset goals. In this article, we illustrate the case of a patient who presented with a leg length discrepancy associated with significant spinopelvic obliquity. We show the use of the robotic arm total hip application to improve her pelvic obliquity and limb length discrepancy. This approach helped with the patient's symptoms and gait as well as her radiographic pelvic alignment.
