The effect of intraoperative fluoroscopy on acetabular component positioning and patient anatomy restoration during total hip arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e39528. [PMID: 39287287 PMCID: PMC11404973 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000039528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In total hip arthroplasty (THA), the positioning of components holds critical importance for factors such as joint stability, polyethylene liner wear, and range of motion. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the effects of intraoperative fluoroscopy (IF) versus no use of IF on component positioning and the restoration of patient anatomy during THA. METHODS We conducted our systematic review following the recommendations outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline. The literature search was performed from the inception of medical databases up to August 2023. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, Cochrane Library, Highwire, Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biology Medicine Disc (CBM), and China Science and Technology Journal (CSTD) databases were systematically searched to identify relevant studies comparing IF versus no IF during primary THA. RESULTS Thirteen studies involving 2195 patients (2207 hips) were incorporated in the Analysis. No statistically significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of acetabular cup inclination angle (ACIA, P = .9), ACIA within the safe zone rate (P = .87), acetabular cup anteversion angle (ACAA, P = .42), ACAA within the safe zone rate (P = .35), combined safe zone rate (P = .30), limb length difference (LLD, P = .13), dislocation rate (P = .76), and infection rate (P = .97). In comparison to the no fluoroscopy group, the IF group exhibited prolonged operation time (P < .00001) and reduced femoral component offset difference (FCOD, P = .03). CONCLUSION IF did not demonstrate improvements in acetabular cup placement, limb length difference, or dislocation occurrence. Nonetheless, IF showed a significant enhancement in restoring femoral offset. It is noteworthy that surgeons operating in facilities with lower patient volumes may observe more pronounced benefits from IF.

Intraoperative Fluoroscopy Versus Navigation to Determine Cup Anteversion in Direct Anterior Total Hip Replacement: A Technical Trick for Obtaining "True" Anteversion. Arthroplast Today 2024; 27:101426.

Abstract
During acetabular cup positioning, intraoperative measurements of cup anteversion were taken using both fluoroscopy and navigation system. With the C-arm introduced at 40°, an anteroposterior view of the pelvis is taken. The C-arm is then centered over the hip, showing an anteverted cup with an approximate inclination of 40°. The axial C-arm is tilted away until the cup opening is visualized as a straight line, indicating that the beam of the fluoroscopy is aligned with the cup's anteversion. The tilt angle on the C-arm and anteversion reading on the navigation workstation were recorded. The high degree of agreement between fluoroscopic and navigation measurement of acetabular cup anteversion supports the use of fluoroscopy in settings with limited access to navigation systems in direct anterior total hip arthroplasty.

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.

A meta-analysis. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:586. [PMID: 37553600 PMCID: PMC10410871 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04023-w] [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: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The positioning of implant components for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is essential for joint stability, polyethylene liner wear, and range of motion. One potential benefit of the direct anterior approach (DAA) for THA is the ability to use intraoperative fluoroscopy for acetabular cup positioning and limb-length evaluation. Previous studies comparing intraoperative fluoroscopy with no fluoroscopy during DAA have reported conflicting results. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether intraoperative fluoroscopy improves component positioning compared to no fluoroscopy during direct anterior total hip arthroplasty. METHODS A systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines was conducted. We searched Web of Science, EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, Cochrane Library, Highwire, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang database in May 2023 to identify studies involving intraoperative fluoroscopy versus no fluoroscopy during direct anterior total hip arthroplasty. Finally, we identified 1262 hips assessed in seven studies. RESULTS There were no significant differences in terms of acetabular cup inclination angle (ACIA, P = 0.21), ACIA within safe zone rate (P = 0.97), acetabular cup anteversion angle (ACAA, P = 0.26); ACAA within safe zone rate (P = 0.07), combined safe zone rate (P = 0.33), and limb-length discrepancy (LLD, P = 0.21) between two groups. CONCLUSION Even though intraoperative fluoroscopy was not related to an improvement in cup location or LDD. With fewer experienced surgeons, the benefit of intraoperative fluoroscopy might become more evident. More adequately powered and well-designed long-term follow-up studies were required to determine whether the application of the intraoperative fluoroscopy for direct anterior total hip arthroplasty will have clinical benefits and improve the survival of prostheses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative fluoroscopy (IFC) is gaining popularity in total hip arthroplasty (THA), with the aim to achieve better component positioning and therefore eventually reduced revision rates. This meta-analysis investigated the benefit of IFC by comparing it to intraoperative assessment alone. The primary outcome was component positioning and the secondary outcomes included complications and revision rates. METHODS PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for both randomized clinical trials (RCT) and observational studies. Effect estimates for radiographic cup position, offset/leg length difference and outliers from a safe zone were pooled across studies using random effects models and presented as a weighted odds ratio (OR) with a corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI). RESULTS A total of 10 observational studies involving 1,394 patients were included. No randomized trials were found. IFC showed no significant reduction in acetabular cup position (inclination and anteversion), offset, leg-length discrepancies, revision (none reported) or overall complication rates. CONCLUSION The current meta-analysis found no differences in cup positioning, offset, leg length discrepancy, the incidence of complications or revision surgery. It should be acknowledged that the included studies were generally performed by experienced surgeons. The benefit of intraoperative fluoroscopy might become more evident at an early phase of the learning curve for this procedure. Therefore, its role has yet to be defined.

Abstract
Background Accurate acetabular cup orientation is associated with decreased revision rates and improved outcomes of primary total hip arthroplasty. This study assesses surgeon's ability to estimate both the acetabular component inclination and anteversion angles via intraoperative fluoroscopy (IF) images. Methods We surveyed orthopedic surgeons to estimate acetabular component inclination and anteversion based on 20 IF images of total hip arthroplasty through a direct anterior approach. Postoperative computed-tomography scans were used to calculate the true inclination and anteversion component angles. The absolute difference between the true and estimated values was calculated to determine the mean and standard deviation of the survey results. Interrater reliability was determined through interclass correlation coefficients. Results A majority of surgeons preferred the direct anterior approach (83.3%) and utilized IF during surgery (70%). Surgeons surveyed were on average 5.9° away from the true value of inclination (standard deviation = 4.7) and 8.8° away from the true value of anteversion (standard deviation = 6.0). Respondents were within 5° of both inclination and anteversion in 19.7% of cases, and within 10° in 57.3% of cases. All surgeons were determined to have poor reliability in estimating anteversion (interclass correlation coefficient < 0.5). Only 2 surgeons were determined to have moderate reliability when estimating inclination. Conclusions Surgeons, when solely relying on IF for the estimation of anteversion and inclination, are unreliable. Utilization of other techniques in conjunction with IF would improve observer reliability.

Abstract
Background Parallax is poorly understood and can mislead surgeons using intraoperative fluoroscopy (IF) to guide cup placement during anterior approach (AA) total hip arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to examine how changes in fluoroscopic beam positioning in relation to the hip and pelvis affects the projected acetabular image. Methods An acetabular component was positioned in an anatomic pelvis model in 45° and 20° of abduction and anteversion, respectively using a computer assisted cup targeting system. Fluoroscopic images were taken at various caudal and cranially directed angles with the fluoroscopic beam centered over the hip then pelvis. In each position, four independent observers measured the abduction and anteversion angles of the projected cup image using the same computer targeting system. Results Cup abduction and anteversion measured 43.5° and 19.5° when IF was centered over the hip and 40.5 and 27.5° when centered over the pelvis in the neutral position. Increasing the caudal direction of the beam 20° increased the projected abduction/anteversion angles by approximately 7°/12° and 9°/16° when centered over the hip and pelvis respectively. Increasing the cranial direction of the beam 20° decreased the measured abduction/anteversion angles by roughly 4°/20° and 4°/24° when centered over the hip and pelvis, respectively. Conclusion The projected image of the acetabular component can change dramatically depending on fluoroscopic beam position relative to the hip and pelvis. Recognizing the approximate direction and magnitude of change with differing fluoroscopy positions may help surgeons avoid cup malpositioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Component positioning in total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be improved with utilization of intraoperative imaging. The purpose of this study is to determine if intraoperative imaging during THA is cost-effective. METHODS A break-even analysis was used as a model for cost-effectiveness, which incorporates cost of imaging (including direct charges and the additional time required for imaging), rate of revision surgery, and cost of revision surgery, yielding a final revision rate that needs to be achieved with use of intraoperative imaging in order for its use to be cost-effective. Absolute risk reduction (ARR) is determined by the difference between the initial revision rate and final revision rate. RESULTS At an anticipated institutional cost of $120 and requiring 4 additional minutes, intraoperative fluoroscopy would be cost-effective if the baseline rate of revision due to component mispositioning (0.62%) is reduced to 0.46%. Intraoperative flat plate radiographs ($127) are cost-effective at an ARR of 0.16%. Cost-effectiveness is achieved with lower ARR in the setting of lower imaging costs ($15, ARR 0.02%), and higher ARR with higher imaging costs ($225, ARR 0.29%). ARR for cost-effectiveness is independent of baseline revision rate, but varies with the cost of revision procedures. CONCLUSION At current revision rates for component malpositioning, only 1 revision among 400 THAs needs to be prevented for the utilization of fluoroscopy (or 1 in 385 THAs with flat plate imaging), to achieve cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
» Conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) largely remains an unguided procedure dependent on the ability and experience of the surgeon. New technologies, such as patient-specific instrumentation and robotics, have shown promising results in improving implant positioning, which has the potential to improve patient outcomes. » The use of off-the-shelf (OTS) implant designs, however, limits the success of the technological advances since they are unable to recreate the native anatomy of the joint. The inability to restore femoral offset and version or the presence of implant-related leg-length discrepancies often lead to suboptimal surgical results that increase the risk of dislocation, fractures, and component wear, compromising postoperative functional outcomes and implant longevity. » A customized THA system, whereby the femoral stem is designed to restore patient anatomy, has recently been introduced. The THA system uses computed tomography (CT)-derived 3D imaging to create a custom stem, patient-specific component placement, and patient-specific instrumentation that matches the patient's native anatomy. » The purpose of this article is to provide information on the design and manufacturing process of this new THA implant, to illustrate the associated preoperative planning, and to describe the surgical technique; 3 surgical cases are presented.

Abstract
AIMS The direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) has potential advantages over other approaches and is most commonly performed with the patient in the supine position. We describe a technique for DAA THA with the patient in the lateral decubitus position and report the early clinical and radiological outcomes, the characteristics of the learning curve, and perioperative complications. METHODS All primary DAA THAs performed in the lateral position by a single surgeon over a four-year period from the surgeon's first case using the technique were identified from a prospectively collected database. Modified Harris Hip Scores (mHHS) were collected to assess clinical outcome, and routine radiological analysis was performed. Retrospective review of the medical records identified perioperative complications, the characteristics of the learning curve, and revisions. RESULTS A total of 257 patients were included in the study. Their mean age was 60 years (SD 9.0). A total of 164 (64%) were female. The mean mHHS improved significantly from 52.1 (SD 16.2) preoperatively to 94.4 (SD 11) at a follow-up of one year (p < 0.001), with 212 of 225 patients (94%) achieving a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) (> 8 points). Radiological evaluation showed a mean leg length discrepancy of 2.6 mm (SD 5.9) and a mean difference in femoral offset of 0.2 mm (SD 4.9). A total of 234/243 acetabular components (96.3%) were positioned within Lewinnek's safe zone. Analysis of operating time, blood loss, the position of the components, and complications did not identify a learning curve. A total of 14 patients (5.4%) had a major perioperative complication and three (1.2%) required revision THA. There were no major neurovascular complications and no dislocations. CONCLUSION We have described and analyzed a surgical technique for undertaking DAA THA in the familiar lateral decubitus position using a routine operating table, positioning devices, and instrumentation, and shown that it can be performed safely and effectively under these circumstances.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-operative fluoroscopy has been shown to improve the accuracy of acetabular component positioning when compared to no fluoroscopy in direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA). Due to logistical reasons, our senior author has been performing DAA THA at one institution without the use of fluoroscopy and has created an intraoperative referencing technique to aid in acetabular component positioning. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of acetabular component positioning using fluoroscopy when compared to an intra-operative referencing technique without fluoroscopy. METHODS A total of 214 consecutive primary DAA THA were performed by one surgeon at two institutions and were retrospectively reviewed over a 3-year period. Intra-operative fluoroscopy was used with all patients at Institution A (N = 154). At institution B (N = 60), no fluoroscopy was used, and an intra-operative referencing technique was employed to assist in placement of the acetabular component. RESULTS In the fluoroscopy group, 91% of components met our abduction target, 90% met our anteversion target, and 82.5% simultaneously met both targets. In the non-fluoroscopy group, 98% of components met our abduction target, 92% met our anteversion target, and 90% simultaneously met both targets. There was no difference between groups for placement of the component within both targets simultaneously (p = .171). CONCLUSION Use of our intra-operative referencing technique is non-inferior in placing acetabular components within a pre-defined safe zone when compared to use of intraoperative fluoroscopy. The intra-operative reference technique can be a helpful adjunct for ensuring accurate acetabular component positioning while simultaneously reducing cost and limiting radiation exposure.
