CN-THA offers immediate advantages to M-THA for component placement accuracy and radiographic outcomes, though CN-THA's advantages become more pronounced with experience. Surgeons should anticipate longer operative times during the learning curve for CN-THA, which lessen following a modest caseload. A more thorough evaluation of novel computer-navigated technologies would be enhanced by adopting a more uniform method of defining learning curves for outcomes of interest.
