The purpose of this study was to report minimum 2-year outcomes and complications for robotic-arm-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA).Data were prospectively collected retrospectively reviewed between June 2011 April 2014. Inclusion criteria primary THAs treating idiopathic osteoarthritis with ≥ follow-up. Demographics, operating time, complications, outcome scores satisfaction, subsequent surgeries recorded.There 181 cases eligible inclusion, which 162 (89.5%) had At the latest follow-up, mean visual analogue scale 0.7, satisfaction 9.3, Harris score 91.1 forgotten joint 83.1. Six (3.7%) intraoperative six postoperative reported. No leg length discrepancies (LLDs) or dislocations reported.Robotic-arm-assisted THA demonstrates favourable short-term does not result in a higher complication rate compared non-robotic as reported by literature.
