Prepared by Dr. Kayahan KARAYTUG Key Points Overview Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a highly successful and cost-effective procedure that reliably improves pain, function, and quality of life in patients with debilitating hip pathology. The most common indication is hip osteoarthritis, followed by osteonecrosis, congenital/developmental disorders, inflammatory arthropathies, and post-traumatic degeneration. Anatomy and Biomechanics The…
Prepared by Dr. Kayahan KARAYTUG 1) Overview Robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (R-THA) uses computer planning and robotic guidance (most commonly robotic-arm + haptic boundary control) to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of component placement and restoration of hip biomechanics. Goal: optimize cup position, leg length, offset, and combined anteversion, while reducing variability compared with manual…
Prepared by Dr. Kayahan KARAYTUG Overview Preoperative digital templating is a cornerstone of modern total hip arthroplasty (THA). It enables accurate restoration of hip biomechanics, facilitates implant selection, and reduces intraoperative uncertainty. Despite advances in imaging, digital templating remains subject to technical and anatomical limitations. Objectives of THA Templating Digital templating in THA aims to:…
Prepared by Dr. Savas CAMUR Despite advances in implant design, surgical technique, and perioperative protocols, instability continues to challenge both surgeons and patients.Hip dislocation remains one of the most feared complications following total hip arthroplasty (THA), associated with higher morbidity, increased healthcare costs, and up to 25% of all revision procedures. Hip Dislocations and Instability…
Prepared by Dr. Savas CAMUR Vancouver B2 fractures—those with a loose stem but adequate bone stock—remain the most debated subtype in terms of optimal management, with recent meta-analyses redefining treatment algorithms.Periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPF) represent one of the most challenging complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Their incidence is rising sharply worldwide, driven by increasing…
Prepared by Dr. Kayahan KARAYTUG Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty (rTHA) addresses failure or complications of primary hip arthroplasty, including aseptic loosening, periprosthetic fracture, infection, and instability. As primary THA volumes increase globally, rTHA has become more common. Outcomes depend on etiology, implant selection, and restoration of biomechanics rather than mere component replacements. Revision Hip Arthroplasty …
