Key result
Computer-assisted surgery, navigation, and robotics in hip arthroscopy are expected to upgrade surgical planning, decrease human error, and improve patient outcomes for femoroacetabular impingement.
Computer-assisted surgery, navigation, and robotics are expected to improve surgical planning, operative techniques, and patient outcomes in hip arthroscopy for FAI.
Should not yet change hip arthroscopy practice for FAI; leaves open confirmation of benefits in prospective trials.
In the last 15 years, hip arthroscopy has become increasingly popular in addressing femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) because of its minimally invasive approach. However, assessing the adequacy of bone resection when correcting FAI can be difficult because visualisation and spatial awareness of the joint are poor. Recent advances in technology in the field of computer-assisted surgery and navigation and robotic surgery in orthopaedics as a resource for preoperative planning and intraoperative assistance have been widely reported. This technology is expected to upgrade surgical planning and operative techniques, decrease human error and improve patient outcomes by precisely defining the divergent anatomy and kinematics of the hip joint. This review attempts to bring the reader up-to-date with the current developments in the field of computer assisted hip arthroscopy, and discusses our experience with pre-operative planning, navigation and robotics and also provides a platform for future research in this arena.

Nakano et al. (2018) conducted a review in Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Computer-assisted hip arthroscopy, navigation, and robotics was evaluated. Computer-assisted surgery, navigation, and robotics in hip arthroscopy are expected to upgrade surgical planning, decrease human error, and improve patient outcomes for femoroacetabular impingement.
