Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative templating is the gold standard in planning elective total knee arthroplasty. This retrospective study analyses preoperative templating by using two different calibration devices. METHODS Preoperative radiographic templating with TraumaCad using two different calibration devices was performed in 231 patients. RESULTS Overall, 60.6% (n = 140) did not match and 39.4% (n = 91) matched for tibial as well as femoral size. Group I showed significantly more combined matches as well as for just the size of the femoral component. CONCLUSIONS In this study, the KingMark calibration should be preferred to standardised ball markers.

Abstract
Preoperative radiological planning is a key factor in the prediction of implant size and positioning that influences surgical time, the risk of complications, and functional outcomes. We have tested the accuracy of the digital templating performed in our hospital for a sample of 215 patients that underwent total hip arthroplasty. We assessed the accuracy of correctly predicting implant size for the femoral and acetabular components, as well as the stem neck length. We found that our method of templating proved accurate (within one size) in 95.8% of cases for the stem and 94.9% for the cup when using the anteroposterior view only, while the lateral view was accurate in 95.8% of cases for the stem and 97.2% for the cup. Exact prediction of the stem size was obtained in 77.7% of cases using the anteroposterior view and 67.0% of cases on the lateral view, and 73.0% and 74.4% of cases for the cup on the AP and LL views, respectively. Stem neck size was predicted exactly in 75.35% of cases and within one size in 93.49% of cases. We concluded that our method of digital templating using dedicated software is highly effective in accurately predicting implant size.

The Adherence of Digital Templating of Cemented Bicondylar Total Knee Arthroplasty Reveals Gender Differences. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12031079. [PMID: 36769727 PMCID: PMC9917635 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12031079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preoperative digital templating is a standard procedure that should help the operating surgeon to perform an accurate intraoperative procedure. To date, a detailed view considering gender differences in templating total knee arthroplasty (TKA), stage of arthrosis, and the surgeons' experience altogether has not been conducted. METHODS A series of 521 patients who underwent bicondylar total knee arthroplasty was analyzed retrospectively for the planning adherence of digital templating in relation to sex, surgeon experience, and stage of arthrosis. Pre- and postoperative X-rays were comparably investigated for planned and implanted total knee arthroplasties. Digital templating was carried out through mediCAD version 6.5.06 (Hectec GmbH, 84032 Altdorf, Germany). For statistical analyses, IBM SPSS version 28 (IBM, 10504 Armonk, NY, US) was used. RESULTS The general planning adherence was 46.3% for the femur and 41.8% for the tibia. The Mann-Whitney U test revealed a gender difference for templating the femur (z = -5.486; p ≤ 0.001) and tibia (z = -3.139; p = 0.002). The surgeon's experience did not show a significant difference through the Kruskal-Wallis test in the femur (K-W H = 4.123; p = 0.127) and the tibia (K-W H = 2.455; p = 0.293). The stage of arthrosis only revealed a significant difference in the planning of the femur (K-L-score (K-W H = 6.516; p = 0.038) alone. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Digital templating for total knee arthroplasty brought up gender differences, with oversized implants for women and undersized implants for men. A high stage of femoral arthrosis can lead to the under and oversized planning of the surgeon. Since the surgeon's experience in planning did not show an effect on the adherence to templating, the beneficial effect of digital templating before surgery should be discussed.

[PMID: 35248750 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.02.100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-related and surgery-related factors have been shown to be drivers of outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA); however, the impact of intersurgeon variability is poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to assess the following: (1) overall effect of surgeon on 1-year patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, and 90-day readmission following THA; and (2) variability in 1-year PROMs among surgeons. METHODS A prospective cohort of 3,695 patients who underwent THA between 2016 and 2018 was included. Seventy-eight percent of patients completed 1-year follow-up. Thirty-one surgeons from a large healthcare system were included. Likelihood ratio tests analyzed the relationship among surgeon and 1-year Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)-Pain, HOOS-Physical Function Short-Form, HOOS-Joint Replacement, University of California, Los Angeles activity score, Patient Acceptable Symptom State, LOS, discharge disposition, and 90-day readmission. Mixed-effect proportional odds and logistic regression models were used to determine variable importance for each outcome. RESULTS In total, 90.5% of patients responded positively to 1-year Patient Acceptable Symptom State. There was a significant association among surgeon and 1-year PROMs, LOS, discharge disposition (P < .001), and readmission (P = .002). For HOOS-Pain, Physical Function Short-Form, and Joint Replacement, surgeon (Akaike information criterion increase: 34.6, 18.7, 17.1, respectively) was a greater contributor to outcome than patient-level factors, including age, gender, and comorbidity. Differences in the highest and lowest median probability of achieving any given score on 1-year PROMs ranged from 11% to 18.5%. Variability was not explained by approach (P = .431) or case volume (correlation coefficient, ρ = 0.19). CONCLUSION Surgeon-level variability appears to be a greater driver of 1-year PROMs than some patient-level characteristics. Incorporating surgeon as a variable is beneficial for model-fitting and important for increasing value in THA.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy and the inter- and intra-observer reliability of preoperative digital 2D templating in prosthesis size prediction for the planning of cemented or uncemented THA. This study was registered in the NIHR PROSPERO database (ID: CRD42020216649) and conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. A search of electronic databases in March 2021 found 29 papers overall. The quality of evidence was assessed using the IHE Quality Appraisal of Case Series Studies Checklist and the CASP Randomised Controlled Trials Checklist. A meta-analysis was conducted, and the accuracy was presented as proportions and the inter- and intra-observer reliability were measured using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Accuracy within one prosthesis size (±1) for cemented stems was 0.89 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83–0.95), cemented cups 0.78 (95% CI 0.67–0.89), uncemented stems 0.74 (95% CI 0.66–0.82) and uncemented cups 0.73 (95% CI 0.67–0.79) (test of group differences: p = 0.010). Inter-observer reliability (ICC) for uncemented cups was 0.88 (95% CI 0.85–0.91), uncemented stems 0.86 (95% CI 0.81–0.91), cemented stems 0.69 (95% CI 0.54–0.84) and cemented cups 0.68 (95% CI 0.55–0.81) (test of group differences: p = 0.004). Due to lack of data, intra-observer reliability (ICC) could only be calculated for uncemented prostheses, which for the stems was 0.90 (95% CI 0.88–0.92) and for the cups was 0.87 (95% CI 0.83–0.90) (test of group differences: p = 0.124). The accuracy of preoperative digital templating is greater for cemented prostheses, but the inter-observer reliability is greater for uncemented prostheses. The intra-observer reliability showed a high level of agreement for uncemented prostheses.

Abstract
The accuracy of pre-operative digital templating for total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the diseased versus unaffected contralateral joint remains unclear. As such, we devised a study to compare templating precision between the operated hip joint versus the healthy side for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). The study hypothesis was that preoperative templating accuracy of THA on the ipsilateral diseased hip joint would be higher compared to the contralateral healthy hip in patients with OA. We retrospectively reviewed 100 patients who underwent THA for unilateral OA at our center from January 2018 to January 2020. Retrospective preoperative digital templating was performed separately on both the operated hip joint and the healthy contralateral hip joint by a single surgeon who was blinded by the in-situ components sizes. Accuracy of each group was compared to the implanted components. Assessment of the 100 included cases demonstrated superior acetabular component size prediction when templating was performed using the diseased hip compared to the healthy contralateral side (68.0% versus 51.0%, p<0.001). No differences between the cohorts were found regarding templating accuracy of femoral stem sizes (72.0% and 69.0%, p=0.375) or neck offset (73.0% and 69.0%, p=0.289). Templating acetabular cup size using the ipsilateral diseased hip is more accurate than using the contralateral healthy hip in patients with unilateral OA.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in dogs is directly related to surgical planning. Templating of radiographs prior to THA should help the surgeon anticipate prosthesis size and femoral shape allowing canal fill of the proximal metaphysis by the implant ensuring primary stable fixation. The canal flare index (CFI) obtained from radiograph has been used as a measure of risk of complications for the technique in human beings and dogs. However, standard radiographs only provide limited data for the selection of cementless prostheses and the assessment of their fit within the femoral canal, due to factors like radiographic magnification and femoral rotation. Therefore, three-dimensional evaluation based on computed tomography (CT) may be a better tool for CFI measurement. The aim of this study was to compare anatomical measurement with CFI values obtained from craniocaudal radiography and CT. Craniocaudal radiographs using a horizontal radiographic beam (CR), CT, and anatomical macroscopic measurements (A) were obtained from 45 femurs from 23 canine cadavers. The differences between the values of CFI obtained from radiograph (CFI-R), computed tomography on transverse (CFI- TT) and longitudinal axis (CFI-TL) compared to the CFI obtained from macroscopic measurements - gold standard - (CFI-A), and 95% limits of agreement (LOA) between the values, were evaluated by the Bland-Altman method. Dimensions obtained from CT techniques had a greatest mean difference from anatomical and CFI values were also different (P=0.032). Under the experimental conditions, the craniocaudal radiograph, provided the most accurate measurement of the CFI (mean difference: 0.087 ± 0.42).
