J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00750-2. [PMID: 39326806 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.07.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The impact of femoral anteversion changes on femoral rotation and anterior offset following total hip arthroplasty (THA) has not been well studied. This study therefore investigated the relationship between femoral anteversion, anterior offset, and femoral rotation before and after THA. METHODS There were 995 patients who had staged primary bilateral THAs who received a preoperative supine computerized axial tomography (CT) scan, following a standardized protocol, for surgical planning prior to each THA. The following measurements were performed for the first operative hip preoperatively and postoperatively on the first and second CT scans, respectively: femoral anatomic anteversion, defined as the angle between the native femoral neck or stem neck axis and the posterior condylar axis; femoral rotation, defined as the angle of the posterior condylar axis relative to the coronal plane of the CT; and femoral anterior offset, defined as the shortest distance between the femoral head center and a femoral plane containing the epicondyles and the piriformis fossa. The mean time between imagings was 11 months (range, 2 to 44). Associations are described using linear regression (β = slope) and Pearson correlation (r) coefficients. A t distribution was used for testing correlational significance. RESULTS Femoral anteversion correlated with femoral anterior offset preoperatively (β = 0.565, r = 0.914, P < 0.0001) and postoperatively (β = 0.671, r = 0.958, P < 0.0001), and with femoral rotation preoperatively (β = 0.623, r = 0.575, P < 0.0001) and postoperatively (β = 0.459, r = 0.517, P < 0.0001). Increasing anteversion from preoperatively to postoperatively increased anterior offset (β = 0.621, r = 0.908, P < 0.0001) and femoral internal rotation (β = 0.241, r = 0.273, P < 0.0001). Patients who had > 20° increase in anteversion (mean increase 26°, range 20 to 40.5°, n = 71) had a mean increase in femoral internal rotation of 9.6 ± 9.8°. CONCLUSIONS Increasing femoral anteversion increases anterior offset and internal rotation of the femur, with approximately a 1° increase in internal rotation for every 4° increase in anteversion on average. Surgeons should appreciate the implications of changing anteversion during THA planning.

Abstract
Introduction: Knowledge of the accurate in-vivo kinematics of total hip arthroplasty (THA) during activities of daily living can potentially improve the in-vitro or computational wear and impingement prediction of hip implants. Fluoroscopy- based techniques provide more accurate kinematics compared to skin marker-based motion capture, which is affected by the soft tissue artefact. To date, stationary fluoroscopic machines allowed the measurement of only restricted movements, or only a portion of the whole motion cycle. Methods: In this study, a moving fluoroscopic robot was used to measure the hip joint motion of 15 THA subjects during whole cycles of unrestricted activities of daily living, i.e., overground gait, stair descent, chair rise and putting on socks. Results: The retrieved hip joint motions differed from the standard patterns applied for wear testing, demonstrating that current pre-clinical wear testing procedures do not reflect the experienced in-vivo daily motions of THA. Discussion: The measured patient-specific kinematics may be used as input to in vitro and computational simulations, in order to investigate how individual motion patterns affect the predicted wear or impingement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee injuries often occur during or shortly after marathon running, and are linked to altered knee kinematics. RESEARCH QUESTION The kinematics of healthy knees during pre- and post-marathon running have not been examined with high-speed fluoroscopy. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of marathon running on knee kinematics during walking and running by using a combined high-speed fluoroscopy and MRI technique. METHODS Ten healthy runners underwent knee MRI within 24 h before marathon running to construct three-dimensional (3D) knee models. Knee kinematics during treadmill walking and running were evaluated using high-speed fluoroscopy (200hz) within 24 h before and as soon as possible (within 5 h) after marathon running. All pre- and post-marathon measurements were compared. RESULTS (1) For post-marathon walking, posterior femoral translation increased 1.4 mm at initial contact (p = 0.015); proximal-distal distance of tibia and femur decreased 0.7 mm and 0.8 mm at initial contact and after contact, respectively (p = 0.039, p = 0.046); and valgus femur rotation increased 1.2° after contact (p = 0.027). (2) For post-marathon running, proximal-distal distance decreased 0.7 mm and 1.0 mm at initial contact and after contact (p = 0.011, p = 0.003) respectively; knee flexion decreased 4.3° before contact (p = 0.007); knee flexion increased 1.8° and 2.6° at initial contact and after contact, respectively (p = 0.038, p = 0.011); external femoral rotation increased 1.2° and 1.8° at initial contact and after contact, respectively (p = 0.012, p = 0.037). Valgus femoral rotation after contact increased 2.3° (p = 0.001). SIGNIFICANCE Post-marathon changes in valgus and external femoral rotation, knee flexion, posterior femoral translation, and proximal-distal distance may increase the risk of knee injury. This study provides information to better understand the response of the knee to marathon running.

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.

Clin Orthop Relat Res 2020; 478:1904-1918.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lewinnek's recommendation for orienting the cup in THA is criticized because it involves a static assessment of the safe zone and because it does not consider stem geometry. A revised concept of the safe zone should consider those factors, but to our knowledge, this has not been assessed. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) To determine the shape, size, and location of target zones for combined cup and stem orientation for a straight stem/hemispheric cup THA to maximize the impingement-free ROM and (2) To determine whether and how these implant positions change as stem anteversion, neck-shaft angle, prosthetic head size and target range of movements are varied. METHODS A three-dimensional computer-assisted design model, in which design geometry was expressed in terms of parameters, of a straight stem/hemispheric cup hip prosthesis was designed, its design parameters modified systematically, and each prosthesis model was implanted virtually at predefined component orientations. Functional component orientation referencing to body planes was used: cups were abducted from 20° to 70°, and anteverted from -10° to 40°. Stems were rotated from -10° to 40° anteversion, neck-shaft angles varied from 115° to 143°, and head sizes varied from 28 to 40 mm. Hip movements up to the point of prosthetic impingement were tested, including simple flexion/extension, internal/external rotation, ab/adduction, combinations of these, and activities of daily living that were known to trigger dislocation. For each combination of parameters, the impingement-free combined target zone was determined. Maximizing the size of the combined target zone was the optimization criterion. RESULTS The combined target zones for impingement-free cup orientation had polygonal boundaries. Their size and position in the diagram changed with stem anteversion, neck-shaft angle, head size, and target ROM. The largest target zones were at neck-shaft angles from 125° to 127°, at stem anteversions from 10° to 20°, and at radiographic cup anteversions between 17° and 25°. Cup anteversion and stem anteversion were inverse-linearly correlated supporting the combined-anteversion concept. The range of impingement-free cup inclinations depended on head size, stem anteversion, and neck-shaft angle. For a 127°-neck-shaft angle, the lowest cup inclinations that fell within the target zone were 42° for the 28-mm and 35° for the 40-mm head. Cup anteversion and combined version depended on neck-shaft angle. For head size 32-mm cup, anteversion was 6° for a 115° neck-shaft angle and 25° for a 135°-neck-shaft angle, and combined version was 15° and 34° respectively. CONCLUSIONS The shape, size, and location of the combined target zones were dependent on design and implantation parameters of both components. Changing the prosthesis design or changing implantation parameters also changed the combined target zone. A maximized combined target zone was found. It is mandatory to consider both components to determine the accurate impingement-free prosthetic ROM in THA. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study accurately defines the hypothetical impingement-free, design-specific component orientation in THA. Transforming it into clinical precision may be the case for navigation and/or robotics, but this is speculative, and as of now, unproven.

The Reliability of Foot and Ankle Bone and Joint Kinematics Measured With Biplanar Videoradiography and Manual Scientific Rotoscoping. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2020; 8:106.

Abstract
The intricate motion of the small bones of the feet are critical for its diverse function. Accurately measuring the 3-dimensional (3D) motion of these bones has attracted much attention over the years and until recently, was limited to invasive techniques or quantification of functional segments using multi-segment foot models. Biplanar videoradiography and model-based scientific rotoscoping offers an exciting alternative that allows us to focus on the intricate motion of individual bones in the foot. However, scientific rotoscoping, the process of rotating and translating a 3D bone model so that it aligns with the captured x-ray images, is either semi- or completely manual and it is unknown how much human error affects tracking results. Thus, the aim of this study was to quantify the inter- and intra-operator reliability of manually rotoscoping in vivo bone motion of the tibia, talus, and calcaneus during running. Three-dimensional CT bone volumes and high-speed biplanar videoradiography images of the foot were acquired on six participants. The six-degree-of-freedom motions of the tibia, talus, and calcaneus were determined using a manual markerless registration algorithm. Two operators performed the tracking, and additionally, the first operator re-tracked all bones, to test for intra-operator effects. Mean RMS errors were 1.86 mm and 1.90° for intra-operator comparisons and 2.30 mm and 2.60° for inter-operator comparisons across all bones and planes. The moderate to strong similarity values indicate that tracking bones and joint kinematics between sessions and operators is reliable for running. These errors are likely acceptable for defining gross joint angles. However, this magnitude of error may limit the capacity to perform advanced analyses of joint interactions, particularly those that require precise (sub-millimeter) estimates of bone position and orientation. Optimizing the view and image quality of the biplanar videoradiography system as well as the automated tracking algorithms for rotoscoping bones in the foot are required to reduce these errors and the time burden associated with the manual processing.

Abstract
Although three-dimensional (3D) asymmetry has been reported in unilateral THA patients during gait, it is not well understood whether asymmetric hip kinematics during gait persist in bilaterally operated THA patients. The purpose of this study was to compare the in vivo 3D kinematics and component placement between bilateral and unilateral THA patients during gait. Eight bilateral and thirty-three unilateral THA patients were evaluated for both hips during treadmill gait using a validated combination of 3D computer tomography-based modeling and dual fluoroscopic imaging system (DFIS). The in vivo 3D kinematics of the unilateral THA group was first assessed. The magnitudes of kinematics and component placement difference between implanted hips in the bilateral THA group and between the implanted and non-implanted hips in the unilateral THA group were compared. The study results showed asymmetric gait kinematics in the unilateral THA group. Although the magnitude of kinematics differences between sides for both the bilateral and unilateral THA groups did not change significantly for hip rotations (p > 0.05), the bilaterally operated THA group has significantly lower magnitude of hip gait translation difference. Significant reduction in the magnitude of the acetabular cup adduction, stem adduction, and combine hip anteversion and adduction difference was observed in the bilateral THA group (p < 0.05). Our findings demonstrated that despite significant improvements of component placement and reduced magnitude of hip gait translation difference between implanted hips in the bilateral THA group, asymmetric hip kinematic rotations persisted in patients with bilateral THA during gait.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Internal rotation of the hip and lateral patellar tilt increases after total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, it remains unknown whether these parameters change with time after the index THA. METHODS A total of 91 patients undergoing 2-stage bilateral primary THAs between January 2008 and May 2014 were included to assess the association of chronological changes in internal rotation of the hip or lateral patellar tilt with anthropometric and perioperative parameter and changes in alignment after the index THA. Chronological changes were assessed as changes between postoperative computed tomography on the index surgery and the preoperative computed tomography on the contralateral THA. Internal rotation of the hip was defined as the angle between the posterior intercondylar line and a line passing through the posterior inferior iliac spines. Lateral patellar tilt was defined as the angle between the posterior intercondylar line and a line joining the medial and lateral edges of the patella. RESULTS Internal rotation of the hip and lateral patellar tilt changed until 2 years after the index surgery by a mean of -2° (range -17.3° to 17.7°) and -2° (range -18.2° to 5.3°), respectively. Adductor tenotomy was associated with increasing internal rotation of the hip with time (adjusted R2 0.076); leg lengthening and larger preoperative femorotibial angle were associated with decreasing lateral patellar tilt with time (adjusted R2 0.159). CONCLUSION Both internal rotation of the hip at rest and lateral patellar tilt decreased by approximately 2° until 2 years after surgery and there was a large variation in chronological change.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Video fluoroscopy is a technique currently used to retrieve the in vivo three-dimensional kinematics of human joints during activities of daily living. Minimization of the radiation dose absorbed by the subject during the measurement is a priority and has not been thoroughly addressed so far. This issue is critical for the motion analysis of the hip joint, because of the proximity of the gonads. The aims of this study were to determine the x-ray voltage and the irradiation angle that minimize the effective dose and to achieve the best compromise between delivered dose and accuracy in motion retrieval. METHODS Effective dose for a fluoroscopic study of the hip was estimated by means of Monte Carlo simulations and dosimetry measurements. Accuracy in pose retrieval for the different viewing angles was evaluated by registration of simulated radiographs of a hip prosthesis during a prescribed virtual motion. RESULTS Absorbed dose can be minimized to about one-sixth of the maximum estimated values by irradiating at the optimal angle of 45° from the posterior side and by operating at 80 kV. At this angle, accuracy in retrieval of internal-external rotation is poorer compared with the other viewing angles. CONCLUSION The irradiation angle that minimizes the delivered dose does not necessarily correspond to the optimal angle for the accuracy in pose retrieval, for all rotations. For some applications, single-plane fluoroscopy may be a valid lower dose alternative to the dual-plane methods, despite their better accuracy.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of dynamic radiography using a dynamic flat-panel detector (FPD) system after hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA). A total of 32 hips of 26 patients who underwent HRA were included. Sequential images of active abduction in the supine position and flexion in the 45° semilateral position were obtained using the FPD system. We examined the imaging findings of impingement between the acetabular component and femoral neck with cooperative motion at maximal exercise. Moreover, the central component coordinate of the acetabulum and femoral head sides was measured. For abduction motion, impingement was detected in two (6.3 %) hips between the superior portion of the femoral neck and acetabular component. For flexion motion, impingement was detected in 19 (59.4 %) hips. There were no findings of subluxation between the acetabular component and femoral neck after impingement, but cooperative motion of lumbar and pelvic flexion was observed. There was no significant difference in the center-to-center distance regardless of the presence or absence of impingement. Detailed postoperative kinematics of the hips after HRA showed that the proposed dynamic FPD system could reveal acquired impingement and cooperative motion as dynamic images and possibly reveal findings that would be unobservable using static images.
