Abstract
This small series demonstrated the absence of major problems with the new navigation system. The length of the learning curve was acceptable. This study demonstrated that prior experience with navigation is beneficial because the learning curve with the new system was shorter and the accuracy of implantation was equivalent to that achieved with the prior system. Widespread use of computer-assisted surgery should enable continued improvement in ancillary systems in the upcoming years, particularly concerning rotatory position of the femoral implants, which is still a problem. Cost containment will also be a necessary goal.
