Abstract 

Fourteen femoral stems were implanted either manually by an experienced surgeon or by a robot in fresh human cadaveric femora. The neck-shaft angle, the anteversion, the length of the femoral neck and the gap between stem and bone was measured in each specimen. Implantation by robot showed higher precision in reconstructing the true anatomic situation as well as providing a better press fit.
