[PMID: 34495893 PMCID: PMC8673979 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000001923] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lumbar-pelvic stiffness and sagittal imbalance have been reported to increase the risk of dislocation and wear after THA. One potential way to approach this concern is by identifying patient-specific safe zones for THA components based on the standing and sitting sagittal pelvic tilt. However, there is no algorithm to integrate the standing and sitting pelvic tilt into the surgical plan of component orientations. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We established a new mathematical algorithm for determining a patient-specific safe zone for THA by integrating the impingement-free ROM requirements of standing and sitting while preventing edge loading while standing. We aimed to determine (1) the accuracy of this new method for predicting the impingement-free ROM for a given component orientation, (2) the sensitivity and specificity of detecting an impingement-free acetabular cup position for standing and sitting, and (3) the influences of key factors including pelvic tilt while standing and pelvic tilt while sitting and implant parameters on patient-specific safe zones. METHODS A strategy for calculating the intersection of standing and sitting impingement-free safe zones and the zone of a standing radiographic inclination of ≤ 45° was used to develop patient-specific safe zones. We conducted a computer simulation study including the pelvis and THA prosthesis to answer the three study questions. We enrolled 10 patients who underwent robot-assisted THA for avascular necrosis of the femoral head (mean age 49 ± 19 years; five were women) from October 2019 to December 2019. We used a prosthesis model with a conical stem neck and a non-hooded liner, with the femoral head diameter ranging between 28 mm and 40 mm, and the corresponding head-neck ratio ranging between 2.33 and 3.33. We tested 1680 movements for the accuracy of impingement-free ROM (Question 1), and 80 marginal points and 120 non-marginal points of the comprehensive impingement-free safe zone, which combines the standing and sitting postures (Question 2). For Question 3, we explored the influences of standing and sitting pelvic tilt, femoral head diameter, and ROM criteria on the size of the patient-specific safe zone. RESULTS With the simulation method as a reference for detecting impingement, the mean absolute error (arithmetic mean of all the absolute errors) of the calculated impingement-free ROM was 1.4° ± 2.3°, and the limit of agreement of errors was between -3.6° and 3.7°. The sensitivity of detecting a safe cup orientation within the comprehensive impingement-free safe zone for a given ROM criterion was 98.9% (95% CI 93.6% to 99.9%), and specificity was 97.1% (95% CI 91.0% to 99.2%). There were no impingement-free safe zones for 29% (pelvic tilt combinations without an impingement-free safe zone and all tested combinations) and no patient-specific safe zones for 46% (pelvic tilt combinations without a patient-specific safe zone and all tested combinations) of the tested combinations of standing and sitting pelvic tilt. The patient-specific safe zone was sensitive to changes in standing and sitting pelvic tilt, femoral head diameter, stem version, and ROM criteria. Stem anteversions beyond 10° to 20° dramatically reduced the size of the patient-specific safe zone to 0 within a change of 10° to 20°. CONCLUSION The patient-specific safe zone algorithm can be an accurate method for determining the optimal orientation for acetabular cups and femoral stems in THA. The patient-specific safe zone is sensitive to changes in standing and sitting pelvic tilt, stem version, ROM criteria, and the femoral head diameter. A narrow zone of 10° to 20° for stem anteversion is recommended to maximize the size of the patient-specific safe zone. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study suggests the potential of a mathematical algorithm to optimize the orientation of THA components and illustrates how key parameters affect the patient-specific safe zone.

Abstract
Background After total hip arthroplasty, dislocation can occur when a patient unexpectedly assumes internal/external limb positions, even during chair-rising, which is a frequently activity of daily life. Therefore, determining the target cup position to avoid impingement in unexpected limb positions using in vivo data of daily life activities is critical. Methods A computer simulation was performed on 21 total hip arthroplasty patients using patient-specific component placements and hip kinematics obtained during chair-rising analysis using image-matching techniques. The liner-to-neck distance and impingement were evaluated by simulating the change in internal/external rotation angle at maximum hip flexion/extension from 0 to 90°. The cutoff values of cup anteversion and combined anteversion at 60° of internal/external rotation were determined. Findings The anterior/posterior liner-to-neck distances were negatively correlated with internal/external rotation angles (r = -0.82 and -0.78, respectively) and decreased by 1.7 and 1.8 mm for every 15° increase, respectively. Three cases (14%) of anterior/posterior impingement were observed at 60° of internal/external rotation angle, respectively. The cutoff values for cup anteversion and combined anteversion to avoid impingement at 60° of internal/external rotation angle were 12°-25°/38°-62°, respectively. The stem anteversion, adjustable by cup anteversion to meet both the target cup anteversion and combined anteversion, was 13°-50°. Interpretation Simulated unintentional internal or external hip rotation, even during chair-rising, caused impingement and posed a dislocation risk. If the stem anteversion is excessively small or large in meeting the target combined anteversion, adjustments to stem anteversion could be recommended in addition to adjustments in cup anteversion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy (SSO) is commonly performed in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for high hip dislocation. However, this procedure is technically difficult and includes complications. Additional neck cut (ANC) of the femur is a procedure that involves femoral shortening by possibly eliminating the need for SSO in THA for high hip dislocation. Herein, we evaluated the effect and the depth limit of ANC of the femur on the range of motion (ROM) in THA for high hip dislocation. METHODS ROM was measured in 26 patients with high hip dislocation using computer software. The stem was deeply positioned at 5-mm intervals from 0 mm to 30 mm (7 groups). The ROM before impingement was measured during flexion, internal rotation (IR) at 90° flexion, external rotation (ER) and abduction. Receiver operator coefficient (ROC) curves for abduction were generated. The cut-off value of ANC where the required ROM was achieved was also determined. RESULTS Deeper ANCs increased the ROM values during flexion and IR, but they decreased the ROM values during ER and abduction. The ROM values during ER were also limited in 0-mm ANCs. According to the result of the ROC curve for abduction, 15 mm was considered as the permissible range of ANC. CONCLUSIONS In THA for high hip dislocation additional neck cut should be taken into consideration for hips requiring less than 15-mm shortening. For more extended corrections a subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy should be performed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dislocation remains a major complication in total hip arthroplasty (THA), in which femoral component orientation is considered a key parameter. New imaging modalities and definitions on femoral component orientation have been introduced, describing orientation in different planes. This study aims to systematically review the relevance of the different orientation parameters on implant stability. METHODS A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines to identify articles in the PubMed and EMBASE databases that study the relation between any femoral component orientation parameters and implant stability in primary THA. RESULTS After screening for inclusion and exclusion criteria and quality assessment, nine articles were included. Definitions to describe the femoral component orientation and methodologies to assess its relevance for implant stability differed greatly, with lack of consensus. Seven retrospective case-control studies reported on the relevance of the transversal plane orientation: Low femoral- or low combined femoral and acetabular anteversion was statistical significantly related with more posterior dislocations, and high femoral- or combined femoral and acetabular anteversion with anterior dislocations in two studies. There were insufficient data on sagittal and coronal component orientation in relation to implant stability. CONCLUSION Because of incomparable definitions, limited quality and heterogeneity in methodology of the included studies, there is only weak evidence that the degree of transverse component version is related with implant stability in primary THA. Recommendations about the optimal orientation of the femoral component in all three anatomical planes cannot be provided. Future studies should uniformly define the three-dimensional orientation of the femoral component and systematically describe implant stability.

Similar Biomechanical Behavior in Gait Analysis between Ceramic-on-Ceramic and Ceramic-on-XLPE Total Hip Arthroplasties. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11121366.

Abstract
In vitro measurements are widely used to implement gait kinematic and kinetic parameters to predict THA wear rate. Clinical tests of materials and designs are crucial to prove the accuracy and validate such measurements. This research aimed to examine the effect of CoC and CoXLPE kinematics and kinetics on wear during gait, the essential functional activity of humans, by comparing in vivo data to in vitro results. Our study hypothesis was that both implants would present the same hip joint kinematics and kinetics during gait. In total, 127 unilateral primary cementless total hip arthroplasties were included in the research. There were no statistically significant differences observed at mean peak abduction, flexion, and extension moments and THA kinematics between the two groups. THA gait kinematics and kinetics are crucial biomechanical inputs associated with implant wear. In vitro studies report less wear in CoC than CoXLPE when tested in a matched gait kinematic protocol. Our findings confirm that both implants behave identically in terms of kinematics in a clinical environment, thus strengthening CoC advantage in in vitro results. Correlated to all other significant factors that affect THA wear, it could address in a complete prism the wear on CoC and CoXLPE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inadequate stem version might lead to impingement and instability after cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). We evaluated (1) the distribution of short-stem anteversion, (2) the proportion of stems with an anteversion less than 5° or larger than 25°, (3) combined cup and stem anteversion, and (4) dislocation rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated the native femoral anteversion and stem anteversion in 340 patients (340 THAs): 144 men and 196 women. Their mean age was 56.2 (22-87) years and mean body mass index was 25.1 (15.2-40.7) kg/m2. The femoral neck anteversion was measured on pre-operative CT scan and the stem anteversion was obtained during the operation. The safe zone of the stem anteversion was defined as 5 to 25°. RESULTS The femoral neck anteversion ranged from -15 to 61° (mean, 15.0°; SD, ±10.6°). The stem anteversion ranged -7 to 50° (mean, 15.7°; SD, ±9.5°). It was optimal (5-25°) in 71.2% (242/340), insufficient (<5°) in 13.3% (45/340), and excessive (>25°) in 15.6% (53/340). The stem anteversion had a medium correlation with the femoral neck anteversion (correlation coefficient = 0.449). The combined anteversion was 42.0° (range, 35.2-52.3°; SD, ±2.8°). During two to four year follow-up, no hip dislocated. CONCLUSIONS Short-length stem had a great variability in the anteversion and considerable portion (28.9%, 98/340) of stems had an anteversion outside the safe zone. Surgeons should be aware of this variability of stem anteversion to compensate for abnormal stem anteversion, which might lead to impingement and instability after THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a minimally invasive (MI) approach is a commonly performed procedure, and several approaches are now being used clinically. The MI anterolateral (MIAL) approach is one of the MI approaches used in clinical practice. Whether the MIAL approach is superior to non-MI approaches remains controversial. To resolve this controversy, we performed a systematic review and a meta-analysis of results of THA procedures that used the MIAL approach. We assessed whether the MIAL approach was superior to the lateral transmuscular (LT) approach in terms of operative time, operative blood loss, radiological parameters, and clinical outcomes. METHODS We performed a methodical search for all literature published on PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, and pooled data using the RevMan software. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. We calculated the mean differences (MD) for continuous data with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for each outcome. RESULTS This meta-analysis included 6 studies. Pooled results indicated no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of operative time (MD = 5.13, 95% CI -2.49 to 12.75, p = 0.19), cup abduction angle (MD = 1.64, 95% CI -1.32 to 4.60, p = 0.28), and cup anteversion angle (MD = 0.75, 95% CI -1.09 to 2.59, p = 0.43). Operative blood loss was significantly greater in those who underwent THA via the MIAL approach than those who underwent THA via the LT approach (MD = 68.01, 95% CI 14.69 to 121.33, p = 0.01). The postoperative Harris hip score (HHS) assessed at the time of final follow-up was significantly higher in those who underwent THA via the MIAL approach than those who underwent THA via the LT approach (MD = 1.41, 95% CI 0.50 to 2.33, p = 0.002). CONCLUSION We conclude that the MIAL approach is superior to the LT approach in terms of clinical outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level Ⅱ.

Abstract
Background Acetabular prosthesis positioning in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is crucial in reducing the risk of dislocation. There has been minimal research on the proper way to put the acetabular components into the safe zone intraoperatively. Assessment of version by intraoperative imaging intensifier is very valuable. The value of Widmer’s method, using the intraoperative C-arm available to determine cup anteversion was assessed. Methods One hundred one hips in 91 patients who underwent primary THA were eligible for inclusion. Utilizing intraoperative C-arm images, measurement was performed using the technique described by Widmer. The values obtained using 3D computed tomography postoperatively, which determined the anteversion of the acetabular component, were regarded as the reference standard. Results The method of Widmer obtained values similar to those obtained using 3D computed tomography and was considered accurate (n.s.). All 101 hips were positioned in the set target zone. Among the 101 hips, the cup position in nine hips (8.9%) was changed. The dislocation rate in our study was 1.0% with all dislocations occurring in hips placed in the target zone. The mean Harris hip score after THA in 1 year was 94.2 (82-98). Conclusions The method of Widmer was accurate using intraoperative imaging intensifier for the measurement of the anteversion of the acetabular component during THA, with reference to the anteversion obtained from the 3D computed tomography. Also, utilizing intraoperative C-arm imaging was very useful because it allowed for correction of the position of the acetabular cup.

Postoperative excessive external femoral rotation in revision total hip arthroplasty is associated with muscle weakness in iliopsoas and gluteus medius and risk for hip dislocation. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:582. [PMID: 34627309 PMCID: PMC8501690 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02744-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Excessive external femoral rotation (FR) can functionally increase stem anteversion (SA) and is often observed at an early stage after surgery in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of external FR, identify the factors associated with external FR, and determine the association of FR and other factors with hip dislocation in revision THA. Methods We enrolled 51 revision THA patients (55 hip cases). The patient background, angle of anatomical and functional SA, FR angle, sizes and densities of muscles around the hip joint, impingement distance, and consequence of postoperative hip dislocation were assessed by reviewing their medical history and imaging data that includes computed tomography (CT) scans before and after surgery. Results Forty-five hip cases (81.8%) showed external FR (mean 13.0°). External FR was significantly correlated with anatomical SA (r = − 0.54) and increase in functional SA (r = 0.36), which was significantly correlated with impingement distance (r = 0.46). The independent factors associated with external FR in multivariate analysis were the anatomical SA, CT densities of the psoas, gluteus medius and maximus muscles, and 2-stage revision (R2 = 0.559). During follow-up period, eight cases of revision THA showed hip dislocation. FR, functional SA, impingement distance, CT density of psoas and gluteus medius muscle, body mass index, number of past operation, and ratio of 2-stage revision THA were significantly different between cases with dislocation and non-dislocation. The odds ratio of FR and impingement distance for hip dislocation was identified as 1.061(95% confidence interval (CI): 1.011–1.114) and 0.901 (95% CI 0.820–0.991), respectively. Conclusions Revision THA frequently causes an external FR that functionally increases the SA and impingement risk, particularly in hips with 2-stage revision with psoas and gluteus medius muscle atrophy. Patients who have undergone revision THA and have an excessive external FR may require careful monitoring for possible hip dislocation due to hip joint instability and impingement.

Abstract
PURPOSE Dislocation is a major complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and pelvic stiffness is reportedly a significant risk factor for dislocation. This study aimed to investigate spinopelvic alignment, and identify preoperative factors associated with postoperative pelvic mobility. METHODS We enrolled 78 THA patients with unilateral osteoarthritis. The sagittal spinopelvic alignment in the standing and sitting position was measured using an EOS imaging system before and 3 months after THA. We evaluated postoperative pelvic mobility, and defined cases with less than 10° of sacral slope change as pelvic stiff type. The preoperative characteristics of those with postoperative stiff type, and preoperative factors associated with risk of postoperative stiff type were evaluated. RESULTS Sagittal spinopelvic alignment except for lumbar alignment were significantly changed after THA.A total of 13 patients (17%) were identified as postoperative pelvic stiff type. Preoperative lower pelvic and lumbar mobility were determined as significant factors for prediction of postoperative pelvic stiff type. Among these patients, nine patients (69%) did not have pelvic stiffness before THA. Preoperative factor associated with the risk of postoperative pelvic stiff type in those without preoperative stiffness was lower lumbar lordosis in standing position by multivariate regression analysis. CONCLUSION Spinopelvic alignments except lumber alignment was significantly changed after THA. The lower pelvic mobility and lumbar alignment were identified as the preoperative predictive factors for postoperative pelvic mobility. Evaluation of preoperative lumbar alignment may be especially useful for the prediction in patients with hip contractures, for these patients may possibly experience the extensive perioperative change in pelvic mobility.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of implant placement with robotic-arm assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS The study analyzed a consecutive series of 69 patients who underwent robotic-arm assisted THA between September 2018 and December 2019. Of these, 30 patients had DDH and were classified according to the Crowe type. Acetabular component alignment and 3D positions were measured using pre- and postoperative CT data. The absolute differences of cup alignment and 3D position were compared between DDH and non-DDH patients. Moreover, these differences were analyzed in relation to the severity of DDH. The discrepancy of leg length and combined offset compared with contralateral hip were measured. RESULTS The mean values of absolute differences (postoperative CT-preoperative plan) were 1.7° (standard deviation (SD) 2.0) (inclination) and 2.5° (SD 2.1°) (anteversion) in DDH patients, and no significant differences were found between non-DDH and DDH patients. The mean absolute differences for 3D cup position were 1.1 mm (SD 1.0) (coronal plane) and 1.2 mm (SD 2.1) (axial plane) in DDH patients, and no significant differences were found between two groups. No significant difference was found either in cup alignment between postoperative CT and navigation record after cup screws or in the severity of DDH. Excellent restoration of leg length and combined offset were achieved in both groups. CONCLUSION We demonstrated that robotic-assisted THA may achieve precise cup positioning in DDH patients, and may be useful in those with severe DDH.

Interobserver and Intraobserver Reliabilities of Three-Dimensional Postoperative Evaluation Software in Total Hip Arthroplasty. Adv Orthop 2021; 2021:3705789. [PMID: 34567806 PMCID: PMC8463242 DOI: 10.1155/2021/3705789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In primary and revision total hip arthroplasty, to prevent perioperative complications, the prediction of the optimal implant size is essential. Using three-dimensional computed tomography-based postoperative evaluation software, we explored the accuracy and the precision of measurement of the size, alignment, and position of the prosthetic components after total hip arthroplasty. METHODS Using postoperative evaluation software, the postoperative computed tomography data from 20 hips in 20 patients were evaluated. The component size, alignment, and three-dimensional positioning of the cup and stem were assessed. The concordance rates of the component, repeatability (intraobserver reliability), and reproducibility (interobserver reliability) of postoperative evaluation were calculated. The radiographic inclination and radiographic anteversion of the cup, anteversion, varus-valgus angle, and flexion-extension angles of the stem were measured for alignment. The implant positioning was measured along three axes, namely, X-axis (transverse), Y-axis (sagittal), and Z-axis (longitudinal). RESULTS The concordance rates of all parts are above 94%. The intraobserver and interobserver intraclass correlation coefficients of alignment measurement were very good for both cup (0.879-0.964) and stem (0.973-0.996). The intraobserver and interobserver intraclass correlation coefficients of cup positioning were very good (0.961-0.987) for all axes. The intraobserver and interobserver intraclass correlation coefficients of implant positioning were very good for the stem (0.879-0.995) for all axes. CONCLUSIONS Computed tomography-based postoperative evaluation software was able to evaluate the size and position of total hip implants with high reproducibility.

Abstract
Objective
The objective of the present work was to compare the measurement of acetabular component version on anteroposterior (AP) and on cross-table radiographs after total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods
Radiographs of 60 hips with a primary THA were selected. Version was calculated on the AP radiograph using the Lewinnek method and, on the cross-table, using the Woo and Morrey direct method.
Results
Mean and standard deviation (SD) were different on both radiographs, being 9.7° ± 5.5° on the AP, whereas in the cross-table the measurements were 20.6° ± 8.4° (
p
< 0.001). Minding our aim of 10°, the cross-table measurements were statistically different from it (
p
< 0.001), while the AP measurement did not differ (
p
= 0.716).
Conclusion
The present study showed that the best way to correctly evaluate the acetabular component positioning following a THA is by measuring anteversion and abduction on an AP radiograph after confirming, in a cross-table radiograph, that the component is not retroverted.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of asymmetric crosslinked polyethylene liner use on the risk of revision of cementless and hybrid total hip arthroplasties (THAs). METHODS We undertook a registry study combining the National Joint Registry dataset with polyethylene manufacturing characteristics as supplied by the manufacturers. The primary endpoint was revision for any reason. We performed further analyses on other reasons including instability, aseptic loosening, wear, and liner dissociation. The primary analytic approach was Cox proportional hazard regression. RESULTS A total of 213,146 THAs were included in the analysis. Overall, 2,997 revisions were recorded, 1,569 in THAs with a flat liner and 1,428 in THAs using an asymmetric liner. Flat liner THAs had a higher risk of revision for any reason than asymmetric liner THAs when implanted through a Hardinge/anterolateral approach (hazard ratio (HR) 1.169, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.022 to 1.337) and through a posterior approach (HR 1.122, 95% CI 1.108 to 1.346). There was no increased risk of revision for aseptic loosening when asymmetric liners were used for any surgical approach. A separate analysis of the three most frequently used crosslinked polyethylene liners was in agreement with this finding. When analyzing THAs with flat liners only, THAs implanted through a Hardinge/anterolateral approach were associated with a reduced risk of revision for instability compared to posterior approach THAs (HR 0.561 (95% CI 0.446 to 0.706)). When analyzing THAs with an asymmetric liner, there was no significant difference in the risk of revision for instability between the two approaches (HR 0.838 (95% CI 0.633 to 1.110)). CONCLUSION For THAs implanted through the posterior approach, the use of asymmetric liners reduces the risk of revision for instability and revision for any reason. In THAs implanted through a Hardinge/anterolateral approach, the use of an asymmetric liner was associated with a reduced risk of revision. The effect on revision for instability was less pronounced than in the posterior approach. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(9):1479-1487.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The angle of acetabular (cup) radiographic inclination is an important measurement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures. Abnormal radiographic inclination is associated with dislocation, edge loading and higher failure rates. Consistently achieving a satisfactory radiographic inclination remains a challenge. Inclinometers have been increasingly used over the last decade. This paper reviews the literature to determine whether using an inclinometer improves the accuracy of acetabular cup inclination in THA. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed. The following search terms were used: ('hip' OR 'hip replacement' OR 'hip arthroplasty' OR 'primary hip replacement' OR 'THR' OR 'THA' OR 'Acetabular cup Inclination') AND ('Inclinometer'). Titles and abstracts were screened for relevance. Both radiographic and operative inclination comparisons were included. RESULTS 7 studies met the inclusion criteria. 2 were randomised control trials with level I evidence, and the remaining studies were cohort studies with level III/IV evidence. 5 were clinical and 2 experimental. In total there were 16 cohorts: 7 using an inclinometer, 6 freehand, and 3 using MAG techniques. All studies comparing radiographic inclination and 1 of 2 studies comparing operative inclination showed an improvement in the attainment of the optimal inclination. Similarly, the use of an inclinometer showed a reduction in the number of outliers when compared to MAG and freehand techniques. DISCUSSION This review demonstrates that using an inclinometer improved the surgeon's ability to achieve their intended inclination (both operative and radiographic) and reduced the incidence of positioning outside the safe-zone. However, only 2 of the studies were randomised control trials and these resulted in opposing conclusions. Therefore, further studies looking at the use of inclinometers would prove useful in understanding their true benefit.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between acetabular 3-dimensional (3D) alignment reorientation and clinical range of motion (ROM) after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). METHODS 50 patients (58 hips) with hip dysplasia participated in the study and underwent curved PAO. The pre- and postoperative 3D centre-edge (CE) angles and femoral anteversion were measured and compared with clinical outcomes, including postoperative ROM. RESULTS The correlation between pre- and postoperative acetabular coverage and postoperative ROM was evaluated. Postoperative abduction and internal rotation ROM were significantly associated with postoperative lateral CE angles (abduction; p < 0.001, internal rotation; p = 0.028); flexion and internal rotation ROM was significantly associated with postoperative anterior CE angles (flexion; p < 0.001, internal rotation; p = 0.028). Femoral anteversion was negatively correlated with postoperative abduction (p = 0.017) and external rotation (p = 0.047) ROM. CONCLUSION Postoperative anterior acetabular coverage may affect internal rotation ROM more than the lateral coverage. Therefore, the direction of acetabular reorientation should be carefully determined according to 3D alignment during PAO.

Abstract
Background Relevant criteria for total hip arthroplasty (THA) planning have been introduced in the literature which include the hip range of motion, bony coverage, anterior cup overhang, leg length discrepancy, edge loading risk, and wear. The optimal implant design and alignment depends on the patient’s anatomy and patient-specific functional parameters such as the pelvic tilt. The approaches proposed in literature often consider one or more criteria for THA planning. but to the best of our knowledge none of them follow an integrated approach including all criteria for the definition of a patient-specific combined target zone (PSCTZ). Questions/purposes (1) How can we calculate suitable THA implant and implantation parameters for a specific patient considering all relevant criteria? (2) Are the resulting target zones in the range of conventional safe zones? (3) Do patients who fulfil these combined criteria have a better outcome score? Methods A method is presented that calculates individual target zones based on the morphology, range of motion and load acting on the hip joint and merges them into the PSCTZ. In a retrospective analysis of 198 THA patients, it was calculated whether the patients were inside or outside the Lewinnek safe zone, Dorr combined anteversion range and PSCTZ. The postoperative Harris Hip Scores (HHS) between insiders and outsiders were compared. Results 11 patients were inside the PSCTZ. Patients inside and outside the PSCTZ showed no significant difference in the HHS. However, a significant higher HHS was observed for the insiders of two of the three sub-target zones incorporated in the PSCTZ. By combining the sub-target zones in the PSCTZ, all PSCTZ insiders except one had an HHS higher than 90. Conclusions The results might suggest that, for a prosthesis implanted in the PSCTZ a low outcome score of the patient is less likely than using the conventional safe zones by Lewinnek and Dorr. For future studies, a larger cohort of patients inside the PSCTZ is needed which can only be achieved if the cases are planned prospectively with the method introduced in this paper. Clinical Relevance The method presented in this paper could help the surgeon combining multiple different criteria during THA planning and find the suitable implant design and alignment for a specific patient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dislocation is one of the most common complications after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Combined anteversion (CA) is currently considered one of the most important measures of stability for THA. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the association between a correct CA after THA and hip prosthesis dislocation, and to analyze the reliability of the Lewinnek safe zone parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a non-interventional retrospective study, carried out at a tertiary hospital in Spain. 2489 primary THA in 2147 patients between January 2008 and December 2014 were identified. Clinical, biological and radiographic data, including cup inclination and cup and femoral anteversion, were analyzed of all patients who developed a hip prosthesis dislocation. RESULTS Thirty-four patients met the eligibility criteria to be analyzed. In 73.5% (25/34) of cases, acetabular anteversion (AV) was correct, with a mean AV of 15.1° ± 9.4°. Femoral anteversion (FA) was considered correct only in 38.2% (13/34) of the dislocated THA, with a mean FA of 8.4° ± 17.2°. Sixteen of these 34 patients (47.0%) presented a correct CA, with a mean CA of 24.2° ± 21.0°. Nineteen hips (55.8%) were within the Lewinnek safe zone. Moreover, eleven patients (32.3%) developed a dislocation even though components were within the Lewinnek safe zone and presented a correct CA. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that even when the THA components are positioned within a correct CA and in the Lewinnek safe zone, hip prosthesis dislocations can occur in a not inconsiderable percentage of the cases. Thus, further radiological and clinical analysis should be done to identify potential reasons for hip prosthesis dislocation.

[PMID: 33582865 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-03807-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2020] [Accepted: 01/25/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Correct acetabular component positioning improves hip biomechanics, impingement free range of motion and may lead to a reduced risk of postoperative dislocation. The C-arm is a simple and cost-effective tool for THA in a supine position, however, evaluation of the images can be challenging due to parallax. The current study aimed to investigate whether a software app-based measurement technique can control acetabular component position and leg length in anterior THA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-three patients with end-stage osteoarthritis aged 65.2 ± 9.6 years (range 30-86 years) were included in this prospective study. All patients underwent direct anterior THA using a Hana orthopedic surgery table. C-arm imaging and an iPad software app were used to determine intraoperative acetabular anteversion, inclination and leg length discrepancy. The app provides a measuring tool that is applied to intraoperative c-arm images. The intraoperative measurements were compared to the measurements of standard postoperative AP-pelvis radiographs. RESULTS Intraoperative software app-based anteversion measurements averaged 20.5° (range 16.0° to 24.0°) compared to 20.9° (range 14.7° to 25.6°) postoperatively. Mean intraoperative inclination was 40.5° (range 35° to 48°) compared to postoperative 40.7° (range 35° to 49°). Mean intraoperative leg length discrepancy was 0.9 mm (range - 4-5 mm) compared to postoperative 0.6 mm (range - 5-6 mm). A strong Pearson's correlation was observed between the intraoperative and postoperative measurements for anteversion (r = .701; P < .0001), inclination (r = .816; P < .0001) and leg length discrepancy (r = .542; P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS The software app used in the current study allowed for a simple and accurate measurement of intraoperative cup position and leg length in direct anterior THA.

[PMID: 33653630 PMCID: PMC8197737 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.02.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2020] [Revised: 01/16/2021] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To create a safe zone, an understanding of the combined femoral and acetabular mating during hip motion is required. We investigated the position of the femoral head inside the acetabular liner during simulated hip motion. We hypothesized that cup and stem anteversions do not equally affect hip motion and combined hip anteversion. METHODS Hip implant motion was simulated in standing, sitting, sit-to-stand, bending forward, squatting, and pivoting positions using the MATLAB software. A line passing through the center of the stem neck and the center of the prosthetic head exits at the polar axis (PA) of the prosthetic head. When the prosthetic head and liner are parallel, the PA faces the center of the liner (PA position = 0, 0). By simulating hip motion in 1-degree increments, the maximum distance of the PA from the liner center and the direction of its movement were measured (polar coordination system). RESULTS The effect of modifying cup and stem anteversion on the direction and distance of the PA's change inside the acetabular liner was different. Stem anteversion influenced the PA position inside the liner more than cup anteversion during sitting, sit-to-stand, squatting, and bending forward (P = .0001). This effect was evident even when comparing stems with different neck angles (P = .0001). CONCLUSION Cup anteversion, stem anteversion, and stem neck-shaft angle affected the PA position inside the liner and combined anteversion in different ways. Thus, focusing on cup orientation alone when assessing hip motion during different daily activities is inadequate.

How Does Spinopelvic Mobility and Sagittal Functional Cup Orientation Affect Patient-Reported Outcome 1 Year after THA?-A Prospective Diagnostic Cohort Study. J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:2335-2342. [PMID: 33637383 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.02.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This prospective cohort study aimed to characterize how spinopelvic characteristics change post-total hip arthroplasty (THA) and determine how patient-reported outcome measures are associated with 1) individual spinopelvic mobility and 2) functional sagittal cup orientation post-THA. METHODS One hundred consecutive patients who received unilateral THAs for end-stage hip osteoarthritis, without spinal pathology were studied. Preoperatively and postoperatively, patients underwent clinical and radiographic evaluations. Patient-reported outcomes were collected using the hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score - physical function shortform (HOOS-PS). Radiographic parameters measured from standing and relaxed-seated radiographs, included the lumbar lordosis angle, pelvic tilt, pelvic femoral angle and cup orientation in the coronal (inclination/anteversion) and sagittal (anteinclination) planes. Spinopelvic mobility was characterized (ΔPT: "stiff" [<10°], "normal" [10°-30°], and "hypermobile" [>30°]). RESULTS Preoperative spinopelvic characteristics were not associated with HOOS-PS. Post-THA, the spinopelvic characteristics changed, with less patients having spinopelvic hypermobility (7%) compared with preop (14%). Postoperatively, patients with spinopelvic hypermobility showed significantly worse HOOS-PS scores (21 ± 17 vs 21 ± 22 vs 41 ± 23; ANOVA P = .037). Sagittal but not coronal cup orientation was associated with postoperative spinopelvic characteristics. Cup anteinclination was less in the patients with postoperative spinopelvic hypermobility (27 ± 7° vs 36 ± 8° vs 36 ± 10°; ANOVA: P = .035). CONCLUSION We hypothesize that spinopelvic hypermobility is secondary to impingement and reduced hip flexion; to achieve a seated position, impinging hips require more posterior pelvic tilt. Patients with spinopelvic hypermobility are likely impinging secondary to the low cup anteinclination (sagittal malorientation despite optimum coronal orientation) and thus have lower HOOS-PS compared. Sagittal assessments are thus important to adequately study hip mechanics. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, diagnostic study.

The Effect of a Degenerative Spine and Adverse Pelvic Mobility on Prosthetic Impingement in Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:2523-2529. [PMID: 33692000 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.02.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2020] [Revised: 02/05/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the placement of acetabular components in the traditional "safe-zone", dislocations and all parts of the instability spectrum, including impingement, continue to be an issue. Recent research has established the importance of a degenerative spine and adverse pelvic mobility on functional acetabular orientation. The purpose of this study is to quantify the clinical consequences of a degenerative spine and adverse pelvic mobility on prosthetic impingement in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. METHODS Between January 2018 and December 2019, a series of 1592 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty had functional lateral radiographs and a computed tomography scan taken. Two spinal parameters and 2 pelvic mobility parameters were investigated for their association with impingement. Each patient was evaluated for anterior and posterior impingement, at all orientations within a traditional supine safe zone and a patient-specific functional safe zone. RESULTS Patients with limited lumbar flexion (stiff spine), higher pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis mismatch (sagittal imbalance), and more anterior pelvic mobility from stand to flexed-seated, exhibit increased anterior impingement. Patients with larger posterior pelvic mobility from supine-to-stand exhibited increased posterior impingement. Impingement was reduced 3-fold when the target cup orientation was tailored to a patient's functional safe zone rather than a generic target. Six percent of patients showed unavoidable impingement even with an optimized functional cup orientation. CONCLUSION Our results support growing evidence that patients with a degenerative spine and adverse pelvic mobility are likely to have unfavorable functional cup orientations, resulting in prosthetic impingement. Preoperative functional radiographic screening is recommended to assess the likelihood of a patient experiencing impingement due to their unique spinopelvic mobility.

Abstract
Background: A comprehensive and thorough understanding of functional acetabular component orientation is essential for optimizing the clinical outcome after total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to quantify the functional acetabular anteversion and inclination of unilateral THA patients during walking and static standing and to determine whether the functional acetabular orientation falls within the Lewinnek safe zone. Methods: Seventeen patients with unilateral THA received a CT scan and dual fluoroscopic imaging during level walking and static standing to evaluate in vivo hip kinematics. The pelvic functional coordinate system of the 3D CT-based computer model was defined by the line of gravity and anterior pelvic plane (APP) to measure functional acetabular anteversion and inclination in different postures. The Lewinnek safe zone was used to determine the acetabular malposition during functional activities. Results: The THA side demonstrated an average of 10.1° (± 9.6°, range -7.5° to 29.9°) larger functional anteversion and 16.0° (± 9.2°, range -7.2° to 29.9°) smaller inclination than native hips during level walking. Functional acetabular anteversion in the THA side during level walking and static standing was significantly larger than anatomical measurements (p < 0.05). Acetabular orientation of most well-placed THA components anatomically in the Lewinnek safe zone fell outside the safe zone during more than half of the gait cycle and static standing. Conclusion: The current study revealed that an anatomically well-placed acetabular cup does not guarantee a well-functional orientation during daily activities. The in vivo mechanical performance and loading conditions of the THA component during other weight-bearing activities should be investigated in further studies.

Measurement of operative femoral anteversion during cementless total hip arthroplasty and influencing factors for using neck-adjustable femoral stem. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:353. [PMID: 34059087 PMCID: PMC8165773 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02506-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Placement of femoral stem in excessive anteversion or retroversion can cause reduced range of motion, prosthetic impingement, and dislocation. The aim of this study was to assess the operative femoral anteversion in patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) and analyze the need of adjusting stem anteversion. METHODS We retrospectively included 101 patients (126 hips) who underwent cementless THA with a manual goniometer to determine the femoral anteversion between October 2017 and December 2018. The operative femoral anteversion we measured was recorded during THA. We further divided those hips into three subgroups based on the range of operative femoral anteversion: group 1 (<10°), group 2 (10-30°), and group 3 (>30°) and compared the differences of their demographic data. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify the influencing factors for the need of neck-adjustable femoral stem. The clinical and radiographic outcomes were also assessed. Perioperative complications were recorded. RESULTS After THA, the Harris hip scores improved from 52.87 ± 15.30 preoperatively to 90.04 ± 3.31 at the last follow-up (p < 0.001). No implant loosening, stem subsidence, and radiolucent lines were observed on radiographs. No severe complications occurred and no components needed revision at the latest follow-up. The mean operative femoral anteversion was 14.21° ± 11.80° (range, -9 to 60°). Patients with femoral anteversion more than 30° were about 10 years younger than others. Femoral anteversion >30° was more common in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). There were totally 14 hips treated with the neck-adjustable femoral stem. From the univariate analysis, we can observe that female sex, diagnosis of DDH (compared with osteonecrosis), and higher operative femoral anteversion and its value >30° (compared with <10°) are associated with higher rates of using the neck-adjustable femoral stem. However, all these factors were no longer considered as independent influencing factors when mixed with other factors. CONCLUSIONS This study highlighted the significance of operative femoral anteversion. Identification of abnormal femoral anteversion could assist in adjusting stem anteversion and reduce the risk of dislocation after THA.

Abstract
Introduction The aim of this study was to determine number and type of failures and revisions after usage of a constrained tripolar acetabular liner in patients with high risk of dislocation. Potential correlations between these failures and the factors included were analyzed. Materials and methods In this retrospective study 55 participants in 68 cases were included after treatment with constrained tripolar acetabular liner. Patient specific data as well as surgery and implant specific data were collected. Radiological images were assessed. Furthermore, the gluteal function was analyzed. The parameters were statistically verified with regard to their influence on the failure of the constrained tripolar liner. Results This study included 16 cases (in nine participants) of postoperative failure. This results in a survival rate of 76.5% regarding the number of cases after 17 months. The statistical analysis of the different parameters considered that the number of previous surgeries has a significant (p = 0.027) influence on the failure. Conclusions This retrospective study shows that treatment with constrained tripolar acetabular liners is a satisfactory method of treatment in cases with a high risk of dislocation. However, in cases with an increasing number of previous surgeries, an increased risk of failure was found. Therefore, in such cases, this type of supply treatment should be treated critically.

Abstract
The prediction of the hip joint force (HJF) is a fundamental factor for the prevention of edge loading in total hip arthroplasty. Naturally, the loading of the liner of the acetabular component depends on the HJF acting on the artificial joint. In contrast to dynamic musculoskeletal models, static models for HJF prediction do not require motion analysis of the patient. However, patient-specific adaptability and validity of static models have to be scrutinized. In this study, a modular framework for HJF prediction using static models is introduced to compare the results of different cadaver templates that are the basis of most static and dynamic models, and different scaling laws for the patient-specific adaptation with in vivo HJF of ten patients for one-leg stance and level walking. The results revealed the significant effect of the underlying cadaver template used for the prediction of the HJF (p < 0.01). A higher degree of patient-specific scaling of the cadaver template often did not significantly reduce the prediction error. Three static models with the lowest prediction errors were compared to results of dynamic models from literature. The prediction error of the peak HJF of the static models (median absolute errors below 15% body weight in magnitude and below 5° in direction) was similar in magnitude and even smaller in direction compared to dynamic models. The necessary reduction of a load-based target zone for the prevention of edge loading due to the uncertainty of the HJF prediction has to be considered in the preoperative planning. The framework for HJF prediction is openly accessible at https://github.com/RWTHmediTEC/HipJointForceModel.

Evaluation of femoral anteversion, hip rotation, and lateral patellar tilt after total hip arthroplasty using a changeable neck system. J Artif Organs 2021; 24:492-497. [PMID: 33899127 DOI: 10.1007/s10047-021-01269-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
In patients with secondary osteoarthritis due to acetabular dysplasia, femoral anteversion has many variations. A changeable neck system is one useful option to adjust the femoral anteversion. Retroverted necks can effectively adjust anatomical anteversion (AA), femoral rotational angle (FRA), and functional anteversion (FA); however, effectiveness of anteverted necks for these adjustments has not been investigated. Moreover, although the lateral patellar tilt after total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been reported to externally rotate, the influence on lateral patellar tilt using a changeable neck system remains unknown. To clarify the effectiveness of anteverted necks in THA, 96 consecutive patients (111 hips) who underwent THA using anatomical short stem with a changeable neck system were retrospectively investigated using pre- and post-operative computed tomography. Patients were divided into the straight (ST) group using straight and 4-mm-high-offset neck (N = 34) and the anteverted (AV) group using 15°-anteverted and 15°-anteverted/3-mm-high-offset neck (N = 34) after age, body mass index, and surgical approach were matched using propensity scores. AA did not change in the ST group, while it increased by 14.0° in the AV group. FRA decreased after surgery in both groups. FA decreased after surgery in the ST group, while it did not change in the AV group. Lateral patella tilt did not significantly change in both groups between pre- and post-operative position. In conclusion, with a changeable neck system, straight and anteverted necks can adjust AA to achieve pre-operative planning while not influencing lateral patellar tilt.

Comparison of Cup Setting Angle Accuracy between Computed Tomography-Based and Computed Tomography-Free Navigation in the Same Patients with Crowe's Classification I or II Hip Dysplasia. Clin Orthop Surg 2021; 13:144-151. [PMID: 34094004 PMCID: PMC8173244 DOI: 10.4055/cios20145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2020] [Revised: 09/28/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Backgroud In total hip arthroplasty, the cup setting angle may affect the postoperative results. In recent years, both computed tomography-based navigation and computed tomography-free (imageless) navigation have been reported to produce high accuracy in cup installation; however, no direct comparison between these two methods has been performed. The present study aimed to directly compare the cup installation angle accuracy between computed tomography-based navigation and computed tomography-free navigation in patients with Crowe's classification stage I or II dysplastic osteoarthritis and to examine the factors affecting the cup installation accuracy. Methods Using both navigation systems for the same technique, primary total hip arthroplasty was performed by the same surgeon in 36 patients. A cup was installed using computed tomography-based navigation, and the installed cup was measured again using computed tomography-free navigation. We compared the error between the target angle and the intraoperative installation angle for each navigation method by performing statistical analyses. Results For computed tomography-based navigation, errors in the inclination and the anteversion angles compared to the target angle were 3.14° ± 1.55° and 1.47° ± 0.99°, respectively. For computed tomography-free navigation, the inclination and anteversion angle errors were significantly larger, i.e., 6.84° ± 4.78° and 5.43° ± 5.22°, respectively (p < 0.01). The inclination and anteversion angles of computed tomography-free navigation were correlated, and there were no significant factors influencing the error. Conclusions Computed tomography-based navigation is more accurate for cup installation than computed tomography-free navigation. When using computed tomography-free navigation, it is necessary to add technical schemes before and during surgery to improve the cup installation accuracy.

Accuracy of cup position following robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty may be associated with surgical approach and pelvic tilt. Sci Rep 2021; 11:7578. [PMID: 33828113 PMCID: PMC8027591 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-86849-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2020] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of cup placement and determine the predictive risk factors for inaccurate cup positioning in robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA). We retrospectively analyzed 115 patients who underwent robot-assisted THA between August 2018 and November 2019. Acetabular cup alignment and three-dimensional (3D) position were measured using pre- or postoperative computed tomography (CT) data. Absolute differences in cup inclination, anteversion, and 3D position were assessed, and their relation to preoperative factors was evaluated. The average measurement of the absolute differences was 1.8° ± 2.0° (inclination) and 1.9° ± 2.3° (anteversion). The average absolute difference in the 3D cup position was 1.1 ± 1.2 mm (coronal plane) and 0.9 ± 1.0 mm (axial plane). Multivariate analysis revealed that a posterior pelvic tilt [odds ratio (OR, 1.1; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.00–1.23] and anterior surgical approach (OR, 5.1; 95% CI, 1.69–15.38) were predictive factors for inaccurate cup positioning with robot-assisted THA. This is the first study to demonstrate the predictive risk factors (posterior pelvic tilt and anterior surgical approach) for inaccurate cup position in robot-assisted THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The success of primary total hip replacement (THR) is predominately determined by the primary stability of the implant and the restoration of the patient-specific joint biomechanics. The three-dimensional (patho-) anatomy, size, geometry, and shape of the acetabulum and proximal femur is highly variable in patients with advanced hip osteoarthritis. Accurate preoperative planning is an essential prerequisite for all replacement procedures. CURRENT SITUATION Current data demonstrates clinical advantages for patient-specific reconstruction of functional joint geometry via surrogate parameters (offset and leg length). Frequently cited "target zones" for the positioning and orientation of the cup are increasingly in the focus of scientific discussion, as individually adjusted target zones for implant positioning allow for a potential reduction of impingement risk. Patients with spinal fusions or pathologic spinopelvic alignment require that particular attention be paid to patient-specific preoperative preparation, the surgical technique, and implant selection in order to reduce the risk of postoperative instability.

Clin Orthop Relat Res 2021; 479:767-777.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-length stems were developed to reduce bone loss of the proximal femur and potentially decrease the incidence of thigh pain after cementless THA. However, it remains unknown whether short stems indeed reduce bone loss or the frequency of thigh pain. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES Is there a difference between short- and standard-length stems in terms of: (1) the frequency or severity of thigh pain, (2) modified Harris hip scores, (3) implant loosening, or (4) bone mineral density as measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry? METHODS Between March 2013 and January 2014, three surgeons performed 205 primary THAs. To be eligible, patients needed to be at least 20 years of age, have not undergone previous history of hip surgery, and have no metabolic bone disease. A total of 100 patients were randomized to receive THA either with a short stem (n = 56) or with a standard-length stem (n = 44). Both stems were proximally coated, tapered, cementless stems. Compared with standard stems, short stems typically were 30- to 35-mm shorter. A total of 73% (41 of 56) and 77% (34 of 44) of those groups, respectively, were accounted for at a minimum of 5 years and were analyzed. The presence of thigh pain during activity was evaluated using a 10-point VAS, and the modified Harris hip score was calculated by research assistants who were blinded to the treatment groups. Plain radiographs were taken at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively, and every 1 year thereafter; loosening was defined as subsidence > 3 mm or a position change > 3° on serial radiographs. Radiological assessment was performed by two researchers who did not participate in the surgery and follow-up evaluations. Bone mineral density of the proximal femur was measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry at 4 days, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years postoperatively. The primary endpoint of our study was the incidence of thigh pain during 5-year follow-up. Our study was powered at 80% to detect a 10% difference in the proportion of patients reporting thigh pain at the level of 0.05. RESULTS With the numbers available, we found no difference between the groups in the proportion of patients with thigh pain; 16% (9 of 56) of patients in the short-stem group and 14% (6 of 44) of patients in the standard-stem group experienced thigh pain during the follow-up period (p = 0.79). In all patients, the pain was mild or moderate (VAS score of 4 or 6 points). Among the 15 available patients who reported thigh pain, there was no difference between the implant groups in mean severity of thigh pain (4.3 ± 0.8 versus 4.2 ± 0.7; p = 0.78). There were no between-group differences in the short versus standard-length stem groups in terms of mean modified Harris hip score by 5 years after surgery (89 ± 13 versus 95 ± 7 points; p = 0.06). No implant was loose and no hip underwent revision in either group. Patients in the short-stem group showed a slightly smaller decrease in bone mineral density in Gruen Zones 2, 3, and 5 than those in the standard-stem group did; the magnitude of the difference seems unlikely to be clinically important. CONCLUSION We found no clinically important differences (and few differences overall) between short and standard-length THA stems 5 years after surgery in a randomized trial. Consequently, we recommend that clinicians use standard-length stems in general practice because standard-length stems have a much longer published track record in other studies, and short stems can expose patients to the uncertainty associated with novelty, without any apparent offsetting benefit.

Abstract
Improper functional orientation of the acetabular cup can result in improper positions when dynamic pelvic positions are not considered. The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes on acetabular anteversion according to pelvic tilt under various acetabular inclinations. Two artificial pelvic models were selected for this study. Acetabular inclinations on the coronal plane were 25°, 32°, 50°, and 60°. Acetabular anteversion of all components were 15°. Changes of anteversion according to pelvic tilt were measured at angles of 0°, 10°, 20°, 30°, and 40°. Computer Navigation, PolyWare 3D pro, CT, and plain radiography were used to measure each angle. The anatomical anteversions against pelvic tilt were calculated using the following formulae: anatomical anteversion (°) = -14.48Χ + 90.18 (inclination angle 25°); anatomical anteversion (°) = -12.26Χ + 80.10 (inclination angle 32°); anatomical anteversion (°) = -7.468Χ + 61.13 (inclination angle 50°); and anatomical anteversion (°) = -5.328Χ + 44.84 (inclination angle 60°) (Χ: pelvic tilt angle). Radiographic anteversion against pelvic tilt were calculated using the following formulae: radiographic anteversion (°) = -9.50Χ + 57.09 (inclination angle 25°); radiographic anteversion (°) = -8.577Χ + 50.89 (inclination angle 32°); radiographic anteversion (°) = -6.794Χ + 45.73 (inclination angle 50°); radiographic anteversion (°) = -5.226Χ + 33.08 (inclination angle 60°). In conclusion, changes in anteversion according to pelvic tilt were lesser at higher degrees of acetabular inclination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study compared the early clinical recovery of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using computer navigation systems (nTHA) and robotic arm-assisted THA (rTHA). METHODS Thirty prospective subjects who underwent rTHA were clinically compared to 30 subjects who underwent nTHA. Clinical data (surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, pain severity, number of days to independent walking, and Harris Hip Score (HHS) at discharge), and radiographic parameters (inclination and anteversion angles) were statistically compared between the two groups. RESULTS Follow-up times were 24.3 ± 6.0 and 27.0 ± 7.0 days in the rTHA and nTHA groups, respectively. The surgical time (135.1 ± 13.9 min vs. 146.2 ± 12.8 min, p = 0.002), number of days to independent walking (7.2 ± 2.0 vs. 11.5 ± 3.0 days, p < 0.001), and postoperative pain using a numeric rating scale on postoperative days 7, 10,, and 14 (1.4 ± 0.9 vs. 2.2 ± 1.2, p = 0.005; 1.0 ± 0.8 vs. 1.8 ± 1.1, p = 0.002; 0.3 ± 0.5 vs. 1.1 ± 0.9, p < 0.001; respectively) were significantly reduced in the rTHA group compared to the nTHA group. The rTHA group showed a significantly higher postoperative HHS compared to the nTHA group (85.3 ± .3.2 vs. 81.0 ± 8.5, p = 0.014). No statistically significant difference was observed in radiographic parameters between the groups; however, the incidence of intraoperative target angle changes was significantly lower in the rTHA group than in the nTHA group (0/30 subjects [0%] vs. 11/30 subjects [36.7%], p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The surgical time, postoperative pain, and number of days to independent walking were significantly shorter, and the HHS at discharge was significantly higher in the rTHA group than in the nTHA group. Thus, compared to the nTHA group, the rTHA group showed improved early clinical recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Incorrect cup positioning in primary total hip arthroplasty is known as a risk factor for early implant failure. The use of navigation systems leads to more accurate cup positioning. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the registration accuracy of the anterior pelvic plane and the measurement accuracy of the definite cup position for a pointer computer-assisted orthopaedic navigation system (P-CAOS) and an ultrasound-based navigation tool (US-CAOS) in an intra-individual study design. METHODS Anterior pelvic plane registration was performed in 44 patients receiving a primary total hip arthroplasty with P-CAOS and US-CAOS. The cup implantation was performed using US-CAOS. Intraoperatively, the cup position was assessed using P-CAOS and US-CAOS. The postoperative cup position was determined via CT scan. Inclination and anteversion errors were calculated using intraoperative values and CT data. All operations were performed by a single, high-volume surgeon using a minimally invasive anterolateral approach. RESULTS The mean inclination error was 0.9∘ in the US-CAOS group and -1.1∘ in the P-CAOS group. This was not statistically significant. The mean anteversion error was significantly reduced (p< 0.001) in the US-CAOS group (1.4∘) compared to the P-CAOS group (-8.0∘). Significantly more cups (23 of 44; 52%) in the P-CAOS group were outliers regarding to the defined anteversion error range of 15∘± 10∘. Outliers in the US-CAOS group amounted to two (of 44; 5%) (p< 0.001). The number of outliers regarding the inclination error range of 40∘± 10∘, did not differ significantly between the P-CAOS (2; 5%) and US-CAOS (1; 2%) group. CONCLUSION We were able to show a systematic anterior pelvic plane registration error in this intraindividual study design. US-CAOS based APP landmark registration showed to be significantly more precise compared to P-CAOS registration. The anteversion error of the cup using US-CAOS showed to be significantly reduced compared to the P-CAOS method.

Abstract
When a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is implanted using the traditional mechanical alignment technique, this typically results in a straight leg, independently of pre-operative or even pre-arthrotic varus or valgus alignment. With mechanical alignment, we distinguish between 2 different alignment techniques: ligament balancing and bony referencing according to bony skeletal landmarks. In ligament balanced technique beside the straight mechanical axis, the prosthesis is implanted at 90° to the latter. The rotational alignment of the femur is set according to the ligament tension. In the skeletal referenced technique, the rotation of the femur is also set according to bony skeletal landmarks. As a variation of this technique, the prosthesis can be implanted with anatomical alignment. In this technique, the medial slope of the joint line of 3° in the frontal plane is respected during the implantation of TKA. Both techniques result in comparable long-term results with
survival rates of almost 80% after 25 years. On the other hand, 15 – 20% of TKA patients report dissatisfaction with their clinical result. For more than 10 years now, the kinematic TKA alignment concept has been developed with the goal to achieve implantation that is adapted to the individual anatomy of the patient. The advocates of this technique expect better function of TKA. This strategy aims to reconstruct the pre-arthrotic anatomy of a given patient while preserving the existing joint line and the mechanical axis without performing ligamentary release. Studies have shown that the function of the prothesis is at least that good as in the conventional techniques. Long-term results are still sparse, but initial studies show that TKA implanted using the kinematic alignment technique exhibit comparable 10-year-survival rates to those implanted using the traditional mechanical alignment technique. Future studies need to show the limitations of this new technique and to
identify patients who will or will not significantly benefit from this technique.

Anterior pelvic plane tilt poorly estimates the sagittal body alignment due to internal rotation of innominate bone. J Orthop Res 2021; 39:580-589. [PMID: 32478909 DOI: 10.1002/jor.24760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2019] [Revised: 05/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the influence of the rotation of innominate bone on anterior pelvic plane (APP) tilt, the angle formed by the APP, and coronal plane of the body to determine whether the provision of proper information about the sagittal balance of the body by the value of the APP tilt (APPT). In total, 244 patients (171 females, 73 males) who were candidates for total hip or knee arthroplasty, periacetabular osteotomy, or shelf arthroplasty were included. The rotational angle of the innominate bone was quantified using computed tomography images at the level of the anterior superior, and anterior inferior iliac spine, and ischiopubic portion. Clustering analysis was performed to identify subtypes of innominate bone rotation. High, intermediate, and low internal rotational alignment groups were identified in females, characterized by rotational angles. Males were treated as one group, and no intergroup differences were observed in sacral slope (SS) and pelvic incidence. However, intergroup differences in APPT were found, indicating a variation in APPT irrespective of sagittal body balance. A negligible relationship between SS and APPT was observed in the high-internal-rotation group, intermediate-internal-rotation group, and male group, whereas a moderate correlation found in the low-internal-rotation group (r = .59). The results could suggest surgeons that the value of the APPT provides no information on the sagittal balance; therefore, it may be ignored for acetabular component positioning during preoperative planning for total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite improvements in the mechanical properties of alumina ceramics, the outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with contemporary ceramic bearings in young patients remains a matter of concern. We evaluated the results of cementless THA with the use of the delta ceramic bearing, and determined the prevalence of osteolysis, squeaking, and ceramic fracture in patients aged < 30 years at mid-term. METHODS From March 2008 to January 2012, 76 consecutive patients (91 hips), younger than 30 years, underwent cementless THA with Delta ceramic bearings. In each follow-up, the clinical evaluation including noise and radiological evaluations were recorded. RESULTS Among them, 72 patients (86 THAs) were followed-up for a minimum of 5 years (mean 70.8; 60-95.9 months). There were 44 men (47 hips) and 28 women (39 hips). The mean age at the time of the index arthroplasty was 25.9 (16-30) years and the mean preoperative Harris Hip Score (HHS) was 59.4 (23-79) points. HHS improved to 96.3 (64-100) points at the final follow-up evaluation. 8 hips (9.3%) exhibited grinding or squeaking. No hip had aseptic loosening and no hip was revised. No osteolysis was detected around any acetabular or femoral components. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that cementless THA with the use of Delta ceramic bearing provides satisfactory results without osteolysis or ceramic fracture in patients aged <30 years at a mid-term follow-up.Clinical Trials.gov Protocol Registration System (trial no. NCT01838096).

Targeting the safe zones for cup position without fluoroscopic guidance in total hip arthroplasty: does the surgical approach affect the outcomes? EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2021; 31:1471-1476. [PMID: 33625574 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-021-02909-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Proper acetabular cup positioning is crucial for achieving implant longevity and stability in total hip arthroplasty (THA). One of the elements that may affect the accuracy and precision of the positioning of the cup is the type of surgical approach used. This study compares the accuracy and the precision of conventional free-hand acetabular cup positioning relative to different "safe zones" in two groups of patients operated with THA using two different surgical approach. METHODS Retrospective radiological comparative matched-pair controlled study of two groups of patients operated with primary THA: the first group was operated in supine decubitus with a mini-invasive direct anterior approach (DA group), the second group was operated in lateral decubitus with a conventional posterolateral approach (PL group). Cup inclination and anteversion were assessed using the digital planning software TraumaCad. Cup position in the two groups were compared in terms of accuracy and precision. RESULTS Forty four patients were enrolled for each group. The DA group showed a less inclined and less anteverted cup compared to the PL group (respectively 38.5 ± 5.2 vs. 49.6 ± 5.6 and 16.2 ± 3.6 vs. 22.9 ± 6.4; p < 0.01). The DA group showed a significantly higher percentage of cups within the "safe zone" in 4 out of 6 reference zones and a significantly lower variance in anteversion (12.96 vs. 40.96, p < .01). There was no difference in the variance for inclination. CONCLUSIONS Our study found greater accuracy and precision in the positioning of the cup when surgery was performed through a direct anterior approach compared to the posterolateral approach due to the supine position of the patient which allows greater stability of the pelvis during surgery and makes it easier to target the desired angular references for cup positioning.

Abstract
Objective To investigate if 3D printed guides and preoperative planning can accurately control femoral stem anteversion. Methods A prospective comparative study was carried out from 2018 to 2020, including 53 patients who underwent hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fracture. The target rotation center of the femoral head is determined by three-dimensional planning. In group A, planning was made by 2D templates. In group B, preoperative 3D planning and 3D printed osteotomy/positioning guides were performed. After the operation, 3D model registration was performed to calculate the accuracy of anteversion restoration. Results We screened 60 patients and randomized a total of 53 to 2 parallel study arms: 30 patients to the group A (traditional operation) and 23 patients to the group B (3D preoperative planning and 3D printed guide). There were no significant differences in demographic or perioperative data between study groups. The restoration accuracy of group A was 5.42° ± 3.65° and of group B was 2.32° ± 1.89°. The number and rate of abnormal cases was 15 (50%) and 2 (8.7%), respectively. Significant statistical differences were found in angle change, restoration accuracy, and number of abnormal cases. Conclusion Three-dimensional preoperative planning and 3D printed guides can improve the accuracy of the restoration of femoral anteversion during hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Precise implant alignment is a crucial prognostic factor for successful outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA). A portable accelerometer-based navigation (PN) device may achieve the same accuracy as that achieved by the computer-assisted navigation surgery technique, with the convenience of a conventional technique. Although the usefulness of PN in THA (PN-THA) has been reported, whether it is more accurate than performing THA with a conventional technique (CON-THA) remains controversial. The difference in surgical time between PN-THA and CON-THA is also unclear. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing results of PN-THA with those of CON-THA. We focused on the following question: is PN-THA superior to CON-THA in terms of radiological parameters and surgical time? PATIENTS AND METHODS A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, to identify studies that met the following inclusion criteria: randomised controlled trials (RCT) or non-RCT, studies involving patients who underwent PN-THA and patients who underwent CON-THA, studies including data on radiological parameters and surgical outcomes. Author names, publication year, country, study design, surgical approach, demographic characteristics of the participants (diagnosis, gender, age, and body mass index), and surgical outcomes (the radiological parameters and the surgical time) were extracted. We calculated the mean differences (MDs) for continuous data with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each outcome. p<0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS Three studies were included in this meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed that absolute deviation of the postoperative measured angles from the target position for the cup anteversion was significantly smaller in PN-THA than in CON-THA (MD=-1.70, 95% CI=-2.91 to -0.50, [p=0.005]). There was no significant difference in the absolute deviation of the postoperative measured angles from the target position for cup abduction between the groups (MD=-1.82, 95% CI=-4.32-0.67, [p=0.15]). The surgical time was significantly longer in PN-THA than in CON-THA (MD=8.58, 95% CI=4.05-13.10, [p=0.0002]). DISCUSSION This systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing the results of PN-THA with those of CON-THA showed that the PN-THA is advantageous for precise cup implantation compared to CON-THA, although PN-THA has a longer surgical time compared to CON-THA.

Abstract
Cementation of a highly cross-linked polyethylene liner into a well-fixed acetabular shell provided a good durability for liner wear. However, its efficacy in treating recurrent instability due to malposition cup is less reported. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of this surgical technique to treat hip instability. From 2009 to 2019, we have identified 38 patients who had been surgically treated for recurrent instability, including cementation liner (N = 20) and revision cup (N = 18) procedures. Patients were followed for a mean of 45.66 months. We have recorded and analyzed all causes of implant failure including recurrent instability. Clinical outcomes were assessed including complication and Harris Hip Score (HHS) preoperatively and at the latest follow-up. Revision-free survivorship for any cause was 95.0% at 1 year, and 84.4% at 5 years in cementation liner group and 88.9% at 1 year and 5 years in revision cup group. Mean Harris hip score improved from 48.3 points preoperatively to 79.5 points at the last follow-up in cementation liner group and mean HHS improved from 43.3 points preoperatively to 77.2 points in revision cup group. There were two implant failures in each group, including one is due to persistent hip instability and the other is due to periprosthetic joint infection in the cementation liner group and two implant failure are due to persistent hip instability in the revision cup group. Functional scores and implant survival were similar in both groups. We demonstrated that orientation correction via the cementation of the polyethylene liner into well-fixed acetabular shell is a promising option to treat and prevent instability. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV.

Abstract
A 60-year-old woman underwent revision total hip arthroplasty with a modular dual-mobility articulation for recurrent dislocation. At 1-year follow-up, the patient reported no dislocations but had occasional clicking and discomfort with extreme motion. A Dunn radiograph identified notching of the femoral stem, attributed to impingement. Metal ions were elevated without adverse local-tissue reaction. After 4.5 years of observation, the notch size remained stable. She denied pain. Neither stem fracture nor prosthetic dislocation occurred. Impingement against cobalt-chromium acetabular bearing surfaces can result in notching of titanium femoral components after total hip arthroplasty. Increased anteversion intended to protect against posterior dislocation may be a risk factor. Posterior notching is best visualized on Dunn views, so incidence may be underestimated. No associated femoral implant fractures were identified on literature review.

Abstract
Robotic systems used in orthopaedics have evolved from active systems to semi-active systems. Early active systems were associated with significant technical and surgical complications, which limited their clinical use. The new semi-active system Mako has demonstrated promise in overcoming these limitations, with positive early outcomes. There remains a paucity of data regarding long-term outcomes associated with newer systems such as Mako and TSolution One, which will be important in assessing the applicability of these systems. Given the already high satisfaction rate of manual THA, further high-quality comparative studies are required utilizing outcome scores that are not limited by high ceiling effects to assess whether robotic systems justify their additional expense.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on the causes and factors affecting dislocation after total hip arthroplasty have revealed conflicting results. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting impingement and dislocation after total hip arthroplasty, using a 3-dimensional dynamic motion analysis. METHODS The CT data of 53 patients (53 hips: anterior dislocation; 11 cases, and posterior dislocation; 42 cases) who experienced hip dislocation after total hip arthroplasty with posterior approach, and 120 control patients (120 hips) without dislocation were analyzed. Parameters related to implant alignment, offset and leg length were evaluated. The impingement type was also analyzed using a software. FINDINGS Considering implant settings affecting dislocation, patients at risk for posterior dislocation had decreased stem anteversion, combined anteversion, femoral offset, and leg length. Nevertheless, patients at risk for anterior dislocation had only lower leg length, and these patients may also be at risk for a higher incidence of recurrent dislocation. Bony impingement occurred in almost half of the cases with posterior dislocation, while implant impingement was associated with anterior dislocation. Importantly, anterior dislocation was not as common as posterior dislocation even in cases with occurrence of posterior impingement. INTERPRETATION Bony impingement substantially affects dislocation even in the situation where the implant position and alignment are determined by the so-called "safe zone", especially on the anterior side, while implant impingement affects anterior dislocation. The restoration of anterior offset (i.e., prescribed by the stem anteversion and femoral offset) and combined anteversion is critical for avoidance of posterior dislocation after total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total hip replacement provides mostly fair functional and clinical results. Many factors play an essential role in hip stability and long-term outcomes. Surgical positioning remains fundamental for obtaining accurate implant fit and prevent hip dislocation or impingement. Different categories of robotic assistance have been established throughout the previous years and all of the technologies target accuracy and reliability to reduce complications, and enhance clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS An overview is proposed over the principles of robotic assistance in hip arthroplasty surgery. Accuracy, reliability, management of the bone stock, clinical outcomes, constraints and limits of this technology are reported, based on recent literature. RESULTS Potential advantages regarding pre-operative planning accuracy, cup positioning, maintenance of the center of rotation, preservation of an adequate bone stock nay clinical short- and mid-term outcomes are balanced with some reported disadvantages and limits like hip anatomical specificity, cost-effectiveness, engineering dependence. DISCUSSION The use of robotic-assisted THA presents clear and evident benefits related to accurate implant positioning and maintenance of a minimal bone while allowing. For some authors, an early improvement in functional results and patient's recovery. This technology demonstrated a shorter surgical time and a short learning curve required to optimize its use and this technology presents promising outcomes and results and potential use in routine clinical application but its limitation of use is still present especially the cost of the robot, the need for the presence of an engineer during the surgery, its availability of use in all hospitals as well as the difficulty presented in dysplastic or dysmorphic hip joints.

Natural history of noise and squeaking in cementless ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty. J Orthop 2020; 21:544-549. [PMID: 33029042 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2020.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2020] [Accepted: 09/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Ceramic-on-ceramic (COC) total hip arthroplasty (THA) was developed to reduce wear debris, and consequently the occurrence of osteolysis and aseptic loosening. The purpose of the present study was to determine the incidence and natural history of noise including squeaking after COC THA, and to clarify whether clinical outcomes and any demographic and implant-related factors are associated with noise from these ceramic bearings. Methods This was a retrospective observational study of 137 primary COC THAs between 2004 and 2009 at our institute. The Mean follow-up was for 10.5 years. All patients were followed up with an office visit to obtain information regarding noise, pain, and function. The correlations between the noise, and patient demographic, radiographic, and implant-related factors were evaluated. Results Noise developed in 30 hips (21.9%), specifically squeaking in 2 (1.5%) of the 137 hips during the follow-up period. Noise including squeaking was not associated with pain or functional outcomes. There was significant correlation between noise and cup anteversion, in that cup anteversion of patients with noise was smaller than that in those without noise. No significant correlation was found between noise and any other patient demographic including age, sex, height, body weight, or body mass index. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis with revision for any reason and an aseptic loosening of either component as the end point, revealed a cumulative survival rate at 10 years of 98.4% and 99.1% respectively. Conclusion The long-term clinical and radiographic outcome of cementless COC THA is excellent, but we should be vigilant for noise from COC bearings.

[PMID: 33032565 PMCID: PMC7545546 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-020-03669-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2020] [Accepted: 09/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several cup anteversion measurements for post-operative total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery have been described. We developed the standardized Liaw's trigonometric method to eliminate the influence of patient position, which is the most accurate method for cup anteversion measurement. We then developed an ellipse method using the Elliversion software and reported an interobserver error reduction in 2013. In this study, we attempted to apply this ellipse method in the clinic and compared its accuracy with the standard trigonometric version. METHODS In the present study, we attempted to incorporate the ellipse method with Liaw's standardized anteversion in the simulated cup position. We measured standardized Liaw's anteversion for 434 radiographs in the clinic using the ellipse method. Repeated standard deviation (RSD) was calculated for accuracy evaluation. Furthermore, paired t-test was used for comparison with the interobserver and intraobserver errors. RESULTS We found that the standardized Liaw's anteversion measured using the ellipse method showed lower RSD than the radiographic version. RSD was 0.795 in the standardized Liaw's anteversion with ellipse method group. The p-values of the paired t-test were all higher than 0.05 when measuring the interobserver and intraobserver errors. It indicated that the ellipse method was a precise and simple tool for cup anteversion measurement. CONCLUSION We believe that this ellipse measurement can assist surgeons while placing the acetabulum cup into the precise position and enable early diagnosis of acetabulum loosening.
