The Growing Role of Navigation in THA
While navigation technology is proven to improve the accuracy of cup positioning in total hip arthroplasty (THA), it remains underutilised, with only about 6% of procedures worldwide using computer navigation. The increasing availability of navigation devices reflects a broader shift toward precision in orthopaedic surgery, yet adoption has been slow due to concerns such as learning curves and surgical time.
Assessing the Accuracy of Navbit Sprint®
This study reviewed three independent evaluations of the Navbit Sprint®, a portable, accelerometer-based navigation system designed for cup positioning in THA. By examining its accuracy across multiple clinical settings, the research aimed to determine its reliability and potential to enhance surgical precision—supporting its broader adoption as an efficient, effective navigation solution.
