Abstract
Statistical shape models (SSMs) are useful tools in evaluating variation in bony anatomy to assess pathology, plan surgical interventions, and inform the design of orthopaedic implants and instrumentation. Recently, by considering multiple bones spanning a joint or the whole lower extremity, SSMs can support studies investigating articular conformity and joint mechanics. The objective of this study was to assess tradeoffs in accuracy between SSMs of the femur or tibia individually versus a combined joint-level model. Three statistical shape models were developed (femur-only, tibia-only, and joint-level) for a training set of 179 total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients with osteoarthritis representing both genders and several ethnicities. Bone geometries were segmented from preoperative CT scans, meshed with triangular elements, and registered to a template for each SSM. Principal component analysis was performed to determine modes of variation. The statistical shape models were compared using measures of compactness, accuracy, generalization, and specificity. The generalization evaluation, assessing the ability to describe an unseen instance in a leave-one-out analysis, showed that errors were consistently smaller for the individual femur and tibia SSMs than for the joint-level model. However, when additional modes were included in the joint-level model, the errors were comparable to the individual bone results, with minimal additional computational expense. When developing more complex SSMs at the joint, lower limb, or whole-body level, the use of an error threshold to inform the number of included modes, instead of 95 % of the variation explained, can help to ensure accurate representations of anatomy.

J Hip Preserv Surg 2024; 11:132-139.

Abstract
Femoral deformities are common in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), but decisions about how to treat them are not standardized. Of interest are deformities that may be akin to cam femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). We used three-dimensional and two-dimensional measures to clarify the similarities and differences in proximal femur shape variation among female patients with DDH (n = 68) or cam FAI (n = 60). Three-dimensional measures included femoral head asphericity, as well as shape variation using statistical shape modeling and principal component analysis (PCA). Two-dimensional measures included the α-angle, head-neck offset (HNO) and the neck-shaft angle (NSA). Significant shape variations were captured in the first five PCA modes, with the greatest shared variation between groups being the length from the lesser trochanter to the femoral head and greater trochanter height. Variations unique to DDH were irregularities at different areas of the femoral head, but not at the lateral femoral head-neck junction where variation was strong in FAI. The FAI group also had unique variations in greater trochanter shape. DDH femoral heads were less spherical, as indicated by larger sphere-fitting errors (P < 0.001). Radiographically, the DDH group had significantly smaller α-angles (P < 0.001), larger head-neck offsets (P = 0.02) and larger NSAs (P < 0.001). Both the articular and extra-articular regions of the proximal femur have distinct shape features in DDH and cam FAI that can uniquely affect the biomechanics of each disorder. Accordingly, approaches to addressing each disorder should be unique.

Abstract
Kinematic tracking of native anatomy from stereo-radiography provides a quantitative basis for evaluating human movement. Conventional tracking procedures require significant manual effort and call for acquisition and annotation of subject-specific volumetric medical images. The current work introduces a framework for fully automatic tracking of native knee anatomy from dynamic stereo-radiography which forgoes reliance on volumetric scans. The method consists of three computational steps. First, captured radiographs are annotated with segmentation maps and anatomic landmarks using a convolutional neural network. Next, a non-convex polynomial optimization problem formulated from annotated landmarks is solved to acquire preliminary anatomy and pose estimates. Finally, a global optimization routine is performed for concurrent refinement of anatomy and pose. An objective function is maximized which quantifies similarities between masked radiographs and digitally reconstructed radiographs produced from statistical shape and intensity models. The proposed framework was evaluated against manually tracked trials comprising dynamic activities, and additional frames capturing a static knee phantom. Experiments revealed anatomic surface errors routinely below 1.0 mm in both evaluation cohorts. Median absolute errors of individual bone pose estimates were below 1.0∘ or mm for 15 out of 18 degrees of freedom in both evaluation cohorts. Results indicate that accurate pose estimation of native anatomy from stereo-radiography may be performed with significantly reduced manual effort, and without reliance on volumetric scans.

Abstract
Analyzing anatomic shapes of tissues and organs is pivotal for accurate disease diagnostics and clinical decision-making. One prominent disease that depends on anatomic shape analysis is osteoarthritis, which affects 30 million Americans. To advance osteoarthritis diagnostics and prognostics, we introduce ShapeMed-Knee, a 3D shape dataset with 9,376 high-resolution, medical-imaging-based 3D shapes of both femur bone and cartilage. Besides data, ShapeMed-Knee includes two benchmarks for assessing reconstruction accuracy and five clinical prediction tasks that assess the utility of learned shape representations. Leveraging ShapeMed-Knee, we develop and evaluate a novel hybrid explicit-implicit neural shape model which achieves up to 40% better reconstruction accuracy than a statistical shape model and implicit neural shape model. Our hybrid models achieve state-of-the-art performance for preserving cartilage biomarkers; they're also the first models to successfully predict localized structural features of osteoarthritis, outperforming shape models and convolutional neural networks applied to raw magnetic resonance images and segmentations. The ShapeMed-Knee dataset provides medical evaluations to reconstruct multiple anatomic surfaces and embed meaningful disease-specific information. ShapeMed-Knee reduces barriers to applying 3D modeling in medicine, and our benchmarks highlight that advancements in 3D modeling can enhance the diagnosis and risk stratification for complex diseases. The dataset, code, and benchmarks will be made freely accessible.

Abstract
Patients with transfemoral amputation (TFA) are up to six times more likely to develop hip osteoarthritis (OA) in either or both the intact and residual limb, which is primarily attributed to habitually altered joint loading due to compensatory movement patterns. However, joint loading patterns differ between limbs, which confounds the understanding of loading-induced OA etiology across limbs. It remains unknown if altered loading due to amputation results in bony shape changes at the hip, which is a known etiological factor in the development of hip OA. Retrospective computed tomography images were collected of the residual limb for 31 patients with unilateral TFA (13F/18M; age: 51.7 ± 9.9 y/o; time since amputation: 13.7 ± 12.4 years) and proximal femur for a control group of 29 patients (13F/16M; age: 42.0 ± 12.27 years) and used to create 3D geometries of the proximal femur. Femoral 3D geometric variation was quantified using statistical shape modeling (SSM), a computational tool which placed 2048 corresponding particles on each geometry. Independent modes of variation were created using principal component analysis. 2D radiographic measures of the proximal femur, including common measures such as α-angle, head neck offset, and neck shaft angle, were quantified on digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs). SSM results were then compared to 2D measures using Pearson correlation coefficients (r). Two-sample t-tests were used to determine if there were significant differences between the TFA and control group means of 2D radiographic measurements (p < 0.05). Patients with TFA had greater femoral head asphericity within the SSM, which was moderately correlated to head-neck offset (r = -0.54) and α-angle (r = 0.63), as well as greater trochanteric torsion, which was strongly correlated to the novel radiographic measure of trochanteric torsion (r = -0.78), compared to controls. For 2D measures, the neck-shaft angle was smaller in the TFA group compared to the control group (p = 0.01) while greater trochanter height was larger in the TFA group compared to the control group (p = 0.04). These results indicate altered loading from transfemoral prosthesis use changes proximal femur bony morphology, including femoral head asphericity and greater trochanter changes. Greater trochanter morphologic changes, though not a known factor to OA, affect moment arm and line of action of the primary hip abductors, the major muscles which contribute to joint loading and hip stability. Thus, chronic altered loading of the amputated limb hip, whether under- or overloading, results in bony changes to the proximal femur which may contribute to the etiological progression and development of OA.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023; 143:1323-1330.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Femoral head coverage in patients with hip dysplasia (DDH) is typically quantified using 2D measurements of the lateral center edge angle (LCEA) and anterior center edge angle (ACEA). However, as the morphology of DDH is complex and varies between patients, 2D measurements may not predict the true 3D femoral head coverage. Herein, 2D and 3D coverage were quantified before and after curved periacetabular osteotomy (CPO) and their relationships were assessed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-three hips that underwent CPO for DDH were analyzed. For 2D evaluation, LCEA was quantified from X-rays and CT images. The ACEA was measured from CT images (CT-ACEA) and digitally reconstructed radiographs generated from CT images (DRR-ACEA). Three-dimensional coverage was quantified from CT reconstructions of the hip and evaluated in the anterior, superior, posterior, and inferior regions of the femoral head. Two-dimensional measurements were correlated to 3D coverage to assess their relationships. RESULTS The median preoperative 3D percent coverage was 17.7, 36.1, 56.1, and 14.6% for the anterior, superior, posterior, and inferior region, respectively. After CPO, all LCEAs and ACEAs increased significantly (all p < 0.001). For the 3D coverage, anterior and superior coverage significantly increased while the posterior and inferior coverage decreased (all p < 0.001). Moderate to strong correlations were detected between the two LCEAs and the 3D superior coverage in both the preoperative and postoperative period. For the correlation between 3D anterior coverage, no significant correlation was found between the CT-ACEA while a moderate correlation was found between the DRR-ACEA (rs = 0.41, p = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that the LCEA can be used to predict 3D coverage in the superior region of the femoral head. However, as the CT-ACEA or DRR-ACEA had no or only moderate correlation between the 3D anterior coverage, these measurements are not recommended for evaluating/estimating the 3D anterior coverage in patients with DDH.

Abstract
Numerous clinical investigations require understanding changes in anatomical shape over time, such as in dynamic organ cycle characterization or longitudinal analyses (e.g., for disease progression). Spatiotemporal statistical shape modeling (SSM) allows for quantifying and evaluating dynamic shape variation with respect to a cohort or population of interest. Existing data-driven SSM approaches leverage information theory to capture population-level shape variations by learning correspondence-based (landmark) representations of shapes directly from data using entropy-based optimization schemes. These approaches assume sample independence and thus are unsuitable for sequential dynamic shape observations. Previous methods for adapting entropy-based SSM optimization schemes for the spatiotemporal case either utilize a cross-sectional design (ignoring within-subject correlation) or impose other limiting assumptions, such as the linearity of shape dynamics. Here, we present a principled approach to spatiotemporal SSM that relaxes these assumptions to correctly capture population-level shape variation over time. We propose to incorporate modeling the underlying time dependency into correspondence optimization via a regularized principal component polynomial regression. This approach is flexible enough to capture non-linear temporal dynamics while encoding population-specific spatial regularity. We demonstrate our method's efficacy on synthetic data and left atrium segmented from cardiac MRI scans. Our approach better captures the population modes of variation and a statistically significant time dependency than existing methods.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Computer-assisted techniques for surgical treatment of femoral deformities have become increasingly important. In state-of-the-art 3D deformity assessments, the contralateral side is used as template for correction as it commonly represents normal anatomy. Contributing to this, an iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm is used for registration. However, the anatomical sections of the femur with idiosyncratic features, which allow for a consistent deformity assessment with ICP algorithms being unknown. Furthermore, if there is a side-to-side difference, this is not considered in error quantification.
The aim of this study was to analyze the influence and value of the different sections of the femur in 3D assessment of femoral deformities based on the contralateral anatomy.
Material and methods
3D triangular surface models were created from CT of 100 paired femurs (50 cadavers) without pathological anatomy. The femurs were divided into sections of eponymous anatomy of a predefined percentage of the whole femoral length. A surface registration algorithm was applied to superimpose the ipsilateral on the contralateral side. We evaluated 3D femoral contralateral registration (FCR) errors, defined as difference in 3D rotation of the respective femoral section before and after registration to the contralateral side. To compare this method, we quantified the landmark-based femoral torsion (LB FT). This was defined as the intra-individual difference in overall femoral torsion using with a landmark-based method.
Results
Contralateral rotational deviation ranged from 0° to 9.3° of the assessed femoral sections, depending on the section. Among the sections, the FCR error using the proximal diaphyseal area for registration was larger than any other sectional error. A combination of the lesser trochanter and the proximal diaphyseal area showed the smallest error. The LB FT error was significantly larger than any sectional error (p < 0.001).
Conclusion
We demonstrated that if the contralateral femur is used as reconstruction template, the built-in errors with the registration-based approach are smaller than the intraindividual difference of the femoral torsion between both sides. The errors are depending on the section and their idiosyncratic features used for registration. For rotational osteotomies a combination of the lesser trochanter and the proximal diaphyseal area sections seems to allow for a reconstruction with a minimal error.

Abstract
There are considerable limitations associated with the standard 2D imaging currently used for the diagnosis and surgical planning of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of a new patient-specific shape-fitting method that quantifies cam morphology in 3D based solely on preoperative MRI imaging. Preoperative and postoperative 1.5T MRI scans were performed on n = 15 patients to generate 3D models of the proximal femur, in turn used to create the actual and the virtual cam. The actual cams were reconstructed by subtracting the postoperative from the preoperative 3D model and used as reference, while the virtual cams were generated by subtracting the preoperative 3D model from the virtual shape template produced with the shape-fitting method based solely on preoperative MRI scans. The accuracy of the shape-fitting method was tested on all patients by evaluating the agreement between the metrics of height, surface area, and volume that quantified virtual and actual cams. Accuracy of the shape-fitting method was demonstrated obtaining a 97.8% average level of agreement between these metrics. In conclusion, the shape-fitting technique is a noninvasive and patient-specific tool for the quantification and localization of cam morphology. Future studies will include the implementation of the technique within a clinically based software for diagnosis and surgical planning for cam-type FAIS.

Abstract
Clinical investigations of anatomy's structural changes over time could greatly benefit from population-level quantification of shape, or spatiotemporal statistic shape modeling (SSM). Such a tool enables characterizing patient organ cycles or disease progression in relation to a cohort of interest. Constructing shape models requires establishing a quantitative shape representation (e.g., corresponding landmarks). Particle-based shape modeling (PSM) is a data-driven SSM approach that captures population-level shape variations by optimizing landmark placement. However, it assumes cross-sectional study designs and hence has limited statistical power in representing shape changes over time. Existing methods for modeling spatiotemporal or longitudinal shape changes require predefined shape atlases and pre-built shape models that are typically constructed cross-sectionally. This paper proposes a data-driven approach inspired by the PSM method to learn population-level spatiotemporal shape changes directly from shape data. We introduce a novel SSM optimization scheme that produces landmarks that are in correspondence both across the population (inter-subject) and across time-series (intra-subject). We apply the proposed method to 4D cardiac data from atrial-fibrillation patients and demonstrate its efficacy in representing the dynamic change of the left atrium. Furthermore, we show that our method outperforms an image-based approach for spatiotemporal SSM with respect to a generative time-series model, the Linear Dynamical System (LDS). LDS fit using a spatiotemporal shape model optimized via our approach provides better generalization and specificity, indicating it accurately captures the underlying time-dependency.

Prediction of femoral head coverage from articulated statistical shape models of patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip. J Orthop Res 2022; 40:2113-2126. [PMID: 34812545 PMCID: PMC9124729 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Revised: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 11/20/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is commonly described as reduced femoral head coverage due to anterolateral acetabular deficiency. Although reduced coverage is the defining trait of DDH, more subtle and localized anatomic features of the joint are also thought to contribute to symptom development and degeneration. These features are challenging to identify using conventional approaches. Herein, we assessed the morphology of the full femur and hemi-pelvis using an articulated statistical shape model (SSM). The model determined the morphological and pose-based variations associated with DDH in a population of Japanese females and established which of these variations predict coverage. Computed tomography (CT) images of 83 hips from 47 patients were segmented for input into a correspondence-based SSM. The dominant modes of variation in the model initially represented scale and pose. After removal of these factors through individual bone alignment, femoral version and neck-shaft angle, pelvic curvature, and acetabular version dominated the observed variation. Femoral head oblateness and prominence of the acetabular rim and various muscle attachment sites of the femur and hemi-pelvis were found to predict 3D CT-based coverage measurements (R2 = 0.5-0.7 for the full bones, R2 = 0.9 for the joint). Statement of Clinical Significance: Currently, clinical measurements of DDH only consider the morphology of the acetabulum. However, the results of this study demonstrated that variability in femoral head shape and several muscle attachment sites were predictive of femoral head coverage. These morphological differences may provide insight into improved clinical diagnosis and surgical planning based on functional adaptations of patients with DDH.

Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the most common diseases in children. Due to the experience-requiring medical image analysis work, online automatic diagnosis of DDH has intrigued the researchers. Traditional implementation of online diagnosis faces challenges with reliability and interpretability. In this paper, we establish an online diagnosis tool based on a multi-task hourglass network, which can accurately extract landmarks to detect the extent of hip dislocation and predict the age of the femoral head. Our method utilizes a multi-task hourglass network, which trains an encoder-decoder network to regress the landmarks and predict the developmental age for online DDH diagnosis. With the support of precise image analysis and fast GPU computing, our method can help overcome the shortage of medical resources and enable telehealth for DDH diagnosis. Applying this approach to a dataset of DDH X-ray images, we demonstrate 4.64 mean pixel error of landmark detection compared to the results of human experts. Moreover, we can improve the accuracy of the age prediction of femoral heads to 89%. Our online automatic diagnosis system has provided service to 112 patients, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal computational models provide a non-invasive approach to investigate human movement biomechanics. These models could be particularly useful for pediatric applications where in vivo and in vitro biomechanical parameters are difficult or impossible to examine using physical experiments alone. The objective was to develop a novel musculoskeletal subject-specific infant model to investigate hip joint biomechanics during cyclic leg movements. Experimental motion-capture marker data of a supine-lying 2-month-old infant were placed on a generic GAIT 2392 OpenSim model. After scaling the model using body segment anthropometric measurements and joint center locations, inverse kinematics and dynamics were used to estimate hip ranges of motion and moments. For the left hip, a maximum moment of 0.975 Nm and a minimum joint moment of 0.031 Nm were estimated at 34.6° and 65.5° of flexion, respectively. For the right hip, a maximum moment of 0.906 Nm and a minimum joint moment of 0.265 Nm were estimated at 23.4° and 66.5° of flexion, respectively. Results showed agreement with reported values from the literature. Further model refinements and validations are needed to develop and establish a normative infant dataset, which will be particularly important when investigating the movement of infants with pathologies such as developmental dysplasia of the hip. This research represents the first step in the longitudinal development of a model that will critically contribute to our understanding of infant growth and development during the first year of life.

Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) causes hip instability and early-onset osteoarthritis. The focus on pathomechanics in DDH has centered on the shallow acetabulum, however there is growing awareness of the role of femoral deformities in joint damage. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of femoral version (FV) on the muscle and joint reaction forces (JRFs) of dysplastic hips during gait. Magnetic resonance images, in-vivo gait data, and musculoskeletal models were used to calculate JRFs and simulate changes due to varying FV deformities. Rotation about the long axis of the femur was added in the musculoskeletal models to simulate FV values from -5° (relative retroversion) to + 35° (increased anteversion). In our simulations, FV deformities caused the largest changes to the anteroposterior and resultant JRFs. From a normal FV of 15°, a 15° increase in femoral anteversion caused JRFs to be less posterior in early stance (Δ = 0.43 ± 0.22 xbodyweight) and more anterior in late stance (Δ = 0.60 ± 14 xbodyweight). Relative retroversion caused anteroposterior changes that were similar to anteversion in early stance but opposite in late stance. Resultant JRFs experienced the largest changes during late stance where anteversion raised the peak by 0.48 ± 0.15 xbodyweight and relative retroversion lowered the peak by 0.32 ± 0.30 xbodyweight. Increasing anteversion increased hip flexor and abductor muscle forces, which caused the changes in JRFs. Identifying how FV deformities influence hip joint loading can elucidate their role in the mechanisms of hip degeneration in patients with DDH.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated a method allowing the determination of the femur bone surface as well as its mechanical axis from some easy-to-identify bony landmarks. The reconstruction of the whole femur is therefore performed from these landmarks using a Statistical Shape Model (SSM). The aim of this research is therefore to assess the impact of the number, the position, and the accuracy of the landmarks for the reconstruction of the femur and the determination of its related mechanical axis, an important clinical parameter to consider for the lower limb analysis. Two statistical femur models were created from our in-house dataset and a publicly available dataset. Both were evaluated in terms of average point-to-point surface distance error and through the mechanical axis of the femur. Furthermore, the clinical impact of using landmarks on the skin in replacement of bony landmarks is investigated. The predicted proximal femurs from bony landmarks were more accurate compared to on-skin landmarks while both had less than 3.5∘ degrees mechanical axis angle deviation error. The results regarding the non-invasive determination of the mechanical axis are very encouraging and could open very interesting clinical perspectives for the analysis of the lower limb either for orthopedics or functional rehabilitation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the morphology of the femoral medullary canal in subjects with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with the intent of improving the design of femoral stems in total hip arthroplasty. METHODS Computed tomography images of 56 DDH hips, which were classified into Crowe I to Crowe IV, and 30 normal hips were collected and used to reconstruct three-dimensional morphology of the femoral medullary cavity. Images of twenty-one cross sections were taken from 20 mm above the apex of the lesser trochanter to the isthmus. The morphology of femoral cavity was evaluated on each cross section for the longest canal diameter, the femoral medullary torsion angle (FMTA), and the femoral medullary roundness index (FMRI). RESULTS The Crowe IV group displayed the narrowest medullary canal in the region superior to the end of the lesser trochanter, but then gradually aligned with the medullary diameter of the other groups down to the isthmus. The FMTA along the femoral cavity increased with the severity of DDH, but the rate of variation of FMTA along the femoral canal was consistent in the DDH groups. The DDH hips generally showed a larger FMRI than the normal hips, indicating more elliptical shapes. CONCLUSION A femoral stem with a cone shape in the proximal femur and a cylindrical shape for the remainder down to the isthmus may benefit the subjects with severe DDH. This design could protect bone, recover excessive femoral anteversion and facilitate the implantation in the narrow medullary canal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study was carried out based on the background that though proximal femoral varus osteotomy is one of the most effective methods in treating developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), its surgical efficiency and effect need to be improved. METHODS The neck shaft angle and acetabular morphological parameters were measured before and after operation and during clinical follow-up. The Severin criteria and McKay criteria were both adopted to score the measurements. The distance from the center of the femoral head to the medial cutting bone (expressed as C value) and the shortened lengths of the proximal femur (expressed as Δ S) calculated by formula and obtained by actual measurement were compared. RESULTS The neck shaft angle and acetabular morphological parameters after operation and during clinical follow-up were significantly lower than those before operation (P<0.05). The proportion of children with McKay scores of I, II, III, and IV after operation was 50.00%, 41.67%, 8.33%, and 0.00%, respectively; while the proportion of children with Severin scores of I, II, III, and IV was 55.00%, 38.33%, 6.67%, and 0.00%, respectively. There were no significant differences in the C value and Δ S obtained after formula calculation and actual measurement (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The acetabular morphological parameters applied in proximal femoral varus osteotomy are of great value for the treatment of DDH in children.

Abstract
Background Adult developmental dysplasia of the hip is an untreated congenital hip dysplasia that results in adult hip pain. One of the usual and effective methods for the treatment of this condition is periacetabular osteotomy. However, which approach is better between the modified S-P and the I-I approaches is still unclear and controversial. Method and materials We retrospectively assessed our experience with the modified S-P and the I-I approaches by inquiring and evaluating intraoperative blood loss, postoperative radiographic material, postoperative function of the hip, and related complications from July 2014 to January 2019. Results A total of 61 patients with adult developmental dysplasia of the hip were enrolled, and 33 patients were divided into a modified S-P group and 28 patients were divided into I-I group. The operation time and blood loss of group I-I were higher than that of group modified S-P. Other clinical and radiographic indexes showed no statistical significance between group the modified S-P and I-I groups. Conclusion There is no significant difference in the improvement of the function of the hip at the post-operation stage, but group I-I may require more operation time and blood loss at the intra-operation stage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This review aims to identify all examples of the application of statistical shape models to the human hip joint, with a focus on methodology, validation, and applications. INTRODUCTION Abnormal hip joint morphology (eg, deformity secondary to Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease) is an important precursor to osteoarthritis. Clinical radiographs are often used to characterize deformity and provide indication for surgical correction, but it is unclear whether radiographs can adequately describe three-dimensional deformity. Statistical shape modeling, a method of describing a population of shapes using a small number of variables, has been identified as a potential tool that will allow clinicians and researchers to validate current and novel radiographic measurements of hip deformity. In identifying all previous examples of statistical shape modeling applied to the hip joint, this review will determine its prevalence, strengths, and weaknesses, and identify gaps in the literature. INCLUSION CRITERIA Peer-reviewed and gray literature focusing on the development and/or application of statistical shape models to the human hip joint will be included. METHODS Several relevant databases, including Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and IEEE, will be searched for literature published from 1992, and for a title and abstract that can be searched in English. After removal of duplicates, two reviewers will independently screen papers by title and abstract, then screen the full text of selected or uncertain papers. The same reviewers will then independently chart data from the final selection. At each stage, disagreements will be resolved through discussion or third-party arbitration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Statistical shape modelling (SSM) of hip dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans has identified relationships between hip shape and radiographic hip OA (rHOA). We aimed to further elucidate shape characteristics related to rHOA by focusing on subregions identified from whole-hip shape models. METHOD SSM was applied to hip DXAs obtained in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study. Whole-hip shape modes (HSMs) associated with rHOA were combined to form a composite at-risk-shape. Subsequently, subregional HSMs (cam-type and lesser trochanter modes) were built, and associations with rHOA were examined by logistic regression. Subregional HSMs were further characterised, by examining associations with 3D-HSMs derived from concurrent hip CT scans. RESULTS 4,098 participants were identified with hip DXAs and radiographs. Composite shapes from whole-hip HSMs revealed that lesser trochanter size and cam-type femoral head are related to rHOA. From sub-regional models, lesser trochanter mode (LTM)1 [OR 0.74; 95%CI 0.63.0.87] and cam-type mode (CTM)3 [OR 1.27; 1.13.1.42] were associated with rHOA, associations being similar to those for whole hip HSMs. 515 MrOS participants had hip DXAs and 3D-HSMs derived from hip CT scans. LTM1 was associated with 3D-HSMs that also represented a larger lesser trochanter [3D-HSM7 (beta (β)-0.23;-0.33,-0.14) and 3D-HSM9 (β0.36; 0.27.0.45)], and CTM3 with 3D-HSMs describing cam morphology [3D-HSM3 (β-0.16;-0.25,-0.07) and 3D-HSM6 (β 0.19; 0.10.0.28)]. CONCLUSION Subregional SSM of hip DXA scans suggested larger lesser trochanter and cam morphology underlie associations between overall hip shape and rHOA. 3D hip modelling suggests our subregional SSMs represent true anatomical variations in hip shape, warranting further investigation.

Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is characterized by abnormal bony anatomy, which causes detrimental hip joint loading and leads to secondary osteoarthritis. Hip joint loading depends, in part, on muscle-induced joint reaction forces (JRFs), and therefore, is influenced by hip muscle moment arm lengths (MALs) and lines of action (LoAs). The current study used subject-specific musculoskeletal models and in-vivo motion analysis to quantify the effects of DDH bony anatomy on dynamic muscle MALs, LoAs, and their contributions to JRF peaks during early (~17%) and late-stance (~52%) of gait. Compared to healthy hips (N = 15, 16-39 y/o), the abductor muscles in patients with untreated DDH (N = 15, 16-39 y/o) had smaller abduction MALs (e.g. anterior gluteus medius, 35.3 vs. 41.6 mm in early stance, 45.4 vs. 52.6 mm late stance, p ≤ 0.01) and more medially-directed LoAs. Abduction-adduction and rotation MALs also differed for major hip flexors such as rectus femoris and iliacus. The altered MALs in DDH corresponded to higher hip abductor forces, medial JRFs (1.26 vs. 0.87 × BW early stance, p = 0.03), and resultant JRFs (5.71 vs. 4.97 × BW late stance, p = 0.05). DDH anatomy not only affected hip muscle force generation in the primary plane of function, but also their out-of-plane mechanics, which collectively elevated JRFs. Overall, hip muscle MALs and their contributions to JRFs were significantly altered by DDH bony anatomy. Therefore, to better understand the mechanisms of joint degeneration and improve the efficacy of treatments for DDH, the dynamic anatomy-force relationships and multi-planar functions of the whole hip musculature must be collectively considered.

Abstract
A deep learning pipeline was developed and used to localize and classify a variety of implants in the femur contained in whole-body post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) scans. The results provide a proof-of-principle approach for labelling content not described in medical/autopsy reports. The pipeline, which incorporated residual networks and an autoencoder, was trained and tested using n = 450 full-body PMCT scans. For the localization component, Dice scores of 0.99, 0.96, and 0.98 and mean absolute errors of 3.2, 7.1, and 4.2 mm were obtained in the axial, coronal, and sagittal views, respectively. A regression analysis found the orientation of the implant to the scanner axis and also the relative positioning of extremities to be statistically significant factors. For the classification component, test cases were properly labelled as nail (N+), hip replacement (H+), knee replacement (K+) or without-implant (I-) with an accuracy >97%. The recall for I- and H+ cases was 1.00, but fell to 0.82 and 0.65 for cases with K+ and N+. This semi-automatic approach provides a generalized structure for image-based labelling of features, without requiring time-consuming segmentation.

Sex differences in proximal femur shape: findings from a population-based study in adolescents. Sci Rep 2020; 10:4612. [PMID: 32165724 PMCID: PMC7067853 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-61653-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2019] [Accepted: 02/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Hip shape is an important determinant of hip osteoarthritis (OA), which occurs more commonly in women. However, it remains unclear to what extent differences in OA prevalence are attributed to sex differences in hip shape. Here, we explore sex differences in proximal femur shape in a cohort of adolescents. Hip morphology was quantified using hip DXA scans from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Independent modes of variation (hip shape mode (HSM) scores) were generated for each image using an adult reference statistical shape model (N = 19,379). Linear regression was used to examine sex differences for the top ten HSMs, adjusting for age, height, lean and fat mass. Complete outcome and covariate data were available for 4,428 and 4,369 participants at ages 14 and 18 years, respectively. Several HSMs showed sex differences at both time points. The combined effect of sex on hip shape at age 14 reflected flatter femoral head and smaller lesser trochanter in females compared with males and, following adjustment for age and body size, these differences became more pronounced. At age 18, smaller lesser trochanter and femoral neck width (FNW) in females still remained although differences in femoral head, femoral shaft and FNW were largely attenuated following adjustment. Sexual dimorphism in proximal femur shape can be discerned in adolescence and early adulthood. Observed differences in proximal femur shape, particularly at age 14 were largely independent of body size, however to what extent differences in hip shape in early life play a role in predisposing to hip OA in later life remains to be determined.

J Biomech 2020; 98:109464. [PMID: 31708245 PMCID: PMC6930321 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2019.109464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2019] [Revised: 10/01/2019] [Accepted: 10/22/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
Acetabular dysplasia is primarily characterized by an altered acetabular geometry that results in deficient coverage of the femoral head, and is a known cause of hip osteoarthritis. Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a surgical reorientation of the acetabulum to normalize coverage, yet its effect on joint loading is unknown. Our objective was to establish how PAO, simulated with a musculoskeletal model and probabilistic analysis, alters hip joint reaction forces (JRF) in two representative patients of two different acetabular dysplasia subgroups: anterolateral and posterolateral coverage deficiencies. PAO reorientation was simulated within the musculoskeletal model by adding three surgical degrees of freedom to the acetabulum relative to the pelvis (acetabular adduction, acetabular extension, medial translation of the hip joint center). Monte Carlo simulations were performed to generate 2000 unique PAO reorientations for each patient; from which 99% confidence bounds and sensitivity factors were calculated to assess the influence of input variability (PAO reorientation) on output (hip JRF) during gait. Our results indicate that reorientation of the acetabulum alters the lines of action of the hip musculature. Specifically, as the hip joint center was medialized, the moment arm of the hip abductor muscles was increased, which in turn increased the mechanical force-generating capacity of these muscles and decreased joint loading. Independent of subgroup, hip JRF was most sensitive to hip joint center medialization. Results from this study improve understanding of how PAO reorientation affects muscle function differently dependent upon acetabular dysplasia subgrouping and can be used to inform more targeted surgical interventions.

Anat Rec (Hoboken) 2019; 304:258-265.

Abstract
Improved understanding of how three-dimensional (3D) femoral head coverage changes as the pelvic sagittal inclination (PSI) is altered would advance clinical diagnosis of hip pathoanatomy. Herein, we applied computer modeling of 3D computed tomography reconstructions of the pelvis and proximal femur to quantify relationships between the PSI and regional 3D femoral head coverage. Eleven healthy, young adult participants with typically developed hip anatomy were analyzed. The orientation of the pelvis was altered to define a PSI of -30° to 30° at 1° increments. Hip adduction and rotation were fixed in a standing position, which was measured by direct in vivo imaging of the pelvis and femur bones using dual fluoroscopy. Femoral head coverage was quantified in the anterior, superior, posterior, and inferior regions for each PSI position. Change in coverage was largest in the anterior region (29.8%) and smallest in the superior region (6.5%). Coverage increased linearly in the anterior region as the PSI increased, while a linear decrease was found in the posterior region and the inferior region (all p < .001). The slopes of the regression line for these regions were 0.513, -0.316, and -0.255, respectively. For the superior region, coverage increased when the PSI was altered from -30° to 5° and decreased when the PSI was larger than 5°. Overall, a 1° increase in PSI resulted in an increase of 0.5% in anterior coverage and a decrease of 0.3% in posterior coverage. Our findings provide baseline data that improve understanding of the effect of PSI on femoral coverage.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review recent findings concerning the observational relationship between hip shape and hip osteoarthritis (HOA) and their shared genetic influences, and the potential for clinical application. RECENT FINDINGS Recent observational studies have strengthened the evidence that specific shape deformities, such as cam and acetabular dysplasia, are related to HOA. Statistical shape modelling has emerged as a method to measure hip shape holistically, with the added advantage that this can be applied to dual X-ray absorptiometry scan images. This has led to several additional aspects of hip shape variation being identified, such as a wider femoral neck and larger lesser trochanter, in association with HOA. Furthermore, this method has formed the basis of genetic studies identifying novel genetic influences on hip shape, several of which are shared with known genetic risk factors for HOA. SUMMARY Shared genetic influences of hip shape and HOA raise the possibility that hip shape plays a casual role in the development of HOA, justifying preventive approaches aiming to combat these adverse consequences.
