Abstract

Instability remains the leading cause of reoperation following total hip arthroplasty (THA). In this article, the risk factors for instability after THA are reviewed, including patient-related characteristics, surgical techniques, positioning of implants, and the role of advanced technology and robotics as a platform that may reduce the incidence of instability.

Keywords: Component position; Instability; Risk factors; Robotics; Total hip arthroplasty.
