A quantitative analysis of the hip shuck test during robotic arm-assisted total hip arthroplasty
This study demonstrates that it is possible to quantify soft tissue tension using the shuck test during robotic-assisted THA. Restoring hip offset is crucial for optimising joint stability. Future research should establish a threshold for acceptable shuck length vector magnitude and correlate this with dislocation rates and patient reported outcomes.
