Sci Rep 2024; 14:12469.

Abstract
Poor implantation positioning of hip prostheses is considered the primary factor affecting postoperative joint wear. Cup anteversion in direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often excessive. Intraoperative fluoroscopy (IF) are effective for improving implant placement accuracy. This study aimed to analyze IF's reliability and accuracy in assessing intraoperative anteversion. Sixty-two consecutive hips underwent primary THA utilizing DAA alongside IF for cup placement. Intraoperative anteversion was measured using IF images, while postoperative CT and standard anteroposterior (AP) radiographs were used to calculate true anteversion component angles. Differences and correlations between intraoperative and true anteversions were analyzed, and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) determined the inter- and intra-observer reliabilities. Excellent intra- and inter-observer reliabilities were observed for all radiographic and CT methods (ICC > 0.9). Strong correlations (PCC > 0.6) existed between anteversion measured on IF image and postoperative CT and AP pelvic measurements. Intraoperative anteversion measured on IF images (16.8 ± 3.2°) was smaller than anteversion measured postoperatively on AP X-rays (21.3 ± 4.7°, P < 0.001) and CT (22.0 ± 4.9°, P < 0.001), with average differences of 4.5°and 5.3°, respectively. Under several influencing factors, the accuracy of IF in assessing cup anteversion in DAA-THA may be limited. However, this still requires large-sample experiments for verification.

An Intraoperative Method to Minimize Leg Length Discrepancy in Anterior Minimally Invasive Total Hip Arthroplasty-A Prospective Study. J Pers Med 2024; 14:573. [PMID: 38929794 PMCID: PMC11205223 DOI: 10.3390/jpm14060573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
While several intraoperative devices have been described in the literature for assessing leg length discrepancy (LLD), none have been utilized during total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed via the Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery (AMIS) approach. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy and accuracy of a compass device in assessing leg length during THA performed using the AMIS technique. A prospective study was conducted involving 35 patients who consecutively underwent unilateral primary THA using the AMIS technique at our department from September 2017 to December 2018. LLD was measured by comparing preoperative and postoperative anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis, independently assessed by two observers. The mean preoperative LLD was 3.6 (SD 3.9, range, 0.2-19.3) mm. The mean postoperative LLD was 2.5 (SD 3.0, range, 0-12.2) mm. A postoperative LLD of less than 5 mm was observed in 88.2% of cases, with 94.1% having values less than 10 mm. In conclusion, the compass device emerged as a valuable tool for ensuring precise limb length control in THA with the AMIS approach, offering both efficiency and cost-effectiveness in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Controversy remains over whether different surgical approaches exert an impact on the component positioning in total hip arthroplasty. We conducted a retrospective study to reveal the long-term position of prostheses in the first group of patients in China who underwent direct anterior hip arthroplasty. METHODS Collected were data from 350 patients who underwent direct anterior hip arthroplasty between 2008 and 2013, including demographic information, imaging data, Harris hip scores, and surgical complications. Variables, measured radiographically or by CT, included hip offset, leg length discrepancy, component position, and stability within one week after surgery and at the last follow-up. The data were subjected to statistical analysis by using paired t-tests and Pearson chi-square tests. RESULTS Data were harvested by follow-up and self-reported questionnaires. The postoperative follow-up lasted for 13.1 years on average (minimum, 10 years; maximum, 15 years), and the overall survival rate of hip prostheses was 96.3%. The mean Harris score at the final follow-up was 91.8 points. After excluding patients with significant preoperative hip deformities, the incidence of postoperative limb inequality (> 5 mm) was 4.9% at the last follow-up, and the incidence of hip offset discrepancy (> 5 mm) was 14.6%. The overall proportion of the acetabular components located in the Lewinnek safe zone was 77.7%, whereas the proportion of femoral prostheses in the safe zone (< 3° inclination) was 94.0%. Based on the revised data and the last follow-up imaging, the total proportion of acetabular and femoral prostheses with a radiolucence of > 2 mm was 5.1%. CONCLUSION Direct anterior approach hip arthroplasty could achieve excellent component positioning and long-term prosthesis survival in patients without severe hip deformities.

Fused hip conversion to total hip arthroplasty with the direct anterior approach: surgical technique on a regular surgical table under fluoroscopic guidance. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2024; 48:1165-1170.

Abstract
PURPOSE Conversion of a fused hip to a total hip arthroplasty (THA) is technically challenging due to the loss of anatomical references. Here, a reproducible technique using the direct anterior approach (DAA) with a regular surgical table under fluoroscopic guidance is described, which has several advantages over traditional such as lateral or posterior approaches. METHODS There were reported 11 cases of ankylosis hip that were converted to THA using the same surgical technique protocol. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were recorded at 3.2 years of follow-up. A detailed preoperative evaluation was performed, including a pelvis radiological evaluation and magnetic resonance image (MRI) to assess the integrity of the periarticular soft tissue and flexor muscles. RESULTS The DAA has considerable advantages, such as allowing more precise targeting during surgery, avoiding the risk of pseudoarthrosis due to the absence of a trochanteric osteotomy, preserving the abductors, and allowing an easier-to-use of intraoperative fluoroscopy due to the supine position. Besides, the use of a standard table reduces surgical time and allows assessment of limb length, hip stability, and impingement in all planes in an intraoperative dynamic range, which decreases postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Conversion from hip fusion to THA is a rare and complex procedure. The use of DAA with a standard table and fluoroscopy helps to avoid high complications since it allows a dynamic intra-operative examination of the range of motion to rule out impingements, reduces the risk of dislocation, and allows leg lengthening verification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cup inclination in total hip arthroplasty is key to minimising complications. Stereometric effects (parallax) in two-dimensional projections can alter angle measurements. Even for different approaches, fluoroscopy causes different results in the measurement of inclination. A previous study has introduced a corrective factor for intraoperative radiographic cup inclination measurements compared to the postoperative standing radiographs. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to find out whether, first, the correction factor is reproducible and second, whether the correction factor is independent of the surgical approach and C-arm model used. METHODS A series of 377 cases of primary total hip arthroplasty was reviewed. We compared the cup inclination angle in the intraoperative and postoperative radiographic images. Based on this, it was possible to specify a standard of correction factor in defined ranges. RESULTS The mean cup inclination in intraoperative images was 37.47∘ and the mean angle in postoperative images was 41.42, resulting in a mean difference of 3.95∘ with a strong correlation (r= 0.706). CONCLUSION An added correction factor of 4∘ should be respected in intraoperative inclination measurements to adapt for parallax. An increased correction factor of 6∘ in particularly low-positioned cups (< 31∘) and a decreased correction factor of 2∘ in particularly steeply positioned cups (> 43∘) is recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE The position of the acetabular and femoral components is critical for stability and wear resistance. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the fluoroscopy-guided direct anterior approach in the supine position (S-DAA) is more helpful in improving the position of acetabular and femoral components than the fluoroscopy-guided direct anterior approach in the lateral decubitus position (L-DAA). METHODS A retrospective analysis of 76 cases of fluoroscopy-guided direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (38 cases in the S-DAA and 38 cases in the L-DAA group) was performed in one hospital from 2019 to 2021. The differences in inclination, anteversion, femoral offset (FO), global offset (GO), and leg length discrepancy (LLD) measurements during and after surgery were analyzed. The postoperative femoral offset (FO), global offset (GO), leg length discrepancy (LLD), and preoperative and postoperative Harris hip score were compared between the two groups. RESULTS In the S-DAA group, there were no significant differences in the mean intraoperative inclination angle anteversion angle, FO, GO, and LLD compared to the postoperative values, whereas in the L-DAA group, there were significant differences between the intraoperative and postoperative measurements (P < 0.001, P = 0.009, P<0.001, P<0.001 and P = 0.008, respectively). Additionally, there were significant differences in the accuracy of LLD, FO, and GO between the two groups (P < 0.001). Compared with the L-DAA group, the average differences of inclination, anteversion, LLD, FO, and GO during and after operation in the S-DAA group were smaller, and the consistency was higher. There was a significant difference in Harris hip score between the two groups at 1 week after surgery (P = 0.033). There was no significant difference in Harris hip score between 1 month and 3 months after surgery (P = 0.482 and P = 0.797, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In the supine group, the direct anterior approach (DAA) provides more accurate positioning of the acetabular and femoral components. However, there was no significant difference in hip joint function and activity between the two groups at follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Prosthesis awareness is the perception of foreign bodies, which has a critical effect on the function of the prosthetic joint. In total hip arthroplasty (THA), the direct anterior approach (DAA) has more advantages than the posterior approach (PA), including superior rehabilitation outcomes. This study was to evaluate the recovery of "prosthesis awareness" through these two approaches. METHODS Three hundred and seventy-six patients who received THA with either DAA (n = 41) or PA (n = 335) from January 2016 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12), Harris hip score (HHS), and visual analog scale (VAS) analyses were used to evaluate the recovery of "prosthesis awareness" in these patients 2 weeks, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. The student t-test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, chi-square test, and MANOVA were used to compare the differences among groups. RESULTS We found that DAA patients had higher FJS-12 scores than PA patients at 2 weeks (42.15 ± 3.36 vs. 38.09 ± 3.28, p = 0.042), 1 month (49.06 ± 5.14 vs. 41.11 ± 5.21, p = 0.038), and 3 months (53.23 ± 4.07 vs. 48.09 ± 3.71, t = 3.152, p = 0.045). And the recovery rates of FJS-12 scores in DAA and PA groups at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery were 75.46% ± 6.04%, 84.05% ± 6.57%, 91.37% ± 7.13%, and 74.14% ± 5.54%, 78.16% ± 6.01%, 88.23% ± 6.42%, respectively. To compare the recovery effects of the two procedures in more detail, we classified the 12 items in FJS-12 that evaluate different types of gravity center motions into three categories: low-movement group (LG), middle-movement group (MG), and high-movement group (HG). Interestingly, DAA patients had significantly higher HG than PA patients at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after operation (t = 3.225, p = 0.022 at 2 weeks, t = 3.081, p = 0.041 at 1 month and t = 2.783, p = 0.046 at 3 months), whereas no significant differences were observed in LG- and MG-related items. In addition, there were no significant differences in HHS and VAS scores between DAA and PA patients at 2 weeks (p = 0.102, p = 0.093), or from 1 month to 12 months (each p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS DAA-mediated THA is superior to PA in terms of prosthesis adaptability and recovery of hip joint motion in the first 3 months after surgery, especially concerning high-movement gravity center motions.

Abstract
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) may be performed through various approaches; however, depending on the surgical position of the patient, the superiority of lateral or supine position is still debated. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the supine versus lateral position in THA in terms of intraoperative and postoperative outcomes and component placement. The systematic literature search was performed by the use of Cochrane Central, Pub-Med-Medline, and Google Scholar in order to select studies that evaluated clinical outcomes and the outliers of cup alignment for inclination and anteversion between supine and lateral position for hip arthroplasty. Finally, 9 articles were included in this review. The meta-analysis showed no significant differences between the two groups for clinical outcomes, unless for blood loss and VAS (respectively p = 0.05 and p = 0.004 in favour of lateral decubitus). Regarding the number of outliers, the supine decubitus showed significant differences only for the cup anteversion (p = 0.01). However, more prospective studies with a longer follow-up that analyze both clinical and radiological parameters are needed to assess the superiority of supine or lateral patient position for total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Background Restoration of limb length is important in total hip arthroplasty. Clinical evaluation and preoperative templating establish the intended lengthening. The purpose of this study was to assess whether digital fluoroscopic navigation (DF) improved the accuracy of planned lengthening in direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (DAA-THA). Methods Planned lengthening measurements on 100 consecutive unilateral DAA-THA patients, along with patient characteristics, were prospectively collected by 2 surgeons. One surgeon utilized DF to achieve intended length (n = 50), while the other utilized unaided standard fluoroscopy (SF; n = 50). A third surgeon blinded to the procedures assessed actual limb length using an ipsilateral overlay technique on the 6-week postoperative radiograph. The difference between the mean planned and actual limb lengthening stratified by DF and SF was assessed using bivariate and multivariate statistics. Results The mean (standard deviation) planned lengthening in DF and SF groups was 3.96 (2.1) and 3.47 (2.2) mm, respectively. The mean (standard deviation) actual lengthening in DF and SF groups was 3.11 (4.0) and 0.68 (4.6) mm, respectively. After accounting for age, sex, body mass index, laterality, and the Bone Index, multivariate regression results showed that the average difference between planned and actual limb lengthening in the DF group was significantly lower than that in the SF group (β = -1.92; 95% confidence interval: -3.51, -0.33; P < .02). A greater percentage of patients in the DF group (66% vs 40%) were within 3 mm of the intended plan (P < .01). Conclusions Fluoroscopy helps achieve the intended surgical lengthening in DAA-THA. The use of DF resulted in more accurate execution of lengthening.

Abstract
Aim: The primary aim of the study was to determine whether the length of the distal skin incision of the posterolateral approach affects the cup inclination during total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Material and Method: In this study, a cohort of 71 consecutive patients who performed between January 2017 and December 2021 with unilateral THA using a posterolateral approach was retrospectively assessed. Two groups were formed according to acetabular cup inclination with normal anteversion angle. There were 56 hips in the inside group and 17 in the outside group. A curvilinear skin incision of around 13 cm was performed. Component position evaluation was carried out through a radiographic assessment of the acetabular component on an anteroposterior pelvis radiograph. The rate of an outlier was compared between groups according to the safe zone defined as 30° to 50° of inclination and 5° to 25° of anteversion, which was described by Lewinnek et al.
Results: No significant difference in the average total incision length was found between the two groups (p=0.207). While the average distal incision length was 7.91±0.62 cm (range, 6.8-9 cm) in the inside group and 6.37±0.21 cm (range, 6-6.7 cm) in the outside group. According to ROC analysis, a patient with ≤6.7 cm of the distal length of incision (DLI) was 5.71 times more likely to be outside than a patient with >6.7 cm of DLI. Seventeen hips (23.3%) were found outside the safe range. Substantial differences were observed regarding radiographic cup inclination between the two groups (p=0.0001). In the inside group, the average cup inclination was 44.11°±3.44° (range, 37°-50°), whereas, in the outside group, it was 55.41°±2.5° (range, 52°-59°). However, there were no significant differences in the average radiographic cup anteversion between the two groups (p=0.960). Although 11 of 17 (64.5%) patients were classified as obese (BMI ≥30) in the outside group experienced higher rates of inaccurate cup orientation, logistic regression analysis showed that the individual effects of obesity on the occurrence of the inaccurate cup position were not observed (p=0.884). One posterior hip dislocation occurred after one month postoperative in the outside group.
Conclusions: Longer distal portion of the skin incision of the posterolateral approach should be performed to achieve optimal operative inclination angles of the acetabular cup during THA. The surgeon must have no hesitation in extending the distal skin incision when adopting the posterolateral approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This single-surgeon retrospective study examined a consecutive series of direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasties (THAs). Differences for the accuracy of acetabular component placement, leg length discrepancy, femoral offset, and absolute global offset difference were measured for patients who underwent hip replacement surgery with either fluoroscopic or robotic guidance. METHODS One hundred THAs were included in both the fluoroscopically guided and robotically guided groups in the study. The program TraumaCad was used to analyze the preoperative and 6-week postoperative standing anteroposterior pelvic radiographs used in this study to evaluate the accuracy of component positioning. RESULTS Robotic-guided surgery demonstrated a small improvement in acetabular inclination error, 3.8° average robotic error vs 4.63° average fluoroscopic error (P < .01). There was no statistically significant difference in accuracy for acetabular anteversion, leg length discrepancy, femoral offset, or global offset difference between the 2 groups. There was also no significant difference in the placement of acetabular components into the Lewinnek safe zone or Callanan safe zone. Both fluoroscopically guided and robotically guided THA patients had similar patterns of error, with excessive anteversion and inclination being more common than inadequate anteversion or inclination. CONCLUSION The findings from our study question the use of haptic robotic guidance during direct anterior approach THA when compared to fluoroscopic guidance.

Accuracy and Reliability of Software Navigation for Acetabular Component Placement in THA: An In Vitro Validation Study. Medicina (B Aires) 2022; 58:medicina58050663. [PMID: 35630080 PMCID: PMC9147218 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58050663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Revised: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Intraoperative fluoroscopy can be used to increase the accuracy of the acetabular component positioning during total hip arthroplasty. However, given the three-dimensional nature of cup positioning, it can be difficult to accurately assess inclination and anteversion angles based on two-dimensional imaging. The purpose of this study is to validate a novel method for calculating the 3D orientation of the acetabular cup from 2D fluoroscopic imaging. Materials and Methods: An acetabular cup was implanted into a radio-opaque pelvis model in nine positions sequentially, and the inclination and anteversion angles were collected in each position using two methods: (1) a coordinate measurement machine (CMM) was used to establish a digitalized anatomical coordinate frame based on pelvic landmarks of the cadaveric specimen, and the 3D position of the cup was then expressed with respect to the anatomical planes; (2) AP radiographic images were collected, and a mathematical formula was utilized to calculate the 3D inclination and anteversion based on the 2D images. The results of each method were compared, and interrater and intrarater reliably of the 2D method were calculated. Results: Interrater reliability was excellent, with an interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.988 (95% CI 0.975–0.994) for anteversion and 0.997 (95% CI 0.991–0.999) for inclination, as was intrarater reliability, with an ICC of 0.995 (95% CI 0.985–0.998) for anteversion and 0.998 (95% CI 0.994–0.999) for inclination. Intermethod accuracy was excellent with an ICC of 0.986 (95% CI: 0.972–0.993) for anteversion and 0.993 (95% CI: 0.989–0.995) for inclination. The Bland–Altman limit of agreement, which represents the error between the 2D and 3D methods, was found to range between 2 to 5 degrees. Conclusions: This data validates the proposed methodology to calculate 3D anteversion and inclination angles based on 2D fluoroscopic images to within five degrees. This method can be utilized to improve acetabular component placing intraoperatively and to check component placement postoperatively.

World J Orthop 2021; 12:850-858. [PMID: 34888145 PMCID: PMC8613680 DOI: 10.5312/wjo.v12.i11.850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Revised: 07/28/2021] [Accepted: 09/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a supine position provides a unique opportunity to assess leg length discrepancy (LLD) intra-operatively with fluoroscopy. Reported fluoroscopic techniques are useful but are generally complicated or costly. Despite the use of multiple techniques for leg length assessment, LLD continues to be a major post-operative source of patient dissatisfaction further emphasizing the importance of near-anatomic restoration. The utility of an alternative direct measurement of LLD on an intra-operative fluoroscopic pelvic image during DAA THA has not been reported.
AIM To determine the reliability of a novel simple intra-operative measurement of LLD using a parallel line technique on a single fluoroscopic digital image of the pelvis.
METHODS One hundred and seventy-one patients who underwent DAA THA were included for analysis. Intra-operative fluoroscopic and post-operative anterior-posterior radiographs were imported to TraumaCad and calibrated for LLD measurement. LLD was measured on each image using the right-left hip differences in lesser trochanter to pelvic reference line distances. Pelvic reference points included the teardrops and ischia. Fluoroscopic LLD was compared to the gold-standard measurement of LLD measured on a post-operative radiograph.
RESULTS Mean absolute difference in teardrop referenced LLD between fluoroscopic and post-operative radiographs was 2.17 mm and based on the ischia mean absolute difference was 2.63 mm. Linear regression of fluoroscopic and post-operative radiograph LLD based on teardrop and ischia LLD found r2 values of 0.57 and 0.84, respectively. Mean absolute difference between fluoroscopic and post-operative x-ray LLD was within 5 mm in 95% of cases regardless of pelvic reference.
CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that a single fluoroscopic view obtained during DAA THA for leg length assessment is clinically useful.

Radiation exposure in fluoroscopy-guided anterior total hip arthroplasty: a systematic review. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2021; 32:891-897. [PMID: 34159480 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-021-03060-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the average fluoroscopy time, as well as the patient and surgical staff average radiation exposure in the context of intraoperative fluoroscopy use during anterior total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus were systematically searched for studies pertaining to intraoperative anterior THA fluoroscopy (PROSPERO ID 258049). The comprehensive literary search was conducted using "THA," "fluoroscopy" and "radiation exposure" as the search criteria, which resulted in 187 total papers. Of these 187 papers, 11 studies were included in this systematic review as they involved anterior THA and specifically contained data regarding radiation exposure dose and/or time. RESULTS Eleven studies were included, enrolling 1839 patients. The average fluoroscopy time was 21.4 (95% confidence interval [CI] 16.6-26.1) seconds, whereas the average patient radiation dose was 1.8 × 10-3 (95% CI 7.4 × 10-4-2.9 × 10-3) Gy. CONCLUSIONS Although several studies fail to report fluoroscopy time and radiation dose in THA patients, fluoroscopy-guided THA has emerged as a safe procedure. Additional studies may analyze if radiation exposure during the surgeon's THA learning curve is significantly higher, as well as what protocols may potentially reduce radiation exposure even further.

Abstract
CASE A patient with Aitken type A proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD) and significant limb length discrepancy managed with total hip arthroplasty making use of a novel technique that features a direct anterior approach (DAA) and a subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy. CONCLUSION Although the current description of the shortening osteotomy is for PFFD, it is versatile enough to allow its application in other hip pathologies requiring subtrochanteric shortening in the setting of total hip arthroplasty. The authors believe that the description of this case report and surgical technique may be an option for the experienced DAA surgeon.

Abstract
PURPOSE Direct anterior approach (DAA) has recently become popular in total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, irrespective of the surgical approach used, component malposition is an important factor affecting function and complications after THA. This study aims to compare component positioning on the femoral and acetabular side between DAA and posterior approach (PA) to the hip joint. We hypothesized that the two approaches are similar in terms of component positioning. METHODS We prospectively studied 50 patients, matched according to age, sex, and body mass index, undergoing THA, divided non-randomly into 2 groups. Group 1 comprised 25 patients (35 hips) undergoing THA using DAA and group 2 comprised 25 patients (25 hips) undergoing THA using PA. Ten patients from group 1 had simultaneous bilateral THA. Radiological parameters studied were acetabular inclination (AI), coronal femoral stem alignment (CFA), leg length difference (LLD), acetabular cup version (AV), and femoral stem version (FV). RESULTS There was no significant difference in AI, CFA, LLD, AV, and FV between the two groups. Excellent to good inter and intra-observer reliability expressed in terms of intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was noted for all the radiographic measurements. CONCLUSION Both DAA and PA for THA achieve comparable radiological component positioning. DAA may not provide any advantage over PA in terms of positioning of the prosthesis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, non-randomized comparative study.

Targeting the safe zones for cup position without fluoroscopic guidance in total hip arthroplasty: does the surgical approach affect the outcomes? EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2021; 31:1471-1476.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proper acetabular cup positioning is crucial for achieving implant longevity and stability in total hip arthroplasty (THA). One of the elements that may affect the accuracy and precision of the positioning of the cup is the type of surgical approach used. This study compares the accuracy and the precision of conventional free-hand acetabular cup positioning relative to different "safe zones" in two groups of patients operated with THA using two different surgical approach. METHODS Retrospective radiological comparative matched-pair controlled study of two groups of patients operated with primary THA: the first group was operated in supine decubitus with a mini-invasive direct anterior approach (DA group), the second group was operated in lateral decubitus with a conventional posterolateral approach (PL group). Cup inclination and anteversion were assessed using the digital planning software TraumaCad. Cup position in the two groups were compared in terms of accuracy and precision. RESULTS Forty four patients were enrolled for each group. The DA group showed a less inclined and less anteverted cup compared to the PL group (respectively 38.5 ± 5.2 vs. 49.6 ± 5.6 and 16.2 ± 3.6 vs. 22.9 ± 6.4; p < 0.01). The DA group showed a significantly higher percentage of cups within the "safe zone" in 4 out of 6 reference zones and a significantly lower variance in anteversion (12.96 vs. 40.96, p < .01). There was no difference in the variance for inclination. CONCLUSIONS Our study found greater accuracy and precision in the positioning of the cup when surgery was performed through a direct anterior approach compared to the posterolateral approach due to the supine position of the patient which allows greater stability of the pelvis during surgery and makes it easier to target the desired angular references for cup positioning.

Abstract
Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has demonstrated excellent results regardless of the surgical approach. However, the approach used may be a factor in final positioning of implants. We hypothesized that the direct anterior approach (DAA) with fluoroscopy would be associated with more anatomic implant positioning than the posterior approach (PA). Methods A retrospective review of 200 patients was performed. One hundred patients underwent THA utilizing the PA, and 100 patients, with the DAA. All patients had an anterior-posterior pelvis radiograph preoperatively and postoperatively with a magnification marker present to standardize each radiograph. Exclusion criteria included contralateral THA or any pelvic or femoral deformity. Results Preoperative radiographs demonstrated identical cohorts with respect to leg length, femoral offset, and total offset. Postoperatively, the DAA achieved more accurate anatomic restoration of leg length (1.6 mm vs 5.5 mm; P < .0001), femoral offset (4.8 mm vs 9.3 mm; P < .0001), and total offset (0.5 mm vs 4.7 mm; P < .0001) compared with the PA. Ideal cup abduction and anteversion were significantly superior to the DAA (96% vs 78%, P = .0002, and 69% vs 24%, P < .0001, respectively). Conclusions This study is the first to compare anatomic implant positioning between patients undergoing THA with these 2 approaches. All parameters were significantly closer to anatomic implant positioning with the DAA. There are at least 2 potential explanations for this: (1) The DAA implant positioning was performed under fluoroscopic guidance, whereas the PA was not. (2) The PA disrupts the posterior capsule and external rotators, and therefore, increased offset or leg length may be necessary to achieve comparable hip stability with the DAA.

Abstract
PURPOSE Supine positioning and the use of fluoroscopy during direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (DAA THA) have been reported to improve acetabular component positioning. This study aims to compare 2-dimensional intraoperative radiographic RadLink measurements of acetabular component position with 3-dimensional postoperative 3D SterEOS measurements. METHODS Intraoperative fluoroscopy and RadLink (El Segundo, CA, USA) were used to measure acetabular cup position intraoperatively in 48 consecutive patients undergoing DAA THA. Cup position was measured on 6-week postoperative standing EOS images using 3D SterEOS software (EOS Imaging, SA, Paris, France) and compared to RadLink findings using Student's t-test. Safe-zone outliers were identified. We evaluated for measurement difference of > +/- 5°. RESULTS RadLink acetabular cup abduction measurement (mean 43.0°) was not significantly different than 3D SterEOS in the anatomic plane (mean 42.6°, p = 0.50) or in the functional plane (mean 42.7°, p = 0.61). RadLink acetabular cup anteversion measurement (mean 17.9°) was significantly different than 3D SterEOS in both the anatomic plane (mean 20.6°, p = 0.022) and the functional plane (mean 21.2°, p = 0.002). RadLink identified 2 cups outside of the safe-zone. However, SterEOS identified 12 (anatomic plane) and 10 (functional plane) outside of the safe-zone. In the functional plane, 58% of anteversion and 92% of abduction RadLink measurements were within +/- 5° of 3D SterEOS. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative fluoroscopic RadLink acetabular anteversion measurements are significantly different than 3D SterEOS measurements, while abduction measurements are similar. Significantly more acetabular cups were noted to be outside of the safe-zone when evaluated with 3D SterEOS versus RadLink.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intraoperative radiographic evaluation during total hip arthroplasty (THA) has shown to improve the accuracy of acetabular component placement, however, differences in interpretation based on radiographic technique has not been established. This study aims to determine if differences exist in the interpretation of acetabular component abduction and anteversion between different radiographic projections. METHODS 55 consecutive direct anterior THAs in 49 patients were prospectively enrolled. Target anteversion and abduction was defined by the Lewinnek zone. Fluoroscopy was used to direct acetabular component placement intraoperatively. After final cup implantation, fluoroscopic posterior-anterior hip and pelvis images were obtained for analysis. After completion of the procedure, an anterior-posterior plain pelvis radiograph was obtained in the operating room. Acetabulum component abduction and anteversion were postoperatively determined using specialised software on each of the 3 image acquisition methods. RESULTS Average acetabular cup abduction for intraoperative fluoroscopic posterior-anterior hip (FH), intraoperative fluoroscopic posterior-anterior pelvis (FP), and postoperative, standard, anteroposterior pelvis radiographs (PP) was 40.95° ± 2.87°, 38.87° ± 3.82° and 41.73° ± 2.96° respectively. The fluoroscopic hip and fluoroscopic pelvis tended to underestimate acetabular cup abduction compared to the postoperative pelvis (p < 0.001). Average acetabular cup anteversion for FH, FP, and PP was 19.89° ± 4.87°, 24.38° ± 5.31° and 13.36° ± 3.52° respectively. Both the fluoroscopic hip and fluoroscopic pelvis overestimated anteversion compared to the AP pelvis, with a 6.38° greater mean value measurement for FH (p < 0.001), and an 11° greater mean value measurement for FP (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Fluoroscopic technique and differences between radiographic projections may result in discrepancies in component position interpretation. Our results support the use of the fluoroscopic posterior-anterior hip as the choice fluoroscopic imaging technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A systematic review and meta-analysis were used to directly evaluate the direct anterior approach (DAA) and the posterior approach (PA) for early efficacy and safety of total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS Control-led trials assessing DAA and PA for the efficacy and safety of THA were searched in the database. Articles were reviewed according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria; the quality of the methodology included in a given study was strictly assessed before data extraction. Moreover, meta-analysis was performed for outcomes that can be combined; otherwise, descriptive analysis was performed. RESULTS There were 20 articles included, with a total of 7377 patients. Among these, 3728 and 3649 cases were in the DAA and PA groups, respectively. There was no difference between the DAA and PA groups at postoperative week 2 in the number of patients using the assistive ambulatory device or in time needed to completely discontinue all assistive ambulatory devices. Descriptive analysis found that DAA was slightly better than PA regarding early functional recovery and activity after surgery, as well as postoperative pain relief. Hospitalisation stay in the DAA group was shorter than in the PA group, in which the patients had a shorter operative time. Radiographic outcomes showed that there was little difference in prosthetic position between the DAA and PA groups. The proportions of intraoperative fractures and postoperative lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (LCNT) neuropraxia were significantly higher in the DAA group than in patients who underwent PA. CONCLUSION Compared with PA, DAA presents superior early recovery following THA.

Direct Anterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty Using a Morphometrically Optimized Femoral Stem, a Conventional Operating Table, Without Fluoroscopy. J Arthroplasty 2019; 34:327-332. [PMID: 30448326 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2018.10.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2018] [Revised: 10/12/2018] [Accepted: 10/18/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our experience with direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (THA) suggests that it can be performed successfully with a morphometrically optimized metaphyseal-diaphyseal engaging femoral stem (NOT a short stem), a regular operating room table (NOT a special custom table), and WITHOUT intraoperative fluoroscopy. We report our minimum 2-year results. METHODS A retrospective review of a single-surgeon series of primary direct anterior approach THAs was performed. All procedures were performed on a regular table, without fluoroscopy, using a cementless tapered femoral stem. Clinical, functional, and radiographic outcomes were evaluated at a minimum of 2 years. RESULTS In total, 1017 primary THAs were performed. The preoperative Harris Hip Score was 40.7 ± 5.1 and improved to 95.3 ± 4.2 at minimum 2-year follow-up. There were 3 dislocations (0.3%) and 15 revisions (1.5%): 7 for infection (0.7%), 4 for periprosthetic fractures (0.4%), 2 for instability (0.2%), 1 for loosening (0.1%), and 1 for pain (0.1%). Five patients (0.5%) required blood transfusion. One patient developed deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. No intraoperative fractures, perforation, or THA-related mortality occurred. Neutral stem alignment was confirmed in 98.3%. Mean cup inclination was 38.8° ± 5.1° and anteversion was 16.2° ± 3.5°. The mean leg-length discrepancy was corrected from 1.2 ± 0.2 cm preoperatively to 0.2 ± 0.1 cm postoperatively. CONCLUSION Using a morphometrically optimized metaphyseal-diaphyseal engaging tapered femoral stem instead of a short stem reduces component malposition and minimizes risk of loosening. Combining the use of this implant design and the technique and elements described in our cohort demonstrated to have excellent results at 2 years. The patients will need continued follow-up to demonstrate further durability of this device and technique compared to others performing direct anterior THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One potential benefit of the direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty is the ability to use intraoperative fluoroscopy for acetabular cup positioning and limb-length evaluation. Previous studies comparing the use of fluoroscopy with an anterior approach to a posterior approach have reported conflicting results. To our knowledge, no prior study has compared acetabular cup position and limb-length discrepancy (LLD) using a DAA with and without fluoroscopy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 298 patients who underwent direct anterior total hip arthroplasty with or without intraoperative fluoroscopy. All procedures were performed by 2 surgeons who use DAA as their primary approach. Preoperative and 6-week postoperative low anteroposterior pelvis and cross-table lateral radiographs were reviewed by 3 independent surgeons. Acetabular cup inclination, anteversion, and LLD were measured and compared. RESULTS Thirty-three patients were excluded for inadequate imaging, leaving 125 patients in the fluoroscopy group and 140 patients in the nonfluoroscopy group. Mean inclination, anteversion, and LLD were 39.4° (95% confidence interval [CI], 38.5°-40.2°), 30.2° (95% CI, 29.2°-31.2°), and 1.1 mm (95% CI, 0.1 mm-2.2 mm) for the fluoroscopy group and 39.9° (95% CI, 39.3°-40.5°), 31.1° (95% CI, 30.0°-32.2°), and 0.8 mm (95% CI, -0.1 mm to 1.6 mm) for the nonfluoroscopy group. There was no significant difference in acetabular inclination (P = .35), anteversion (P = .22), or postoperative LLD (P = .64) between groups. CONCLUSION This study found no clinically or statistically significant difference in acetabular inclination, anteversion, or LLD between the fluoroscopy and nonfluoroscopy groups. Both surgeons achieved a similar mean acetabular cup position and an equivalent mean LLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative fluoroscopy aims to improve component position in total hip arthroplasty. Measurement bias related to image quality, however, has not been quantified. We aim to quantify measurement bias in the interpretation of acetabular component position as a function of pelvis and fluoroscopic beam position in a simulated supine total hip arthroplasty model. METHODS Posterior-anterior pelvis and hip images were obtained using a previously described pelvic model with known acetabular component position. Pelvic position was varied in 5° increments of pelvis rotation (iliac-obturator) and tilt (inlet-outlet), and in 1 cm increments from beam center in cranial-caudal and medial-lateral planes. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the relationship between the resulting bias in interpretation of component position relative to pelvis position. RESULTS Anteversion and abduction measurement bias increased exponentially with increasing deviation in rotation and tilt. Greater bias occurred for anteversion than for abduction. Hip centered images were less affected by pelvis malposition than pelvis centered images. Deviations of beam center within 5 cm in the coronal plane did not introduce measurement bias greater than 5°. An arbitrarily defined acceptable bias of ±5° for both abduction and anteversion was used to identify a range of optimum pelvic positioning each for hip and pelvis centered imaging. CONCLUSION Accurate measurement of acetabular component abduction and anteversion, especially anteversion, is sensitive to proper pelvic position relative to the chosen radiographic plane. An acceptable measurement bias of ±5° is achieved when the pelvis is oriented within a newly identified range of optimum pelvic positioning.

Abstract
Reproducibly achieving proper implant alignment is a critical step in total hip arthroplasty procedures that has been shown to substantially affect patient outcome. In current practice, correct alignment of the acetabular cup is verified in C-arm x-ray images that are acquired in an anterior-posterior (AP) view. Favorable surgical outcome is, therefore, heavily dependent on the surgeon's experience in understanding the 3-D orientation of a hemispheric implant from 2-D AP projection images. This work proposes an easy to use intraoperative component planning system based on two C-arm x-ray images that are combined with 3-D augmented reality (AR) visualization that simplifies impactor and cup placement according to the planning by providing a real-time RGBD data overlay. We evaluate the feasibility of our system in a user study comprising four orthopedic surgeons at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and report errors in translation, anteversion, and abduction as low as 1.98 mm, 1.10 deg, and 0.53 deg, respectively. The promising performance of this AR solution shows that deploying this system could eliminate the need for excessive radiation, simplify the intervention, and enable reproducibly accurate placement of acetabular implants.

Abstract
Direct anterior approach (DAA) with the patient lying supine has facilitated the use of intraoperative fluoroscopy and allows for standardized positioning of the patient. The current study presents a new technique to measure acetabular component anteversion using intraoperative fluoroscopy. The current paper describes a mathematical formula to calculate true acetabular component anteversion based on the acetabular component abduction angle and the c-arm tilt angle (CaT). The CaT is determined by tilting the c-arm until an external pelvic oblique radiograph with the equatorial plane of the acetabular component perpendicular to the fluoroscopy receptor is obtained. CaT is determined by direct reading on the C-arm device. The technique was validated using a radiopaque synbone model comparing the described technique to computed tomography anteversion measurement. The experiment was repeated 25 times. The difference in anteversion between the two measuring techniques was on average 0.2° (range -3.0-3.1). The linear regression coefficients evaluating the agreement between the experimental and control methods were 0.99 (95%CI 0.88-1.10, p < 0.001) and 0.33 (95%CI -1.53-2.20, p = 0.713) for the slope and intercept, respectively. The current study confirms that the described three-step c-arm acetabular cup measuring technique can reproducibly and reliably assess acetabular component anteversion in the supine position, as compared to CT-imaging. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An encouraging result with direct anterior approach (DAA) is attractive for both patients and surgeons. However, the risks associated with beginning to use DAA require further analysis of the learning curve and better countermeasures to ensure safety. We ask whether the complication rate in the DAA by the inexperienced surgeon could be decreased with specific countermeasures. Our hypothesis was that the complication rate would be low even in early phase of the learning curve using the DAA with these particular countermeasures. PATIENTS AND METHODS We investigated a consecutive series of 120 primary THA using the DAA with four specific countermeasures; 1) defined exclusion criteria for DAA; 2) no positioning table; 3) use of fluoroscopy as much as required; and 4) having an experienced assistant for DAA (one who has performed the procedure in more than 100 cases). The operative time, the time of fluoroscopic use during the operation, intra and post-operative complications, re-operation for any reason, and cup and stem alignment were investigated. RESULTS Although the operation times were similar, the duration of fluoroscopy decreased with surgeons' experience. There were no intra-operative complications and no re-operations for any reason. One anterior dislocation was observed in one patient. The mean cup inclination and anteversion angle was 39.7° ± 7.6° and 30.3° ± 7.6°; 43.3 % of stems were positioned in flexion, 55.8 % in the neutral position on the lateral view. CONCLUSION We demonstrated a lower complication rate during our early experience with the DAA using four countermeasures. Using these countermeasures for the first 40 cases may be useful for surgeons who are considering DAA.
