DOI 10.1002/jor.20376 ABSTRACT: The ROBODOC system has provided better fit and fill of the stem and less destructionof the bony architecture than with manual surgery. These benefits might affect femoralperiprosthetic bone remodeling. We evaluated the effects of robotic milling in cementless total hiparthroplasty (THA) in a longitudinal 24-month follow-up study using dual energy X-rayabsorptiometry (DEXA) and plain radiographs of 29 patients (31 hips) after ROBODOC THA and24 patients (27 hips) after manual THA with the same stem design. To minimize the influence of otherfactors on bone remodeling, only female osteoarthritis patients, who had no drugs that might affectbone metabolism were enrolled. Significantly less bone loss occurred at the proximal periprostheticareas in the ROBODOC group. In zone 1, the decrease was 15.5 versus 29.9% using conventionalrasping; in zone 7, the loss was 17.0% with ROBODOC compared to 30.5% with conventional rasping(p < 0.05). On radiographs, endosteal spot welds in the proximal medial portion were morepronounced in the ROBODOC group (48 vs. 11% in the conventional group, p < 0.05). Our resultssuggest that robotic milling is effective in facilitating proximal load transfer around the femoralcomponent and minimizing bone loss after cementless THA. ß 2007 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Bone thermal damage may be less evident in a primary THA using the ROBODOC system since there is no need to remove cement or to mill sclerotic bone from previous primary surgery.
We did not compare the time to recovery of walking ability postoperatively between the two groups, although time might influence peripros- thetic bone remodeling. One report showed that late weight bearing resulted in a large reduction inBMD around the stem.28 However, we previouslyfound no significant difference comparing roboticand manual surgery with respect to the time the distal zones 4 and 5 of the ROBODOC group required to regain the ability to walk more than were better partly because bony architecture was six blocks without a cane.29 Thus, weight bearing was not considered to be associated with the Heat damage by robotic milling may adversely difference of bone remodeling between the two groups in this study.
