Intraoperative fluoroscopic confirmation of the knee improves the accuracy of stem anteversion in total hip arthroplasty with direct anterior approach using traction table. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2024:10.1007/s00402-024-05509-w. [PMID: 39230718 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-024-05509-w] [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: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stem anteversion (SA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is crucial for postoperative outcomes, affecting dislocation risk and hip function. Accurate SA placement is challenged by intraoperative estimation methods, with discrepancies reported between predicted and true SA. This study investigates the effect of conventional methods and intraoperative fluoroscopic confirmation on SA accuracy in THA performed with a direct anterior approach using a traction table. METHODS This involves 200 patients undergoing primary THA from August 2019 to January 2023, divided into a conventional group (n = 100) and a fluoroscopic group (n = 100). Postoperative SA measurements were conducted using computed tomography scans. Statistical analysis focused on comparing the SA angles and the prevalence of excessive SA (≥>35° and ≥>40°) between the groups. RESULTS The fluoroscopic group showed a lower average SA angle (24.3° ± 8.3°) compared to the conventional group (30.0° ± 11.3°), with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.01). Excessive SA (≥>40°) was found in 17% of the conventional group, significantly reduced to 5% in the fluoroscopic group (p < 0.01). Similarly, SA exceeding 35° was present in 39% of the conventional group, compared to only 11% in the fluoroscopic group (p < 0.01), indicating a substantial reduction in excessive SA placements with fluoroscopic guidance. DISCUSSION The study demonstrates that intraoperative fluoroscopic guidance significantly enhances the accuracy of SA placement in THA, reducing the variability and proportion of excessive SA. This suggests a critical reevaluation of conventional estimation methods in favor of fluoroscopic confirmation to improve surgical outcomes. CONCLUSION Intraoperative fluoroscopic confirmation of knee external rotation angle markedly decreases the proportion of excessive SA and enhances the precision of stem placement in THA with a direct anterior approach. This technique represents a significant advancement in surgical practice, offering a simple and effective method to achieve optimal postoperative results.

J Orthop Sci 2024; 29:1235-1241. [PMID: 37596167 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2023.08.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative stem anteversion, which is the angle between the lower leg axis and the trial-stem axis with hip flexion and adduction, is generally evaluated by the surgeon's visual estimation during total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the conventional approach can be influenced by knee osteoarthritis or uncertain surgeon's observation point. Therefore, we developed a new method for measuring the stem anteversion angle in the neutral hip position using an original rod attached to the trial-stem perpendicular to the long axis and parallel to the stem neck. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of our method in comparison with the conventional method of measuring intraoperative stem anteversion angle. METHODS We measured the intraoperative stem anteversion angle in consecutive 106 hips of 106 patients who underwent cementless primary THA with a tapered wedge stem. Absolute error in the stem anteversion angle was expressed as the difference between intraoperative (common vs. neutral hip positions) and postoperative computed tomography measurements, i.e., true stem anteversion. Additionally, we investigated the factors affecting these errors. RESULTS The absolute error of measurement was significantly smaller in the neutral hip position than in the common position (3.0° ± 2.5° vs. 8.0° ± 3.9°; p < 0.0001). The factor associated with the error was advanced knee osteoarthritis in the common position, whereas it was not statistically significant in the neutral hip position. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that the error in the intraoperative measurement of stem anteversion is decreased by measuring in the neutral hip position during THA.

Abstract
Augmented reality (AR) has been used for navigation during total hip arthroplasty (THA). AR computed tomography (CT)-based navigation systems and AR-based portable navigation systems that use smartphones can also be used. This study compared the accuracy of cup insertion during THA using AR-CT-based and portable AR-based navigation systems. Patients with symptomatic hip disease who underwent primary THA in the supine position using both AR CT-based and portable AR-based navigation systems simultaneously between October 2021 and July 2023 were included. The primary outcome of this study was the absolute difference between cup angles in the intraoperative navigation record and those measured on postoperative CT. The secondary outcome was to determine the factors affecting the absolute value of the navigation error in radiographic inclination (RI) and radiographic anteversion (RA) of the cup, including sex, age, body mass index, left or right side, approach, and preoperative pelvic tilt. This study included 94 consecutive patients. There were 11 men and 83 women, with a mean age of 68 years. The mean absolute errors of RI were 2.7° ± 2.0° in the AR CT-based and 3.3° ± 2.4° in the portable AR-based navigation system. The mean absolute errors of RA were 2.5° ± 2.1° in the AR CT-based navigation system and 2.3° ± 2.2° in the portable AR-based navigation system. No significant differences were observed in RI or RA of the cup between the two navigation systems (RI: p = 0.706; RA: p = 0.329). No significant factors affected the absolute value of the navigation errors in RI and RA. In conclusion, there were no differences in the accuracy of cup insertion between the AR CT-based and portable AR-based navigation systems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy of acetabular cup positioning between the accelerometer-based navigation system and the augmented reality-based navigation system during THA in the supine position. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 66 patients (70 hips) who underwent THA using two types of portable navigation system, Hip Align or AR-Hip, in the spine position. The absolute difference between the intraoperative navigation record and postoperative measurement using computed tomography data was evaluated. Preoperative clinical factors that decreased the accuracy of cup positioning by ≥ 3° were analyzed via multiple logistic regression analyses. RESULTS The average absolute error of inclination was 2.8 ± 2.6° in Hip Align and 2.7 ± 1.8° in AR-Hip, and absolute anteversion error was 2.5 ± 2.0° in Hip Align and 2.6 ± 2.2° in AR-Hip, and there was no significantly different between the two navigation systems. There was a significant association between the absolute measurement error (≥ 3°) of cup inclination and patients' BMI in the Hip Align group [odds ratio (OR) 1.350; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.035-1.760; p = 0.027], but not in the AR-Hip group. CONCLUSIONS The accuracy of the acetabular cup positioning between the Hip Align and AR-Hip showed no difference during THA in the spine position. The high BMI could have negative influence on the accuracy of cup positioning in THA using Hip Align, thus AR-Hip could be designable for obesity patients.

Abstract
The intraoperative measurement of the femoral version (FV) has gained attention in wake of an optimised combined version (CV) philosophy. Whereas some data is available utilising different approaches, to our belief this study provides the first in vivo FV data in DA-THA using the MAKO™ robot. To improve the accuracy of the femoral stem version in DA-THA, we want to ask the following question: How effectively can we reproduce the native femoral version in DA- THA using the MAKO™ robot? The first 125 total hip cases through DAA with the use of the combined anteversion concept and the help of the MAKO™ robot from a single institution, single surgeon from January 2020 to July 2021 were retrospectively analysed. The native version (NV) and broach version (BV) were determined with the use of the MAKO™ preoperative computed tomography planning software. The data of the NV and BV of 115 withheld patients was normally distributed. The native femoral version ranged from -12° till 33° (mean 7,8° +/- 8,1) and the broach version ranged from -18° till 43° (mean 8,2° +/- 9,9). The Pearson correlation coefficient between the NV and BV was 0,78. The native femoral version can be reproduced by broaching the proximal femur, in a robotically implanted direct anterior cementless THA, with 78% effectiveness. Stem placement seemed to be more precise with growing experience, however this appeared not to be significant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combined anteversion theory to prevent impingement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been proposed. However, because stem-anteversion is influenced by the native femoral anteversion and the stem flexion/extension angle, it is often difficult to adjust stem anteversion during surgery. Therefore, the stem-first (combined anteversion) technique may be useful to adjust and achieve appropriate cup anteversion during surgery with respect to the implanted stem anteversion angle. However, the technique may adversely affect cup or stem angle accuracy and result in intra-operative bleeding, post-operative adverse events, and prolonged operative time. It is inconclusive whether either the stem-first or cup-first technique is safe or accurate. Therefore, this study assessed the accuracy and safety of stem-first THA compared to those of cup-first THA. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective randomised controlled trial analysed 114 patients who were randomly divided into 2 groups (stem-first group: n = 57, cup-first group (control group): n = 57). Primary outcomes included cup and stem angle, the discrepancies from the targeted angle and combined anteversion (evaluated via CT at 3 months postoperatively). Secondary outcomes included intraoperative blood loss, operative time, WOMAC, and adverse events. RESULTS There were no significant differences in age, gender, BMI or in the primary and secondary outcomes between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS Performing stem-first in THA did not adversely affect cup and stem angle accuracy, or result in intraoperative bleeding, prolongation of operative time, or postoperative adverse events. Thus, performing stem-first may be advantageous for achieving combined anteversion theory. TRIAL REGISTRATION University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) registration number UMIN000025189.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study compared the accuracy of three dimensional (3D) mini-optical navigation and accelerometer-based portable navigation systems for cup positioning during a total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the supine position. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study assessed data for 77 hips using 3D mini-optical navigation (n = 37) and accelerometer-based portable navigation (n = 40). The patients underwent THA through the mini-anterolateral approach in the supine position using a portable navigation system. We assessed the preoperative target angles, recorded intraoperative cup angles, postoperative CT imaging angles, cup angle measurement errors, and other clinical parameters. RESULTS The mean absolute differences in radiographic inclination were similar between 3D mini-optical navigation and accelerometer-based portable navigation systems during THA in the supine position (2.8° ± 1.7° vs 2.8° ± 1.9°, p = 0.637). The mean absolute differences in radiographic anteversion were also similar (2.6° ± 2.3° vs 2.5° ± 1.9°, p = 0.737). Cup malalignment (absolute difference of inclination or anteversion between postoperative CT and preoperative target angle of > 5°) was significantly associated with body mass index (BMI) in accelerometer-based portable navigation but not in 3D mini-optical navigation. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to compare the accuracy of cup positioning between 3D mini-optical and accelerometer-based navigations in THA in the supine position. Both portable navigation systems accurately identified the orientation of cup placement. The accuracy of 3D mini-optical navigation is not affected by high BMI and may be preferred over other options in such patients.

Image-Less THA Cup Navigation in Clinical Routine Setup: Individual Adjustments, Accuracy, Precision, and Robustness. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58060832.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Even after the ‘death’ of Lewinnek’s safe zone, the orientation of the prosthetic cup in total hip arthroplasty is crucial for success. Accurate cup placement can be achieved with surgical navigation systems. The literature lacks study cohorts with large numbers of hips because postoperative computer tomography is required for the reproducible evaluation of the acetabular component position. To overcome this limitation, we used a validated software program, HipMatch, to accurately assess the cup orientation based on an anterior-posterior pelvic X-ray. The aim of this study were to (1) determine the intraoperative ‘individual adjustment’ of the cup positioning compared to the widely suggested target values of 40° of inclination and 15° of anteversion, and evaluate the (2) ‘accuracy’, (3) ‘precision’, and (4) robustness, regarding systematic errors, of an image-free navigation system in routine clinical use. Material and Methods: We performed a retrospective, accuracy study in a single surgeon case series of 367 navigated primary total hip arthroplasties (PiGalileoTM, Smith+Nephew) through an anterolateral approach performed between January 2011 and August 2018. The individual adjustments were defined as the differences between the target cup orientation (40° of inclination, 15° of anteversion) and the intraoperative registration with the navigation software. The accuracy was the difference between the intraoperative captured cup orientation and the actual postoperative cup orientation determined by HipMatch. The precision was analyzed by the standard deviation of the difference between the intraoperative registered and the actual cup orientation. The outliers were detected using the Tukey method. Results: Compared to the target value (40° inclination, 15° anteversion), the individual adjustments showed that the cups are impacted in higher inclination (mean 3.2° ± 1.6°, range, (−2)−18°) and higher anteversion (mean 5.0° ± 7.0°, range, (−15)−23°) (p < 0.001). The accuracy of the navigated cup placement was −1.7° ± 3.0°, ((−15)−11°) for inclination, and −4.9° ± 6.2° ((−28)−18°) for anteversion (p < 0.001). Precision of the system was higher for inclination (standard deviation SD 3.0°) compared to anteversion (SD 6.2°) (p < 0.001). We found no difference in the prevalence of outliers for inclination (1.9% (7 out of 367)) compared to anteversion (1.63% (6 out of 367), p = 0.78). The Bland-Altman analysis showed that the differences between the intraoperatively captured final position and the postoperatively determined actual position were spread evenly and randomly for inclination and anteversion. Conclusion: The evaluation of an image-less navigation system in this large study cohort provides accurate and reliable intraoperative feedback. The accuracy and the precision were inferior compared to CT-based navigation systems particularly regarding the anteversion. However the assessed values are certainly within a clinically acceptable range. This use of image-less navigation offers an additional tool to address challenging hip prothesis in the context of the hip−spine relationship to achieve adequate placement of the acetabular components with a minimum of outliers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the accuracy of acetabular cup insertion using a novel accelerometer-based navigation system in total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS A single-surgeon study was conducted in which 62 prospective patients with navigation and 42 retrospective patients without navigation in a supine position were compared. Absolute values for errors of radiographic inclination and anteversion were calculated. Navigation error was also calculated. Factors that affected absolute value of navigation error in cup alignment were determined. RESULTS In the navigation group, mean absolute errors for radiographic inclination and anteversion were 4.1° and 4.3°, respectively. In the control group, mean absolute errors were 6.6° in inclination (p < 0.01) and 5.9° in anteversion (p = 0.04). Mean absolute values of navigation error were 2.8° in inclination and 2.8°in anteversion. Factors affecting navigation errors were not found. CONCLUSION This novel accelerometer-based navigation system significantly increased the accuracy of cup placement during THA in the supine position.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously proposed an accurate cup placement procedure using a portable navigation system (PNS) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the lateral decubitus position; however, as the accuracy of our proposed procedure has not been shown, the aim of this study was to demonstrate the accuracy. METHODS We prospectively analyzed 79 hips treated with primary THA; 40 hips treated until June 2020 were included in the conventional procedure (CP) group, and 39 hips treated from July 2020 were included in the modified procedure (MP) group. In the MP, pelvic orientation is considered to the set coordinate axes in addition to the CP using the PNS. The accuracy was based on the difference between the navigation record (NR) and postoperative computed tomography measurement. RESULTS The radiographic inclination (RI) and anteversion (RA) accuracies were 1.55° and 2.14°, respectively, in the MP group and 3.03° and 6.20°, respectively, in the CP group (p < 0.001). The error was within 5° of the NR for both the RI and RA in 34 in the MP group (87.2%) and 14 in the CP group (35.0%) (p < 0.001). The error was within 5° of the target angle (RI 40°, RA 15°) for both the RI and RA in 29 hips in the MP group (74.7%) and 12 in the CP group (30.0%) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our procedure with the consideration of pelvic orientation achieved dramatically improved the accuracy of PNS and was suitable to facilitate accurate cup placement.

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
PURPOSE To evaluate cup-positioning accuracy in total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a novel angle-adjusting alignment guide with laser pointer and determine whether level of surgical experience affects accuracy of cup placement or not. METHODS We included 117 hips in 104 patients who underwent THA using the novel guide. We retrospectively reviewed 44 hips in 40 patients who underwent THA before the novel guide was introduced. We compared differences in cup angles between the novel guide group and the conventional guide group as well as the discrepancies in targeted angles between the experienced surgeon group and the inexperienced surgeon group. RESULTS There were 114/117 hips (97.4%) within the Lewinnek safe zone in the novel guide group and 32/44 hips (72.7%) within the safe zone in the conventional guide group. There were significantly fewer outliers in the novel guide group (p < 0.001). In the experienced surgeon group, the mean absolute errors in inclination and anteversion were 2.0 ± 1.7° and 2.1 ± 2.3°, respectively; which were not significantly different from those in the inexperienced surgeon group (2.3 ± 2.1° and 2.8 ± 2.3°, respectively). CONCLUSION The novel angle-adjusting alignment guide with laser pointer is a simple tool that provides better accuracy of cup position than that obtained using conventional guides. Accurate cup placement is possible using the novel guide, regardless of surgeons' experience.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of acetabular cup insertion during total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a supine position using an accelerometer-based portable navigation system. A single-surgeon study was conducted in which 62 prospective patients with navigation and 42 retrospective patients without navigation as historical controls were compared. The patients underwent THA via an anterolateral supine approach. The absolute values of errors of radiographic inclination and anteversion were calculated. The navigation error was also calculated. The factors that affected the absolute values of errors of cup alignment were determined. The mean absolute error of the postoperative CT measurement from the target angle for radiographic inclination was 3.8° in the navigation group and 6.6° in the control group (P < 0.001). The mean absolute error for anteversion was 3.3° in the navigation group and 5.9° in the control group (P < 0.001). The mean absolute values of navigation error were 3.7° ± 2.8° in inclination and 3.0° ± 2.6° in anteversion. Changes in the pelvic tilt angle among preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative were the significant risk factors for the absolute values of navigation error of anteversion relative to the anterior pelvic plane. Other factors affecting the absolute values of errors in the navigation group were not found for radiographic inclination and anteversion. The portable navigation system significantly improved the accuracy of cup inclination and anteversion. Changes in the pelvic tilt were the risk factors for the error of anteversion relative to the anterior pelvic plane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery systems have great potential, but no review has focused on computer-assisted surgery systems for the spine, hip, and knee. METHODS A systematic search was performed in Web of Science and PubMed. We searched the literature on computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery systems from 2008 to the present and focused on three aspects of systems: training, planning, and intraoperative navigation. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In this review study, we reviewed 34 surgical training systems, 31 surgical planning systems, and 41 surgical navigation systems. The functions and characteristics of the surgical systems were compared and analysed, and the current concerns about and the impact of the surgical systems on doctors and surgery were clarified. CONCLUSION Computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery systems are still in the development stage. Future surgical training systems should include synthetic models with patient anatomy. Surgical planning systems with automatic planning should be developed, and surgical navigation systems with multimodal fusion, robotic assistance and imaging should be developed.

Abstract
Background During total hip arthroplasty (THA), the accurate placement of the femoral components is an important determinant of the success of the procedure. This study assessed the accuracy of cemented stem placement using a new angle-measuring instrument. The primary objective was to investigate the accuracy of the intraoperative measurements of cemented stem anteversion obtained using the angle-measuring instrument. Our secondary objective was to evaluate the accuracy of stem positioning performed using the angle-measuring instrument. Methods We compared the intraoperative stem anteversion measurements obtained using the angle-measuring instrument with postoperative stem anteversion measurements obtained using computed tomography in 149 hips (measurement accuracy). We also compared the target angle and postoperative stem anteversion in 105 hips (implantation accuracy). Results The mean amount of intraoperative stem anteversion was 37.9° ± 10.1°, and the mean amount of postoperative stem anteversion was 37.0° ± 10.4°. The mean measurement accuracy was 0.9° ± 6.1°, and the absolute measurement accuracy was 4.9° ± 3.7°. The correlation coefficient for the relationship between the intraoperative and postoperative stem anteversion measurements was 0.824 (p = 0.000). The mean amount of target angle was 37.4° ± 7.6°, and the mean amount of postoperative stem anteversion was 35.9° ± 9.1°. The mean implantation accuracy was 1.4° ± 5.6°, and the mean absolute implantation accuracy was 4.3° ± 3.6°. The correlation coefficient for the relationship between the target angle and postoperative stem anteversion was 0.795 (p = 0.000). Conclusions The angle-measuring instrument measured intraoperative stem anteversion accurately, and cemented stem was implanted accurately during THA with the angle-measuring instrument.

New combined anteversion technique in hybrid THA: cup-first procedure with CT-based navigation. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2019; 30:465-472. [PMID: 31705402 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-019-02589-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2019] [Accepted: 11/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Combined anteversion (CA) technique (stem-first procedure) is generally accepted as the optimal technique to attain an appropriate CA value in total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, cup anteversion is strongly influenced by the native femoral anteversion. Accordingly, anterior protrusion of the cup in the acetabulum might occur. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the achievement of the optimal CA while avoiding anterior cup protrusion and examine the significance of our new CA technique with cup-first procedure in hybrid THA. METHODS Seventy-nine hybrid THAs with the cup-first procedure used a CT-based navigation system for cup positioning. In the preoperative planning, cup anteversion was aimed at approximately 20°. However, in actuality, sufficient cup coverage in the original acetabulum based on individual anatomy is given priority over cup placement based on CT-based planning to ensure adequate cup coverage. The target stem anteversion was determined following Widmer's mathematical formula (37.3 = femoral stem anteversion × 0.7 + cup anteversion). Cemented stem was inserted according to the target stem anteversion angle. RESULTS Regarding the assessment of overall alignment, the calculated Widmer's CA values during surgery and postoperative CT evaluation were 34.1° ± 6.0° (range 20.7°-51.2°) and 35.1° ± 6.7° (range 21.6°-50.7°). There were 72 hips (91.1%) within 25°-50° of CA. Cup protrusion length averaged 2.0 mm ± 2.6 mm (0-8.8 mm) in the axial view and 0.4 mm ± 1.0 mm (0-3.6 mm) in the sagittal view. Cup protrusion length of more than 5 mm was indicated in 10 hips, and no hips observed more than 10 mm. CONCLUSION Our new CA technique (cup-first procedure) with hybrid THA was able to achieve optimal CA value while avoiding anterior cup protrusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for Crowe type IV are poorer than for Crowe type I, because it is more difficult to accurately position the acetabular components. This study aimed to examine the accuracy of the computed tomography (CT)-based navigation system for acetabular component positioning in primary THA for Crowe type IV. METHODS From 2006 to 2018, 29 patients who underwent 34 primary THAs for Crowe type IV were enrolled in the "Type IV" group and 32 patients who underwent 34 THAs for Crowe type I were enrolled in the "Type I" group, formed by matching patients in the Type IV group on age, gender, body mass index, and surgical approach. We investigated (1) the accuracy of the cup size between that at preoperative planning and that actually implanted and (2) the mean deviation of the cup angle and 3-dimensional position of acetabular components between preoperative plan and postoperative records. RESULTS The accuracy of the cup size was 79.4% and 94.1% in the Type IV and Type I groups, respectively, without a statistically significant change detected (P = .075). The mean deviations of the cup angle and 3-dimensional position were comparable in both groups. CONCLUSION Using the CT-based navigation system, it was possible to accurately implant the acetabular component for Crowe type IV, and the accuracy was comparable to that for Crowe type I. The CT-based navigation system is a useful intraoperative tool to accurately implant the acetabular component, especially with severe pelvic deformities such as Crowe type IV.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the impact of spinopelvic parameters and hip contracture on change in the pelvic tilt (PT) after Total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods One hundred patients (15 male and 85 female) who underwent THA were included in this prospective study. Radiographic data were obtained preoperatively and 1 year after THA. Radiographic parameters included sagittal anterior pelvic plane (APP), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), sacral slope (SS), pelvic inclination (PI), and lumbar lordosis angle (LL). The APP was defined as the angle between the anterior pelvic plane and the vertical plane. A positive value indicates pelvic retroversion. Postoperative changes in PT were divided into three groups: the PA group (pelvic anteversion, ΔAPP < −5°), the PR group (pelvic retroversion, ΔAPP > 5°), and the PT group (minimal change, ΔAPP ≤ ± 5°). The Kruskal–Wallis test and the Steel–Dwass test were used to compare the preoperative and postoperative spinopelvic parameters among the three groups. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between ΔAPP and spinopelvic parameters. Results Minimal change in pelvic tilt was observed in 59% of patients, while pelvic anteversion was observed in 16% of patients and pelvic retroversion was observed in 25% of patients. There were no significant changes in the spinopelvic parameters, including TK, LL, SVA, LL, SS, and APP after THA. The Femoral angle (FA) was significantly decreased after THA (P < 0.001). Preoperative APP was significantly more retroverted in the PA group than the PR group, and the PT group (6.8 ± 12.2, 0.2 ± 9.9, −8.3 ± 8.3, P < 0.001). Preoperative SS, PI‐LL, and PI were significantly smaller in the PA group than the PT group and the PR group. A significant negative correlation was identified between preoperative APP and ΔAPP (r = −0.418, P < 0.001). Conclusion Approximately 60% of the patients did not have any marked change in PT after THA. Preoperative APP was the only predictive factor associated with marked anterior or posterior change in PT.

BACKGROUND To compare the clinical efficacy between Orthopilot navigation system and conventional manual surgery in total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS Electronic databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating Orthopilot navigation system versus conventional manual in patients undergoing THA. Outcome measurements include anteversion angle, inclination angle, preoperative leg length discrepancy, postoperative leg length discrepancy and femoral offset. Statistical software Stata 12.0 was used for data-analysis. RESULTS A total of 5 studies were finally included in this meta-analysis. The results showed that the conventional manual group have a less anteversion angle than that in Orthopilot navigation system group (weighted mean difference (WMD) = 4.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 3.53, 5.82, P = .000). And pooled analysis showed that the inclination angle in Orthopilot navigation group was less than that in conventional manual group (WMD = -4.19, 95% CI = -8.00, -0.37, P = .031). There was no significant difference between the preoperative leg length discrepancy and postoperative leg length discrepancy (P > .05). Orthopilot navigation system compared with conventional manual procedure was associated with decreased of femoral offset by 2.76 (WMD = -2.76, 95%CI = -3.90, -1.62, P = .000). CONCLUSION Both Orthopilot navigation system and conventional THA result in significant improvements in patient function with similar overall complication rates and have their own edges in cup position.

Abstract
Introduction:
We have developed and utilized the Gravity-guide (G-guide) as a simple manual instrument for intraoperative assessment and adjustment of stem anteversion (AV). Since 2013, we simultaneously measured stem AV using the G-guide and image-free navigation during THA procedure. The purpose of this study was to compare the measurement accuracy of the G-guide and navigation system using the postoperative CT results as a reference.
Methods:
In total, 59 hips in 56 patients who underwent primary THA using both the G-guide and image-free navigation system were included in the study. All patients underwent postoperative CT examination, and the femoral stem AV was assessed using a 3D image analysis system (Zed hip, LEXI, Japan). The AV angle derived from the postoperative CT image analysis was used as the reference value to assess the accuracy of the two intraoperative measurement systems.
Results:
The discrepancy between the G-guide and the postoperative CT-measured values averaged 5.0° ± 3.9°, while the corresponding value for the navigation system was 5.2° ± 4.1°. Acceptable accuracy with a measurement error of less than 10° was achieved in 86% and 90% of the cases for the G-guide and navigation measurements respectively.
Conclusion:
Consequently, it was shown that both navigation and G-guide measurements can achieve comparative accuracy and are clinically useful.

Total hip arthroplasty using stem-first technique with navigation: the potential of achievement of the optimal combined anteversion being a risk factor for anterior cup protrusion. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2019; 29:807-812. [PMID: 30656429 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-019-02383-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2018] [Accepted: 01/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE In the combined anteversion (CA) technique for total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a cementless stem, cup anteversion is strongly influenced by the native femoral anteversion. It is hypothesized that in cases with large native femoral anteversion, cup anteversion can be decreased, and anterior cup protrusion from the anterior edge of the acetabulum could occur due to the achievement of optimal CA. In this study, the accuracy of CA in THA with the CA technique using imageless navigation and the relationship between the protrusion of the anterior edge of cup and optimum CA was retrospectively evaluated. METHODS Ninety-seven patients (104 hips) who underwent primary THA by the CA technique using image-free navigation were enrolled in the study. The femoral stem was placed following the individual femoral anteversion so that the target cup anteversion could be determined following a mathematical formula (37 = femoral stem anteversion × 0.7 + cup anteversion). Results The resulting CA values effectively achieved accurate CA with 39.49 ± 5.03° postoperatively. On the other hand, anterior cup protrusion was measured by computed tomography image. A cup protrusion length of more than 3 mm was indicated for 60 cases (57.7%). All included patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 as protrusion positive and Group 2 as protrusion negative. In Group 1, preoperative femoral anteversion and postoperative stem anteversion were significantly higher, while postoperative cup anteversion was significantly lower. However, the postoperative CA value indicated no significant difference between the groups. CONCLUSIONS The CA (stem-first) technique with image-free navigated THA could effectively achieve accurate CA. On the other hand, a large number of cases revealed anterior cup protrusion due to the low cup anteversion.

Abstract
Objective This study was performed to compare the clinical efficacy between the OrthoPilot navigation system and conventional manual surgery in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Methods The Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases were searched for clinical trials. The outcome measurements were the anteversion angle, inclination angle, and complications. Review Manager 5.3 statistical software was used for the data analysis. Results Significant differences were found in the femoral offset and overall complication rate between the conventional and navigation groups. Additionally, the conventional group had significantly less anteversion than the navigation group. However, the navigation group had significantly better inclination. The operation time was significantly shorter in the conventional than navigation group. Conclusion Both the OrthoPilot navigation system and conventional total hip arthroplasty result in significant improvements in patient function with similar overall complication rates and have their own advantages in achieving good cup position. The conventional procedure has a shorter operation time than does use of a navigation system.

Abstract
PURPOSE To avoid malalignment of components during hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA), we used a computed tomography (CT)-based navigation system for guidance. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical accuracy and precision of HRA performed using the CT-based navigation systems. METHODS HRA was performed on 17 hips guided by the CT-based navigation systems. We measured cup alignment deviation, deviation of the stem position, and alignment from the plan by image matching between pre-operative and post-operative CT images. RESULTS Cup anteversion was within 5° of that in the plan in all cases. Cup inclination was within 5° of that in the plan in 82.4% and within 10° in all cases. The angular difference of the stem was within 5° in all cases, and the entry point of the stem was within 4 mm in all cases. CONCLUSION The CT-based navigation system for HRA guided accurate component placement according to the plan.

Abstract
A computed tomography (CT)-based navigation system is one of the support tools to place implant with appropriate alignment and position in total hip arthroplasty (THA). To determine whether the higher performance of the navigation would further improve the accuracy of implant placement in the clinical setting, we retrospectively compared the navigation accuracy of two different versions of a navigation system. The newer version of the navigation system had an upgraded optical sensor with superior positional accuracy. Navigation accuracy, defined as differences between postoperative measurements on CT images and intraoperative records on the navigation system, of 49 THAs performed with the newer version of the navigation system was compared with that of 49 THAs performed with the older version. With the newer version, the mean absolute accuracy (95% limits of agreement) of implant alignment was 1.2° (± 3.3°) for cup inclination, 1.0° (± 2.4°) for cup anteversion, 2.0° (± 4.9°) for stem anteversion, and 1.1° (± 2.4°) for stem valgus angle. The accuracy of the implant position was 1.5 mm (± 3.1 mm), 1.3 mm (± 3.0 mm), and 1.5 mm (± 3.1 mm) for cup x-, y-, and z-axes, respectively, 1.6 mm (± 3.2 mm), 1.4 mm (± 2.9 mm), and 1.5 mm (± 2.7 mm) for stem x-, y-, and z-axes, respectively, and 2.4 mm (± 4.5 mm) for leg length discrepancy. The values for the newer version were significantly more accurate with less variation compared to those of the older version. With upgraded navigation performance, more accurate implant placement was demonstrated in the clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Appropriate stem anteversion is important for achieving stability of the prosthetic joint in total hip arthroplasty. Anteversion of a cementless femoral stem is affected by the femoral canal morphology and varies according to stem geometry. We investigated the difference and variation of the increase in anteversion between 2 types of cementless stems, and the correlation between each stem and the preoperative femoral anteversion. METHODS We retrospectively compared 2 groups of hips that underwent total hip arthroplasty using a metaphyseal filling stem (78 hips) or a tapered wedge stem (83 hips). All the patients had osteoarthritis due to hip dysplasia. Computed tomography was used to measure preoperative femoral anteversion at 5 levels and postoperative stem anteversion. RESULTS The increase in anteversion of the tapered wedge stem group (22.7° ± 11.6°) was more than that of the metaphyseal filling stem group (17.2° ± 8.3°; P = .0007). The variation of the increase in the tapered wedge stem group was significantly larger than that in the metaphyseal filling stem group (P = .0016). The metaphyseal filling stem group was more highly and positively correlated with femoral anteversion than the tapered wedge stem group. CONCLUSION Femoral anteversion affects stem anteversion differently according to stem geometry. The tapered wedge stems had greater variation of the increase in anteversion than did the metaphyseal filling stems. Based on the results of this study, it is difficult to preoperatively estimate the increase in stem anteversion for tapered wedge stems.

Abstract
Navigation in primary total hip arthroplasty has a history of over 20 years. During this process, imageless computer navigation can be particularly helpful in optimally restoring the hip’s biomechanics. This involves the accurate placement of the acetabular component with the determination of the anteversion and abduction, whereby the navigated femur-first technique also allows for a calculation of the combined anteversion. Additional critical parameters such as the reconstruction of the rotation centre, as well as the femoral and acetabular offset, can also be optimally adjusted. Last but not least, an intra-operative evaluation and equalisation of the leg length is possible. Nonetheless, the disadvantages of this surgical technique in terms of the high costs in the acquisition and preservation of the necessary devices, as well as the longer operation time, must be taken into account. However, economic aspects are not the only thing preventing widespread use of the navigation technique. Determining the plane of reference (APP) for the optimal orientation of the implants is based on palpation of the bony landmarks – and this is influenced by the thickness of the soft tissue layer. Furthermore, the experience of the surgeon constitutes a variable that influences the accuracy of navigation. In summary, hip navigation certainly offers an interesting technique for the optimisation of total hip arthroplasty with reconstruction of proper biomechanics. At the same time, there is currently a lack of high-quality randomised controlled long-term trials that evaluate the clinical advantage for the patients, together with cost utility and survival rates.
