Abstract

This study compared differences in (1) task duration; (2) biometric parameters (ie, caloric energy expenditure, heart rate); and (3) subjective measures of mental as well as physical demand of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) and manual THA. A total of 12 THAs were performed on 6 cadaveric specimens by two surgeons using a wearable technology to track biometric parameters and taking a questionnaire to compare the physical and mental demands. The results of our study suggest that as compared with manual techniques, robotic assistance for THA may reduce mental and physical fatigue.
