This is the first robotic arm for hip prosthesoplasty that does not require additional computed tomography and previous diagnostic tests. The whole procedure takes place intraoperatively, and the arm allows for the most optimal setting of the hip prosthesis with minimal risk of dislocations, minimal limb length difference after surgery, and optimisation of implants in relation to the experience and surgical skills of doctors. Everything is done with the help of intraoperative x-ray coupled with the robot. (mr) PAP/Albert Zawada
