If I Had a Hammer: The Role of Automated Impactors in Transforming Total Hip Arthroplasty Procedures and Recovery

The integration of an automated impactor system in THA surgeries offers significant benefits for both surgeon well-being and patient outcomes, including improved hip function, greater daily mobility, and increased walking distance. The study's innovative use of mobile sensing and wearable technologies provides a robust framework for understanding the impacts of surgical innovations in real-world settings.
