Orthop Surg 2024. [PMID: 39344283 DOI: 10.1111/os.14251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2024] [Revised: 08/25/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 10/01/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The long-term effectiveness of total hip arthroplasty (THA) largely depends on the accuracy of acetabular prosthesis placement. To improve the accuracy of acetabular prosthesis placement, we utilized a new surgical navigation system: visual treatment solution (VTS). The purpose of this study was to verify the efficacy and safety of this system in assisting THA. METHODS This was a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. One hundred and twenty-four patients undergoing primary THAs were included. The experimental group underwent VTS-assisted THA, and the control group underwent traditional surgical techniques. The main efficacy evaluation indicators were the proportion of anteversion and inclination angles in the Lewinnek safe zone, and secondary evaluation indicators included operation time, Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) score, Harris score, short-form-36 (SF-36) score, and hip dislocation rate. Statistical analysis was performed mainly by t-test and chi-square test. RESULTS The proportion of both anteversion and inclination angles in the safe zone was 93.1% in the experimental group and 50.9% in the control group; the difference was significant (p < 0.01). The average operation time was 112.5 min in the experimental group and 92.6 min in the control group; the difference was significant (p < 0.01). There were no significant differences in WOMAC score, Harris score, or SF-36 score between the experimental and control groups at 3 months after the operation (p > 0.05). The dislocation rate was 0% in the experimental group and 1.6% in the control group; the difference was not significant (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION VTS-assisted THA can significantly improve the accuracy of acetabular prosthesis placement. However, there were no differences in short-term clinical outcomes or dislocation rates between the two groups.

Functional Acetabular Component Positioning During Direct Anterior Approach Hip Arthroplasty Using a Novel Three-Dimensional Virtual Mesh Imaging System With Fluoroscopy. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:S88-S96. [PMID: 38522804 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.03.042] [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: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal position of total hip arthroplasty (THA) components is critical for joint mechanics and stability. Acetabular component positioning during supine surgery in direct anterior approach (DAA) THA may be different in the standing position postoperatively, which traditional fluoroscopy is unable to predict. A novel 3-dimensional (3D) image analysis technology (IAT) that uses artificial intelligence to measure the tilt and rotation of the pelvis has enabled prediction of component positioning from supine to standing. The purpose of this study was to compare intraoperative fluoroscopy, non-3D-IAT, and 3D-IAT with postoperative standing radiographs to assess the accuracy of component positioning. METHODS From 2022 to 2023, 30 consecutive patients (86.6% women, mean age 59 [range, 55 to 67]) undergoing primary DAA THA with the use of the 3D-IAT were identified. A separate cohort of 148 patients from 2020 to 2021 (85% women, mean age 65 [range, 55 to 69]) who underwent DAA THA with non-3D-IAT was used for comparison. Leg length discrepancy (LLD), cup anteversion, and inclination were manually measured on intraoperative fluoroscopic images and digitally measured using IAT. Follow-up evaluation occurred at 1 month with standing pelvis radiographs measured using Ein Bild Röntgen Analyze-Cup software. Measurements were compared via Wilcoxon signed rank tests where P ≤ .05 indicates significantly different measurements. RESULTS Median LLD, inclination, and anteversion measurements via non-3D-IAT and fluoroscopy were significantly different compared to postoperative standing radiographs (P < .001). The 3D-IAT more accurately predicted LLD, abduction, and anteversion, with values not significantly different from postoperative standing measurements (P = .23, P = .93, and P = .36, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The use of the 3D-IAT during DAA THA allowed for the more accurate prediction of acetabular component position in the standing position postoperatively.

Abstract
Background Robotic systems have been designed to increase the accuracy of implant alignment in total knee and hip arthroplasty. This technology is associated with a learning curve for the operative time to reach peak efficiency in its use. Prior studies done on high-volume orthopedic surgeons have suggested a learning curve of 14-35 cases for robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA). It is unclear if this learning curve is different for surgeons with lower volumes. Methods Data was collected retrospectively from 299 THA procedures done by three different surgeons, with low (1-15 cases/year), medium (16-50), and high (51+) volume caseload. The learning curve was assessed primarily by average operative time from cases 1-20, 21-50, and 51+. Results The high-volume surgeon had a learning curve of 20 cases, while the low and medium volume surgeons had no significant decrease in their operative time through the cases included in the study (20 and 63, respectively). Conclusions High volume surgeons have a learning curve of about 20 cases, while low and medium volume surgeons have a longer curve, which was not able to be measured in this study.

A Comparison of Early Reoperations Between Direct Anterior and Postero-Lateral Approach. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:1765-1770. [PMID: 38301980 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.01.035] [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: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no consensus on whether direct anterior approach (DAA) or postero-lateral approach (PLA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) confers a lower risk of postoperative complications. Robotic assistance in THA results in a more consistently accurate component position compared to manual THA. The objective of this study was to compare rates of dislocation, reoperation, revision, and patient-reported outcome measures between patients undergoing DAA and PLA robotic-assisted primary THA. METHODS We identified 2,040 consecutive robotic-assisted primary THAs performed for primary osteoarthritis, using DAA (n = 497) or PLA (n = 1,542) between 2017 and 2020. The mean follow-up was 18 months. Kaplan-Meier analysis estimated survivorship free of dislocation, reoperation, and revision. Achievement of patient acceptable symptom state and minimum clinically important difference were used to compare changes in the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Joint Replacement (HOOS JR) and Visual Analog Scale. RESULTS Dislocation was rare in this series (14 in 2,040, 0.7%), including 1 of 497 (0.2%) in the DAA cohort and 13 of 1,542 (0.8%) in the PLA cohort (P = .210). There was no difference in 2-year reoperation-free survivorship (97.8 versus 98.6%, P = .59) or revision-free survivorship (98.8 versus 99.0%, P = .87) at any time point. After controlling for age, sex, and body mass index, there was no difference in dislocation, reoperation, or revision. At 6-week follow-up, after controlling for age, sex, and body mass index, patients in the DAA cohort had higher odds of achieving HOOS JR minimum clinically important difference (odds ratio = 2.01, P = .012) and HOOS JR patient acceptable symptom state (odds ratio = 1.72, P = .028). There were no differences in patient-reported outcome measures by 3 months. CONCLUSIONS For robotic-assisted primary THA, DAA may confer enhanced early (<6 weeks) functional recovery compared to the PLA, but there was no significant difference in postoperative dislocation, reoperation, or revision rates.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to establish an equation for calculating cup ante-inclination (AI) from radiographic cup inclination and anteversion, to validate this equation in a total hip arthroplasty (THA) cohort, and to test whether achieving previously described radiographic cup inclination and anteversion targets would also satisfy sagittal cup AI targets. Methods A mathematical equation linking cup AI, radiographic inclination (RI), and anteversion (RA) was determined: tan(AI) = tan(RA)/cos(RI). Supine and standing anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of 440 consecutive THAs were assessed to measure cup RI and RA and spinopelvic parameters, including cup AI, using a validated software tool. Whether orientation within previously defined RI and RA targets was associated with achieving the AI target and satisfying the sagittal component orientation (combined sagittal index, 205° to 245°) was tested. Results The cups in the THA cohort had a measured mean inclination (and standard deviation) of 43° ± 7°, anteversion of 26° ± 9°, and AI of 34° ± 10°. The calculated cup AI was 34° ± 12°. A strong correlation existed between measured and calculated AI (r = 0.75; p < 0.001), with a mean error of 0° ± 8°. The inclination and anteversion targets were both satisfied in 194 (44.1%) to 330 (75.0%) of the cases, depending on the safe zone targets that were used, and 311 cases (70.7%) satisfied the AI target. Only 125 (28.4%) to 233 (53.0%) of the cases satisfied the AI target as well as the inclination and anteversion targets. Satisfying inclination and anteversion targets was not associated with increased chances of satisfying the AI target. Conclusions Achieving optimal cup inclination and anteversion does not ensure optimal orientation in the sagittal plane. The equation and nomograms provided can be used to determine and visualize how the 2 planes used for evaluating the cup orientation and the pertinent angles relate, potentially aiding in preoperative planning.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The optimal positioning of the hip prosthesis components is influenced by the mobility and balance of the spine. The present study classifies patients with pathology of the spino-pelvic-hip complex, showing possible methods of preventing hip dislocations after arthroplasty. HYPOTHESIS Hip-Spine Classification helps arthroplasty surgeons to implant components in more patient-specific position. MATERIALS AND METHODS The group of 100 patients treated with total hip arthroplasty. Antero-posterior (AP) X-rays of the pelvis in a standing position, lateral spine (standing and sitting) and AP of the pelvis (supine after the procedure) were analyzed. We analyzed a change in sacral tilt value when changing from standing to sitting (∆SS), Pelvic Incidence (PI), Lumbar Lordosis (LL) Mismatch, sagittal lumbar pelvic balance (standing position). Patients were classified according to the Hip-Spine Classification. Postoperatively, the inclination and anteversion of the implanted acetabular component were measured. RESULTS In our study 1 A was diagnosed in 61% of all cases, 1B in 18%, 2 A in 16%, 2B in 5%. 50 out of 61 (82%) in group 1 A were placed within the Levinnek "safe zone". In 1B, 2 A, 2B, the position of the acetabular component was influenced by both the spinopelvic mobility and sagittal spinal balance. The mean inclination was 43.35° and the anteversion was 17.4°. CONCLUSIONS Categorizing patients according to Hip-Spine Classification one can identify possible consequences the patients at risk. Pathology of the spino-pelvic-hipcomplex can lead to destabilization or dislocation of hip after surgery even though implanted according to Lewinnek's indications. Our findings suggest that Lewinnek safe zone should be abandoned in favor of the concept of functional safe zones.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE Hip dislocation remains a significant complication following total hip arthroplasty, even though its incidence has decreased. While closed reduction is typically performed for early dislocations, delayed or chronic dislocations often necessitate acetabular or femoral component revision. CASE PRESENTATION This document describes the treatment of hip dislocation in a 56-year-old patient through pelvic osteotomy without component revision. An acetabular component malposition was identified, exhibiting an 80-degree inclination and 20-degree cup anteversion. Owing to limited bone stock, a modified Stoppa approach was used for pelvic osteotomy to reduce acetabular inclination. The patient displayed remarkable clinical improvement, achieving a Harris Hip Score of 85 at the two-year check-up with no signs of dislocation. CLINICAL DISCUSSION Recurrent hip dislocation is difficult to manage. It frequently necessitates component revision, presenting a challenge due to issues with cup extraction and limited bone stock. Preoperative detection of loosened components is crucial. If it goes undetected, the extraction process can result in bone loss, potentially leading to pelvic insufficiency. CONCLUSION Successful revisions of hip arthroplasties can be achieved with geometric modifications to the pelvis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of a new complete robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (RA-THA) with that of the manual total hip arthroplasty (MTHA) and to verify the accuracy and safety of the former. METHODS Overall, 148 patients were enroled from 3 March 2021 to 28 December 2021 in this study and classified into RA-THA ( n =74 patients) and MTHA ( n =74 patients) groups. The sex, age, operative side, BMI, diagnosis, other basic information, operative time, acetabular prosthesis anteversion and inclination, femoral prosthesis anteversion and angulation, femoral prosthesis filling rate, leg length discrepancy (LLD), Harris hip score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score of the two groups were compared. RESULTS No significant differences were observed in the two groups regarding sex, age, operative side, BMI, diagnosis, Harris hip score, VAS score, acetabular inclination, acetabular prosthesis anteversion, femoral prosthesis anteversion, combined anteversion, and femoral prosthesis filling rate ( P >0.05). The operative time was significantly longer in the RA-THA group than in the MTHA group (106.71±25.22 min vs. 79.42±16.16 min; t=7.30, P <0.05). The femoral angulation (1.78°±0.64°) and LLD (2.87±1.55 mm) in the RA-THA group were significantly lesser than those in the MTHA group (2.22°±1.11° and 5.81±6.27 mm, respectively; t=-2.95 and t=-3.88, P <0.05). CONCLUSION The complete RA-THA has some advantages over the traditional procedure in restoring the lower limb length and controlling the femoral prosthesis angulation. Thus, this study verifies the accuracy and safety of the robot-assisted system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pelvic tilt (PT) is a routinely evaluated parameter in hip and spine surgeries, and is usually measured on a sagittal pelvic radiograph. This may not always be feasible due to limitations such as landmark visibility, pelvic anomaly, and hardware presence. Tremendous efforts have been dedicated to using pelvic antero-posterior (AP) radiographs for assessing sagittal PT. Thus, this systematic review aimed to collect these methods and evaluate their performances. METHODS Two independent reviewers searched the PubMed, Ovid, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases in June 2023 with backward reference trailing (Google Scholar archive). There were 30 studies recruited. Risk of bias was assessed using the prediction model risk of bias assessment tool. The relevant data were tabulated in a standardized form for evaluating either the absolute PT or relative PT. Disagreement was resolved by discussing with the senior author. RESULTS There were 19 parameters from pelvic AP projection images involved, with 4 studies which used artificial intelligence, eyeball, or statistical shape method not involving a specific parameter. In comparing the PT values from pelvic sagittal images with those extrapolated from antero-posterior projection images, the highest correlation coefficient was found to be 0.91. The mean absolute difference (error) was 2.6°, with a maximum error reaching 10.9°. Most studies supported the feasibility of using AP parameters to calculate changes in PT. CONCLUSIONS No individual AP parameter was found to precisely estimate absolute PT. However, relative PT can be derived by evaluating serial AP radiographs of a patient in varying postures, employing any AP parameters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic assistance in total hip arthroplasty (RA-THA) has been shown to minimize laterality-based differences in acetabular cup positioning. OBJECTIVE To determine if the use of a novel, fluoroscopy-based RA-THA system mitigates differences in acetabular cup placement between left (L) and right (R) side hip procedures, when compared to manual, fluoroscopic-assisted technique. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 106 consecutive mTHA (40 L/66 R) and 102 RA-THA (48 L/54 R) primary direct anterior approach procedures. All cases were performed by a single right-hand-dominant surgeon, for a pre-operative diagnosis of osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, or rheumatoid arthritis. Outcomes included acetabular cup inclination and anteversion, and the proportion of cups within the Lewinnek safe-zone. RESULTS The average inclination of mTHA L cases was smaller than that of mTHA R cases (41.10∘± 7.38 vs. 43.97∘± 6.27; p= 0.04). For RA-THA, L and R cup angles were similar. There were fewer overall mTHA hips within the Lewinnek safe-zone compared to RA-THA (0.59 vs. 0.78; p= 0.003), as well as fewer mTHA R cases than RA-THA R cases (0.59 vs. 0.80; p= 0.03) within safe zone. CONCLUSION Use of a novel, fluoroscopy-based robotic system mitigates laterality-based differences in acetabular cup placement that were observed in a manual, fluoroscopic-assisted cohort.

Combined Anteversion Threshold to Avoid Anterior Dislocation in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty Performed Through the Direct Anterior Approach. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:145-150. [PMID: 37331442 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.06.026] [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: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Component malposition in total hip arthroplasty (THA) can lead to dislocation, early implant failure, and revision surgery. As the surgical approach might affect the targeted combined anteversion (CA) of THA components, the present study aimed to evaluate the optimal CA threshold to avoid anterior dislocation in primary THA performed through a direct anterior approach (DAA). METHODS A total of 1,176 THAs in 1,147 consecutive patients (men: 593, women: 554) who had an average age of 63 years (range, 24 to 91) and a mean body mass index of 29 (range, 15 to 48) were identified. Medical records were reviewed for dislocation, whereas postoperative radiographs were assessed to measure the acetabular inclination and CA using a previously validated radiographic method. RESULTS An anterior dislocation occurred in 19 patients at an average of 40 days postoperatively. The average CA in patients who did and did not have a dislocation was 66 ± 8° and 45 ± 11°, respectively (P < .001). In 5 of 19 of the patients, a THA was performed for secondary osteoarthritis and 17 of 19 had a 28-mm femoral head. A CA ≥ 60° yielded a sensitivity of 93% and specificity of 90% for predicting an anterior dislocation in the present cohort. A CA ≥ 60° was associated with a significantly higher risk of anterior dislocation (odds ratio = 75.6; P < .001) compared to patients who had a CA<60 points. CONCLUSION The optimal CA to avoid anterior dislocations in THA performed through the DAA should be less than 60°. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Cross-sectional study, Level III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether multiplayer immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) training was superior to single-player training for the acquisition of both technical and nontechnical skills in learning complex surgery. BACKGROUND Superior teamwork in the operating room (OR) is associated with improved technical performance and clinical outcomes. iVR can successfully train OR staff individually; however, iVR team training has yet to be investigated. METHODS Forty participants were randomized to individual or team iVR training. Individually trained participants practiced alongside virtual avatar counterparts, whereas teams trained live in pairs. Both groups underwent 5 iVR training sessions over 6 weeks. Subsequently, they completed a real-life assessment in which they performed anterior approach total hip arthroplasty surgery on a high-fidelity model with real equipment in a simulated OR. Teams performed together, and individually trained participants were randomly paired up. Videos were marked by 2 blinded assessors recording the 'Non-Operative Technical Skills for Surgeons, Oxford NOn-TECHnical Skills II and Scrub Practitioners' List of Intraoperative Non-Technical Skills' scores. Secondary outcomes were procedure duration and the number of technical errors. RESULTS Teams outperformed individually trained participants for nontechnical skills in the real-world assessment (Non-Operative Technical Skills for Surgeons: 13.1±1.5 vs 10.6±1.6, P = 0.002, Non-TECHnical Skills II score: 51.7 ± 5.5 vs 42.3 ± 5.6, P = 0.001 and Scrub Practitioners' List of Intraoperative Non-Technical Skills: 10 ± 1.2 vs 7.9 ± 1.6, P = 0.004). They completed the assessment 33% faster (28.2 minutes ± 5.5 vs 41.8 ± 8.9, P < 0.001), and made fewer than half the number of technical errors (10.4 ± 6.1 vs 22.6 ± 5.4, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Multiplayer training leads to faster surgery with fewer technical errors and the development of superior nontechnical skills.

Abstract
There is great difficulty in quickly calculating the impingement-free range of motion (IFROM) of hip components with complex shapes after total hip arthroplasty. We have established a new algorithm to investigate the effect of different shapes of hip components on the IFROM and impingement-free safe zone (IFSZ). Then find the best combination of hip prosthesis and the optimal mounting position of the elevated-rim liner under different radiographic anteversion (RA) and radiographic inclination (RI) of the cup. We found the larger the opening angle of the beveled-rim liner and the smaller the cross-sectional area of the stem neck with an inverted teardrop cross-sectional shape, the greater the IFROM of the hip component. The beveled-rim liner in combination with the stem neck with an inverted teardrop-shaped cross-section could provide the greatest IFSZ (excluding the flat-rim liner). The optimal orientation of the elevated-rim liner was the posterior-inferior side (RI ≤ 37°), posterior-superior side (RI ≥ 45°), and posterior side (37° ≤ RI ≤ 45°). Our novel algorithm provides a solution to analyze the IFROM of any hip prosthesis with any complex shape. The shape and size of the cross-section of the stem neck, the orientation of the elevated rim, and the shape and opening angle of the liner are all critical factors for the quantitative calculation of the IFROM and mounting safe zone of the prosthesis. Stem necks with inverted teardrop cross-section and beveled-rim liner improved the IFSZ. The optimal direction of the elevated rim is not constant but varies with RI and RA.

[PMID: 37662496 PMCID: PMC10474137 DOI: 10.1016/j.artd.2023.101197] [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: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Acetabular retention in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be advantageous, yet long-term survival data is limited. Thus, we investigated long-term survivorship of retained acetabular components in revision THA with analysis of rerevision rate, instability risk, and clinical outcomes. Methods We reviewed 98 hips with polyethylene wear and/or osteolysis that were revised with retained acetabular components. Acetabular inclination and anteversion were measured from prerevision radiographs. A retrospective chart review was performed, collecting outcomes of interest including Harris hip score, instability events, and rerevision surgery. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate the risk of revision over time. Predictors of survival including acetabular component position were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. Results Average follow-up was 13 years (range, 5-24). Survivorship rates at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years were 89.7%, 81.6%, 70.8%, and 63.8%, respectively. There was improvement in average Harris hip score (61 to 76, P < .0001). There was a 9% rate of dislocation, and 6 hips (6%) were rerevised for recurrent instability. Overall, there were 23 (23%) rerevisions at an average of 6.1 years with the most common reasons being instability (6%) and aseptic loosening (6%). Use of conventional polyethylene was the only identified independent predictor of rerevision (P = .025). Conclusions Retention of a well-fixed acetabular component in revision THA provides acceptable long-term outcomes with a 15-year survivorship of 71%. Instability and aseptic loosening were the most common reasons for rerevision. Surgeons may consider retaining the acetabular component at revision surgery if the implant is well-fixed and well-positioned.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the precision and feasibility of patient-specific instruments (PSI) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) as compared to the traditional free-hand (FRH) approach. METHODS During the period of January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022, a randomized allocation was used for patients receiving unilateral primary THA to either the PSI or conventional operation group. The placement and size of the PSI were specifically chosen to guide femoral neck resection and prosthesis implantation. The study analyzed component positions and evaluated radiographic and clinical outcomes in 30 patients who received PSI-assisted THAs and 30 patients who received FRH THAs. This study was registered at China Clinical Trial Registry (number: ChiCTR2300072325) on June 9th, 2023. RESULTS The use of PSI in THA resulted in significantly higher precision in achieving the desired component position as compared to the FRH approach. The PSI group showed significantly smaller absolute errors of femoral anteversion (p < 0.001). No significant differences were found in operation time, intra-operative blood loss, hospitalization duration, or time to walk after surgery. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the application of patient-specific instruments in THA provides a simple and reliable solution to enhance the precision of femoral prosthesis placement with high accuracy and feasibility. This study highlights the potential benefits of using the PSI in THA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accurate measurement of combined component anteversion (CA) is important in evaluating the radiographic outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of a novel radiographic method in estimating CA in THA. MATERIALS AND METHODS The radiographs and computer tomography of patients who underwent a primary THA were retrospectively reviewed, to measure the radiographic CA (CAr), defined as the angle between a line connecting the center of the femoral head to the most anterior rim of the acetabular cup and a line connecting the center of the femoral head to the base of the femoral head to allow a comparison with the CA measured on the CT (CACT). Subsequently, a computational simulation was performed to evaluate the effect of cup anteversion, inclination, stem anteversion, and leg rotation on the CAr and develop a formula that would correct the CAr according to the acetabular cup inclination based on the best-fit equation. RESULTS In the retrospective analysis of 154 THA, the average CAr_cor, and CACT were 53 ± 11° and 54 ± 11° (p > 0.05), respectively. A strong correlation was found between CAr and CACT (r = 0.96, p < 0.001), with an average bias of - 0.5° between CAr_cor and CACT. In the computational simulation, the CAr was strongly affected by the cup anteversion, inclination, stem anteversion, and leg rotation. The formula to convert the CAr to CA_cor was: CA-cor = 1.3*Car - (17* In (Cup Inclination) - 31. CONCLUSION The combined anteversion measurement of THA components on the lateral hip radiograph is accurate and reliable, implying that it could be routinely used postoperatively but also in patients with persistent complaints following a THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anteroposterior (AP) pelvic radiographs are subject to errors that may cause measurement inaccuracy in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Such errors may be detected by measuring pre- to postoperative leg-length changes in the nonoperative leg, which experiences no physical changes during THA. METHODS From AP pelvic radiographs, we measured pre- to postoperative leg-length changes (LLC) in the nonoperative legs of 67 patients who underwent primary THA using the trans-ischial line method. RESULTS An LLC of 0 mm was observed in the nonoperative leg in only 14 cases (21%). A LLC ⩾ 2 mm was observed in 27% (18/67) of cases, including 13% (9/67) with LLC ⩾ 3 mm and 6% (4/67) with LLC ⩾ 4 mm. A post-hoc analysis used a validated method to measure change in pelvic tilt between pre- and postoperative images and found that changes in pelvic tilt ⩾ 4° in the anterior and posterior directions created apparent lengthening (2.0 ± 1.4 mm, p < 0.001 vs. 0-3° of tilt) and shortening (-2.1 ± 1.6 mm, p < 0.001 vs. 0-3° of tilt) of the nonoperative leg, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The current study provides evidence of measurement errors in leg length using AP pelvic radiographs following THA. Changes in pelvic tilt may be in part responsible for these errors, with the direction of change in pelvic tilt influencing the apparent lengthening or shortening of the lower limb. Ultimately, these findings may influence the radiographic measurement and interpretation of leg-length changes following THA.

Abstract
Background Many of the current total hip arthroplasty (THA) planning tools only consider sagittal pelvic tilt in the standing and relaxed sitting positions. Considering that the risk of postoperative dislocation is higher when bending forward or in sit-to-stand move, sagittal pelvic tilt in the flexed seated position may be more relevant for preoperative planning. We hypothesized that there was a significant difference in sagittal pelvic tilt between the relaxed sitting and flexed seated positions as measured by the sacral slope in preoperative and postoperative full-body radiographs. Methods This was a multicenter retrospective analysis of the preoperative and postoperative simultaneous biplanar full-body radiographs of 93 primary THA patients in standing, relaxed sitting, and flexed seated positions. The sagittal pelvic tilt was measured using the sacral slope relative to the horizontal line. Results The mean difference between the preoperative sacral slope in the relaxed sitting position and the flexed seated position was 11.3° (-13° to 43°) (P < .0001). This difference was >10° in 52 patients (56%) and >20° in 18 patients (19.4%). The mean difference between the postoperative sacral slope in a relaxed sitting position and the sacral slope in a flexed seated position was 11.3° (P < .0001). This difference was >10° in 51 patients (54.9%) and >30° in 14 patients (15.1%) postoperatively. Conclusions There was a significant difference in sagittal pelvic tilt between the relaxed and flexed seated positions. A flexed seated view provides valuable information that might be more relevant for preoperative THA planning in order to prevent postoperative THA instability.

Early Clinical and Radiographic Results from a Retrospective Comparative Study. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:769. [PMID: 37109727 PMCID: PMC10145216 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59040769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
Background and objectives: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in obese patients (BMI > 30) is considered technically demanding, and it is associated with higher rates of general and specific complications including infections, component malpositioning, dislocation, and periprosthetic fractures. Classically, the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) has been considered less suitable for performing THA surgery in the obese patient, but recent evidence produced by high-volume DAA THA surgeons suggests that DAA is suitable and effective in obese patients. At the authors' institution, DAA is currently the preferred approach for primary and revision THA surgery, accounting for over 90% of hip surgeries without specific patient selection. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to evaluate any difference in early clinical outcomes, perioperative complications, and implant positioning after primary THAs performed via DAA in patients who were divided according to BMI. Material and methods: This study is a retrospective review of 293 THA implants in 277 patients that were performed via DAA from 1 January 2016 to 20 May 2020. Patients were further divided according to BMI: 96 patients were normal weight (NW), 115 were overweight (OW), and 82 were obese (OB). All the procedures were performed by three expert surgeons. The mean follow-up was 6 months. Patients' data, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, surgical time, days in rehab unit, pain at the second post-operative day recorded by using a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and number of blood transfusions were recorded from clinical charts and compared. Radiological evaluation of cup inclination and stem alignment was conducted on post-operative radiographs; intra- and post-operative complications at latest follow-up were recorded. Results: The average age at surgery of OB patients was significantly lower compared to NW and OW patients. The ASA score was significantly higher in OB patients compared to NW patients. Surgical time was slightly but significantly higher in OB patients (85 ± 21 min) compared to NW (79 ± 20 min, p = 0.05) and OW patients (79 ± 20 min, p = 0.029). Rehab unit discharge occurred significantly later for OB patients, averaging 8 ± 2 days compared to NW patients (7 ± 2 days, p = 0.012) and OW patients (7 ± 2 days; p = 0.032). No differences in the rate of early infections, number of blood transfusions, NRS pain at the second post-operative day, and day of post-operative stair climbing were found among the three groups. Acetabular cup inclination and stem alignment were similar among the three groups. The perioperative complication rate was 2.3%; that is, perioperative complication occurred in 7 out of 293 patients, with a significantly higher incidence of surgical revisions required in obese patients compared to the others. In fact, OB patients showed a higher revision rate (4.87%) compared to other groups, with 1.04% for NW and 0% for OW (p = 0.028, Chi-square test). Causes for revision in obese patients were aseptic loosening (2), dislocation (1), and clinically significant post-operative leg length discrepancy (1), with a revision rate of 4/82 (4.87%) during follow-up. Conclusions: THA performed via DAA in obese patients could be a solid choice of treatment, given the relatively low rate of complications and the satisfying clinical outcomes. However, surgical expertise on DAA and adequate instrumentation for this approach are required to optimise the outcomes.

Intraoperative imaging in hip arthroplasty: a meta-analysis and systematic review of randomized controlled trials and observational studies. ARTHROPLASTY 2023; 5:20. [PMID: 37024967 PMCID: PMC10080809 DOI: 10.1186/s42836-023-00173-8] [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: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
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 Existing state-of-the-art "safe zone" prediction methods are statistics-based methods, image-matching techniques, and machine learning methods. Yet, those methods bring a tension between accuracy and interpretability. PURPOSE To explore the model explanations and estimator consensus for "safe zone" prediction. MATERIAL AND METHODS We collected the pelvic datasets from Orthopaedic Hospital, and a novel acetabular cup detection method is proposed for automatic ROI segmentation. Hybrid priors comprising both specific priors from data and general priors from experts are constructed. Specifically, specific priors are constructed based on the fine-tuned ResNet-101 convolutional neural networks (CNN) model, and general priors are constructed based on expert knowledge. Our method considers the model explanations and dynamic consensus through appending a SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) module and a dynamic estimator stacking. RESULTS The proposed method achieves an accuracy of 99.40% and an area under the curve of 0.9998. Experimental results show that our model achieves superior results to the state-of-the-art conventional ensemble classifiers and deep CNN models. CONCLUSION This new screening model provides a new option for the "safe zone" prediction of acetabular cup.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isolated head and liner exchange is an appealing alternative to a more extensive revision total hip arthroplasty in patients who have well-fixed components. Despite efforts to increase femoral offset and restore soft tissue tensioning, limited component revision may be associated with higher rates of postoperative instability. METHODS This retrospective analysis assessed 209 patients who had a head and liner exchange conducted at a large academic medical center between 2011 and 2019 and had >2 years of follow-up. Functional cup positioning within the Lewinnek safe zone was assessed on postoperative weight-bearing radiographs. Included patients were 56% women, had a mean age of 64 years (range, 24-89) and a mean body mass index of 28.8 kg/m2 (range, 18.2-46.7). The most common indications for surgery included acetabular liner wear in 86 hips (41%), instability in 40 hips (19%), and infection in 36 hips (17%). RESULTS Twenty-eight hips (13%) had a dislocation within 2 years after surgery. The best-fit model predicting postoperative dislocation included a history of dislocation (adjusted-odds ratio [adj-OR] 5.67, 95% CI 2.39-14.09, P < .001), age (adj-OR 1.04 per 1-year increase, 95% CI 0.99-1.08, P = .10), and body mass index (adj-OR 0.90 per 1-kg/m2 increase, 95% CI 0.80-0.99, P = .046). CONCLUSION In a large cohort of patients who had isolated head and liner exchange, patients who had prior instability had 7-fold elevated odds of postoperative dislocation. This risk remains significant after controlling for cup positioning outside the Lewinnek safe zone, liner type, head size, neck length, soft tissue compromise, neuromuscular disease, and dual mobility constructs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, retrospective cohort study.

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.

Abstract
Ideal component positioning is critical to outcomes in total hip arthroplasty. We describe our early results using digital radiographs with a combined ante-version technique. We report the incidence of component adjustments made based on digital radiographs and show how this technology can be used during patient positioning to achieve appropriate starting pelvic alignment. We reviewed 176 cases of primary total hip arthroplasty performed by a single arthroplasty surgeon using a posterior approach. Mean follow-up was 1 year (range, 3 months to 2.7 years). Digital radiographs (Surgeon's Checklist Hip; Radlink) and a combined anteversion technique were used for component positioning. For a subset of 100 patients, we recorded the incidence of pelvic mal-positioning found on digital radiographs obtained during initial positioning of the patient. For this same subset we also detail the component changes made as a result of intraoperative radiographs during trialing. Among 176 cases we have had 2 (1.1%) postoperative dislocations. Both underwent closed reduction with no further dislocation. We have had no revisions and 1 intraoperative calcar fracture. For our 100-case subset, digital radiographs during patient positioning identified pelvic malpositioning greater than 5° (coronal or axial plane) among 17% of cases. During trialing, we made component adjustments 71% of the time because of findings on intraoperative imaging. Digital radiography can be a valuable tool for component positioning during total hip arthroplasty. We experienced favorable early outcomes and show the utility of digital radiographs for proper pelvic positioning and making intraoperative adjustments to achieve optimal component placement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While previously considered unsuitable for revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA), the direct anterior approach (DAA) can be extended to allow for safe acetabular component revision. In primary hip arthroplasty, the DAA and its associated fluoroscopy, has been shown to produce more acceptable component positioning. However, there is little data comparing the DAA to the posterior approach (PA) for rTHA. We hypothesised that, the DAA with intraoperative fluoroscopy would allow for more precise acetabular component positioning when compared to those performed using a PA. METHODS 50 consecutive patients (25 DAA and 25 PA) undergoing rTHA were included. Radiographic analysis of postoperative acetabular component position was then performed. Univariate and multivariate analyses was performed to assess the contribution of approach on cup positioning inside classically defined "safe zones". RESULTS Baseline patient characteristics were similar. The PA was associated with more cups placed outside the Lewinnek (48% vs. 12%, p = 0.005) and the Danoff (52% vs. 28%, p = 0.083) "safe zones" when compared to the DAA. Multivariate analysis revealed that operative approach was the only patient or surgical factor associated with component position outside of the "safe zones" (Lewinnek [OR = 13.6; 95% CI, 2.12-87.9, p = 0.006] and Danoff [OR = 7.7; 95% CI, 1.48-40.1, p = 0.015]). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the DAA allows for more reproducible and precise cup placement in RTHA. The safe-zone paradigm remains a useful index of accurate cup positioning and the DAA, with use of intraoperative fluoroscopy, offers more consistent acetabular component positioning when compared to the PA.

Abstract
Spinopelvic characteristics influence the hip's biomechanical behavior. However, there is currently little knowledge regarding what "normal" characteristics are. This study aimed to determine how static and dynamic spinopelvic characteristics change with age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) among well-functioning volunteers. Methods This was a cross-sectional cohort study of 112 asymptomatic volunteers (age, 47.4 ± 17.7 years; 50.0% female; BMI, 27.3 ± 4.9 kg/m2). All participants underwent lateral spinopelvic radiography in the standing and deep-seated positions to determine maximum hip and lumbar flexion. Lumbar flexion (change in lumbar lordosis, ∆LL), hip flexion (change in pelvic-femoral angle, ∆PFA), and pelvic movement (change in pelvic tilt, ΔPT) were determined. The hip user index, which quantifies the relative contribution of the hip to overall sagittal movement, was calculated as (∆PFA/[∆PFA + ∆LL]) × 100%. Results There were decreases of 4.5° (9%) per decade of age in lumbar flexion (rho, -0.576; p < 0.001) and 3.6° (4%) per decade in hip flexion (rho, -0.365; p < 0.001). ∆LL could be predicted by younger age, low standing PFA, and high standing LL. Standing spinopelvic characteristics were similar between sexes. There was a trend toward men having less hip flexion (90.3° ± 16.4° versus 96.4° ± 18.1°; p = 0.065) and a lower hip user index (62.9% ± 8.2% versus 66.7% ± 8.3%; p = 0.015). BMI weakly correlated with ∆LL (rho, -0.307; p = 0.011) and ∆PFA (rho, -0.253; p = 0.039). Conclusions Spinopelvic characteristics were found to be age, sex, and BMI-dependent. The changes in the lumbar spine during aging (loss of lumbar lordosis and flexion) were greater than the changes in the hip, and as a result, the hip's relative contribution to overall sagittal movement increased. Men had a greater change in posterior pelvic tilt when moving from a standing to a deep-seated position in comparison with women, secondary to less hip flexion. The influence of BMI on spinopelvic parameters was low.

A Study from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2022; 480:1091-1101. [PMID: 34978538 PMCID: PMC9263451 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dislocation is one of the most common causes of a re-revision after a revision THA. Dual-mobility constructs and large femoral head bearings (≥ 36 mm) are known options for mitigating this risk. However, it is unknown which of these choices is better for reducing the risk of dislocation and all-cause re-revision surgery. It is also unknown whether there is a difference between dual-mobility constructs and large femoral head bearings according to the size of the acetabular component. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We used data from a large national registry to ask: In patients undergoing revision THA for aseptic causes after a primary THA performed for osteoarthritis, (1) Does the proportion of re-revision surgery for prosthesis dislocation differ between revision THAs performed with dual-mobility constructs and those performed with large femoral head bearings? (2) Does the proportion of re-revision surgery for all aseptic causes differ between revision THAs performed with dual-mobility constructs and those performed with large femoral head bearings? (3) Is there a difference when the results are stratified by acetabular component size? METHODS Data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) were analyzed for 1295 first-revision THAs for aseptic causes after a primary THA performed for osteoarthritis. The study period was from January 2008-when the first dual-mobility prosthesis was recorded-to December 2019. There were 502 dual-mobility constructs and 793 large femoral head bearings. There was a larger percentage of women in the dual-mobility construct group (67% [334 of 502]) compared with the large femoral head bearing group (51% [402 of 793]), but this was adjusted for in the statistical analysis. Patient ages were similar for the dual-mobility construct group (67 ± 11 years) and the large femoral head group (65 ± 12 years). American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class and BMI distributions were similar. The mean follow-up was shorter for dual-mobility constructs at 2 ± 1.8 years compared with 4 ± 2.9 years for large femoral head bearings. The cumulative percent revision (CPR) was determined for a diagnosis of prosthesis dislocation as well as for all aseptic causes (excluding infection). Procedures using metal-on-metal bearings were excluded. The time to the re-revision was described using Kaplan-Meier estimates of survivorship, with right censoring for death or database closure at the time of analysis. The unadjusted CPR was estimated each year of the first 5 years for dual-mobility constructs and for each of the first 9 years for large femoral head bearings, with 95% confidence intervals using unadjusted pointwise Greenwood estimates. The apparent shorter follow-up of the dual-mobility construct group relates to the more recent increase in dual-mobility numbers recorded in the registry. The results were adjusted for age, gender, and femoral fixation. Results were subanalyzed for acetabular component sizes < 58 mm and ≥ 58 mm, set a priori on the basis of biomechanical and other registry data. RESULTS There was no difference in the proportion of re-revision for prosthesis dislocation between dual-mobility constructs and large femoral head bearings (hazard ratio 1.22 [95% CI 0.70 to 2.12]; p = 0.49). At 5 years, the CPR of the re-revision for prosthesis dislocation was 4.0% for dual mobility constructs (95% CI 2.3% to 6.8%) and 4.1% for large femoral head bearings (95% CI 2.7% to 6.1%). There was no difference in the proportion of all aseptic-cause second revisions between dual-mobility constructs and large femoral head bearings (HR 1.02 [95% CI 0.76 to 1.37]; p = 0.89). At 5 years, the CPR of dual-mobility constructs was 17.6% for all aseptic-cause second revision (95% CI 12.6% to 24.3%) and 17.8% for large femoral head bearings (95% CI 14.9% to 21.2%). When stratified by acetabular component sizes less than 58 mm and at least 58 mm, there was no difference in the re-revision CPR for dislocation or for all aseptic causes between dual-mobility constructs and large femoral head bearings. CONCLUSION Either dual-mobility constructs or large femoral head bearings can be used in revision THA, regardless of acetabular component size, as they did not differ in terms of re-revision rates for dislocation and all aseptic causes in this registry study. Longer term follow-up is required to assess whether complications develop with either implant or whether a difference in revision rates becomes apparent. Ongoing follow-up and comparison in a registry format would seem the best way to compare long-term complications and revision rates. Future studies should also compare surgeon factors and whether they influence decision-making between prosthesis options and second revision rates. Nested randomized controlled trials in national registries would seem a viable option for future research. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Acetabular component orientation and position are important factors in the short- and long-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty. Different definitions of inclination and anteversion are used in the orthopaedic literature and surgeons should be aware of these differences and understand their relationships. There is no universal safe zone. Preoperative planning should be used to determine the optimum position and orientation of the cup and assess spinopelvic characteristics to adjust cup orientation accordingly. A peripheral reaming technique leads to a more accurate restoration of the centre of rotation with less variability compared with a standard reaming technique. Several intraoperative landmarks can be used to control the version of the cup, the most commonly used and studied is the transverse acetabular ligament. The use of an inclinometer reduces the variability associated with the use of freehand or mechanical alignment guides.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of hip osteoarthritis is associated with abnormal spinopelvic characteristics. This study aimed to determine whether the preoperative, pathological spinopelvic characteristics normalize at 1 year after total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS This was a prospective, longitudinal, case-control, matched cohort study. Forty-seven patients undergoing THA underwent preoperative and 1-year postoperative assessments. This group was matched with regard to age, sex, and body mass index with 47 controls (volunteers) with well-functioning hips. All participants underwent clinical and radiographic assessments including lateral radiographs in standing, relaxed-seated, and deep-flexed-seated positions. Spinopelvic characteristics included change in lumbar lordosis (ΔLL), change in pelvic tilt (ΔPT), and hip flexion (change in pelvic-femoral angle, ΔPFA) when moving from a standing position to either of the seated positions. Spinopelvic hypermobility was defined as ΔPT > 30° between the standing and upright-seated positions. RESULTS Patients who underwent THA, compared with the control group, preoperatively demonstrated less mean change in hip flexion (ΔPFA, -54.8° ± 17.1° compared with -68.5° ± 9.5°; p < 0.001), greater mean change in pelvic tilt (ΔPT, 22.0° ± 13.5° compared with 12.7° ± 8.1°; p < 0.001), and greater mean lumbar movement (ΔLL, -22.7° ± 15.5° compared with -15.4° ± 10.9°; p = 0.015) transitioning from a standing position to an upright-seated position. After THA, these differences were no longer present between the THA group and the control group: the mean postoperative changes were -65.8° ± 12.5° (p = 0.256) for ΔPFA, 14.3° ± 9.5° (p = 0.429) for ΔPT, and -15.3° ± 10.6° (p = 0.966) for ΔLL. The higher prevalence of spinopelvic hypermobility in the THA group compared with the control group that was observed preoperatively (21% compared with 0%; p = 0.009) was no longer present after THA (6% compared with 0%; p = 0.194). Similar results were found moving from a standing position to a deep-seated position after THA. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative spinopelvic characteristics that contribute to abnormal mechanics can normalize after THA following improvement in hip flexion. This leads to patients having the expected hip, pelvic, and spinal flexion as demographically matched controls, thus potentially eliminating abnormal mechanics that contribute to the development or exacerbation of hip-spine syndrome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In total hip arthroplasty (THA), improper cup orientation can result in dislocation, early excessive polyethylene wear, and pain following THA. The supine position during THA provides a more reproducible functional pelvic position than the lateral decubitus position and may allow freehand cup placement as reliable as that obtained by computer navigation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of freehand cup placement through a supine direct anterior approach (DAA) compared with computed tomography (CT)-based navigation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The same surgeon performed primary cementless THA through the DAA in 144 supine patients. Seventy-two patients underwent freehand cup placement with standard mechanical guidance-oriented radiographic target cup positioning, and 72 underwent placement with CT-based navigation guidance. Using three-dimensional templating software, the study group calculated cup inclination and anteversion on postoperative CT scans. RESULTS The navigation method resulted in a significantly smaller deviation of inclination from the target (p < 0.05); the difference in anteversion was not significant. In addition, the navigation method resulted in significantly fewer cups placed ± 10° outside the target position (0% for inclination, 0% for anteversion) than did the freehand procedure (26% for inclination, 25% for anteversion) (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Freehand cup placement is less reliable even in the supine position. Use of a CT-based navigation system can significantly improve cup positioning in THA through the DAA by reducing the incidence of outliers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty is a frequent cause of revision surgery. This study was performed to determine the optimal implant alignment in total hip arthroplasty by simulating the postoperative range of motion. METHODS All operations were performed via posterolateral approach using combined anteversion of the stem and cup technique. Maximum range of motion without implant impingement was simulated in 79 replaced hips using postoperative computed tomography and the achievement of the required range of motion defined by previous studies was assessed. Optimal cup and stem alignment for impingement-free range of motion were statistically determined using the receiver operator coefficient curve. FINDINGS Cup inclination and anteversion, stem anteversion, and combined anteversion were 37.6°, 20.1°, 26.2°, and 46.3°, respectively. Maximum range of motion in flexion, extension, internal rotation at 90° of flexion, and external rotation were 131.8°, 42.3°, 56.4°, and 64.5°, respectively. Flexion >110°, extension >30°, internal rotation >30° at 90° of flexion, and external rotation >30° were fulfilled by 96%, 86%, 92%, and 96% of all replaced hips, respectively. Optimal implant alignment for impingement-free range of motion was 34°-43° of cup inclination, 18°-26° of cup anteversion, 17°-29° of stem anteversion, and 35°-56° of combined anteversion. Both cup and stem anteversion showed significant relationship with postoperative range of motion. INTERPRETATION Surgeons could gain valuable insights into optimal cup and stem alignment to perform postoperative range of motion simulations.

Risk factors of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2022; 46:749-759.

Abstract
PURPOSE Dislocation following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well-known complication. However, there is little data on its rate and predictors in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The current study is aimed to determine the rate and specific risk factors of dislocation following THA in DDH patients. METHODS All the medico-surgical records of primary THAs from January 2014 to January 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. They were categorized into three main groups: primary OA, DDH, and others. Pre-operative and post-operative radiographs, past medical and surgical history, and surgical notes were reviewed in DDH cases. RESULTS In a total of 171 patients with DDH, 21 suffered from dislocation after THA (12%) which was significantly more frequent than those with primary OA. In univariate analysis, higher grade of dysplasia, smaller head size, intra-operative fracture, Wagner Cone stem, failure of offset restoration, and implanting the cup outside the Lewinnek's safe zone were identified as predictors of dislocation. In multiple regression analysis, however, only higher Crowe grade, intra-operative fracture, and post-operative acetabular offset less than 16 mm were independent predictors of dislocation. CONCLUSION Dysplastic hips can be more prone to post-THA dislocation than those with primary OA. Higher grades of dysplasia, failure of offset restoration, and intra-operative fracture can increase the rate of dislocation in this group of patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Suboptimal acetabular component position can result in impingement, dislocation, and accelerated wear. Intraoperative pelvic motion has led to surgeon error and acetabular cup malposition. This study characterises the relationship between pelvic rotation and postoperative acetabular cup orientation. METHODS A device was constructed to allow cadaveric pelvis rotation along three axes about an acetabular cup in fixed orientation. The acetabular cup was fixed in space at 40° of radiographic inclination and 15° of anteversion relative to the anterior pelvic plane to represent consistent surgeon intraoperative placement. Active marker clusters were fixed to surgical equipment while the cadaveric pelvis was cemented with passive reflective markers, both identified with the Optotrak Certus motion capture system. The reamed cadaveric pelvis was rotated along three axes from -45° to 45° of roll, -30° to 30° of tilt, and -35° to 35° of pitch. The change in component inclination and anteversion was recorded at each 5° interval. Using computed tomography 3D reconstruction, the experimental setup was duplicated computationally to assess against a greater range of pelvis and implant sizes. RESULTS Radiographic anteversion and inclination showed a non-linear relationship dependent on pelvic roll, tilt, and pitch. Radiographic anteversion changed -0.59°, 0.76° and 0.01° while radiographic inclination changed 0.23°, 0.18° and 1.00° for every 1° of pelvic roll, tilt and pitch, respectively. Computationally, anteversion changed -0.61°, 0.75° and 0.00° while inclination changed 0.22°, 0.19° and 1.00° for every 1° of pelvic roll, tilt and pitch, respectively. These results were independent of cup and pelvis size. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative pelvic motion can significantly affect final cup position, and this should be accounted for when placing acetabular components during total hip arthroplasty. Based on this study, intraoperative adjustment of the acetabular component position based on pelvis motion may be implemented to improve postoperative component position.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of computer navigation has been shown to produce more accurate cup positioning when compared with non-navigated total hip arthroplasty (THA), but so far there is only limited evidence to show its effect on clinical outcomes. The present study analyzed data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry to assess the impact of computer navigation on the rates of all-cause revision and revision for dislocation following THA. METHODS Data for all non-navigated and navigated primary THAs performed for osteoarthritis in Australia from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2019, were examined to assess the rate of revision. We analyzed the effects of navigation on rate, reason, and type of revision. Hazard ratios (HRs) from Cox proportional hazard models, adjusted for age, sex, and head size, were utilized. Because of known prosthesis-specific differences in outcomes, we performed a further analysis of the 5 acetabular and femoral component combinations most commonly used with navigation. RESULTS Computer navigation was utilized in 6,912 primary THAs for osteoarthritis, with the use of navigation increasing from 1.9% in 2009 to 4.4% of all primary THAs performed in 2019. There was no difference in the rate of all-cause revision between navigated and non-navigated THAs looking at the entire group. There was a lower rate of revision for dislocation in the navigation THA cohort. The cumulative percent revision for dislocation at 10 years was 0.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.2% to 0.6%) for navigated compared with 0.8% (95% CI, 0.8% to 0.9%) for non-navigated THAs (HR adjusted for age, sex, and head size, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.29 to 0.74; p = 0.002). In the 5 component combinations most commonly used with navigation, the rate of all-cause revision was significantly lower when these components were navigated compared with non-navigated. The cumulative percent revision at 10 years for these 5 prostheses combined was 2.4% (95% CI, 1.6% to 3.4%) for navigated compared with 4.2% (95% CI, 4.0% to 4.5%) for non-navigated THAs (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.48 to 0.86; p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that the use of computer navigation was associated with a reduced rate of revision for dislocation following THA. Furthermore, in the component combinations most commonly used with navigation there was also a reduction in the rate of all-cause revision. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
➤ The proper diagnosis and treatment of patients with concurrent hip and spine pathological processes can be challenging because of the substantial overlap in symptomatology. ➤ There is no consensus on which pathological condition should be addressed first. ➤ Factors such as advanced spinal degeneration, deformity, and prior fusion alter the biomechanics of the spinopelvic unit. Attention should be paid to recognizing these issues during the work-up for a total hip arthroplasty as they can result in an increased risk of dislocation. ➤ In patients with concurrent spine and hip degeneration, the surgeon must pay close attention to appropriate implant positioning and have consideration for implants with enhanced stability to minimize the risk of dislocation. ➤ A proper understanding of sagittal balance and restoration of this balance is integral to improving patient outcomes following spinal surgery. ➤ The advent of new imaging modalities, increased awareness of spinopelvic mobility, as well as a better understanding of sagittal alignment will hopefully improve our treatment of patients with hip-spine syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imageless computer navigation improves component placement accuracy in total hip arthroplasty (THA), but variations in the registration process are known to impact final accuracy measurements. We sought to evaluate the registration accuracy of an imageless navigation device during THA performed in the lateral decubitus position. METHODS A prospective, observational study of 94 patients undergoing a primary THA with imageless navigation assistance was conducted. Patient position was registered using 4 planes of reference: the patient's coronal plane (standard method), the long axis of the surgical table (longitudinal plane), the lumbosacral spine (lumbosacral plane), and the plane intersecting the greater trochanter and glenoid fossa (hip-shoulder plane). Navigation measurements of cup position for each plane were compared to measurements from postoperative radiographs. RESULTS Mean inclination from radiographs (41.5° ± 5.6°) did not differ significantly from inclination using the coronal plane (40.9° ± 3.9°, P = .39), the hip-shoulder plane (42.4° ± 4.7°, P = .26), or the longitudinal plane (41.2° ± 4.3°, P = .66). Inclination measured using the lumbosacral plane (45.8° ± 4.3°) differed significantly from radiographic measurements (P < .0001). Anteversion measured from radiographs (mean: 26.1° ± 5.4°) did not differ significantly from the hip-shoulder plane (26.6° ± 5.2°, P = .50). All other planes differed significantly from radiographs: coronal (22.6° ± 6.8°, P = .001), lumbosacral (32.5° ± 6.4°, P < .0001), and longitudinal (23.7° ± 5.2°, P < .0001). CONCLUSION Patient registration using any plane approximating the long axis of the body provided a frame of reference that accurately measured intraoperative cup position. Registration using a plane approximating the hip-shoulder axis, however, provided the most accurate and consistent measurement of acetabular component position.

Abstract
Purpose Accurate component placement and restoration of patient anatomy are critical in total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery. Although intraoperative radiographs are sometimes utilized, it is unclear whether this practice can improve accuracy. Materials and Methods This study evaluated acetabular cup abduction, anteversion, leg length, and offset among 100 posterior approach THAs performed without imaging (No X-ray group) and compared them to a subsequent series of 100 THAs where an intraoperative radiograph was taken with the trial components in place (X-ray group). THAs were performed using a posterior approach by a single, experienced surgeon whose goal was to place the cup at 45° of abduction and 30° of anteversion. Supine anteroposterior pelvic digital radiographs taken at the first (nominal 4-week) postoperative visit were used for measurements. Results Slight differences in cup abduction (47°±6° vs 44°±6°, respectively, P=0.003) and anteversion angle (35°±6° vs 31°±6°, respectively, P<0.001) were observed between the X-ray and No X-ray groups; however, a similar proportion of cups within 10° of the target angles was observed (76% vs 83%, respectively, P=0.22). No difference in offset measurements (1.1±6.6 mm vs 0.3±6.9 mm, respectively, P=0.42) or leg lengths (0.3±3.8 mm vs 0.3±4.8 mm, respectively, P=0.94) was observed between the X-ray and No X-ray groups; however, the X-ray group showed less leg length variation (P=0.05). Conclusion In this study, the routine use of intraoperative radiographs was not associated with improved implant positioning for uncomplicated primary THA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The angle of acetabular (cup) radiographic inclination is an important measurement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures. Abnormal radiographic inclination is associated with dislocation, edge loading and higher failure rates. Consistently achieving a satisfactory radiographic inclination remains a challenge. Inclinometers have been increasingly used over the last decade. This paper reviews the literature to determine whether using an inclinometer improves the accuracy of acetabular cup inclination in THA. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed. The following search terms were used: ('hip' OR 'hip replacement' OR 'hip arthroplasty' OR 'primary hip replacement' OR 'THR' OR 'THA' OR 'Acetabular cup Inclination') AND ('Inclinometer'). Titles and abstracts were screened for relevance. Both radiographic and operative inclination comparisons were included. RESULTS 7 studies met the inclusion criteria. 2 were randomised control trials with level I evidence, and the remaining studies were cohort studies with level III/IV evidence. 5 were clinical and 2 experimental. In total there were 16 cohorts: 7 using an inclinometer, 6 freehand, and 3 using MAG techniques. All studies comparing radiographic inclination and 1 of 2 studies comparing operative inclination showed an improvement in the attainment of the optimal inclination. Similarly, the use of an inclinometer showed a reduction in the number of outliers when compared to MAG and freehand techniques. DISCUSSION This review demonstrates that using an inclinometer improved the surgeon's ability to achieve their intended inclination (both operative and radiographic) and reduced the incidence of positioning outside the safe-zone. However, only 2 of the studies were randomised control trials and these resulted in opposing conclusions. Therefore, further studies looking at the use of inclinometers would prove useful in understanding their true benefit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Instability remains the most common complication after revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) and presents a unique treatment dilemma for the orthopedic surgeon. Dual mobility (DM) bearing articulations have been used in France since the 1970s, but have only become more widely adopted in the United States over the last decade. The purpose of this symposium was to discuss the role for DM bearings in revision THA. METHODS We reviewed the existing literature on outcomes after DM bearing articulations in revision THA. We also report several case examples of the use of DM in difficult revision THA cases, including acetabular bone loss, failed constrained liner, and adverse local tissue reaction. Finally, we briefly discuss the limitations associated with the use of DM. RESULTS Several large retrospective series demonstrate that DM bearings reduce the incidence of dislocation after revision THA when compared with conventional single bearing THA. Specific complications related to DM bearings including polyethylene wear, loosening, intraprosthetic dislocation, and corrosion remain a concern, but appear to have drastically improved over time with modern implant designs. CONCLUSION Contemporary DM designs have been established as an effective bearing option to reduce instability in revision THA, although concerns do exist. High-quality prospective studies are necessary to further define the role this bearing option has in the coming years.

How Does Spinopelvic Mobility and Sagittal Functional Cup Orientation Affect Patient-Reported Outcome 1 Year after THA?-A Prospective Diagnostic Cohort Study. J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:2335-2342. [PMID: 33637383 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.02.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This prospective cohort study aimed to characterize how spinopelvic characteristics change post-total hip arthroplasty (THA) and determine how patient-reported outcome measures are associated with 1) individual spinopelvic mobility and 2) functional sagittal cup orientation post-THA. METHODS One hundred consecutive patients who received unilateral THAs for end-stage hip osteoarthritis, without spinal pathology were studied. Preoperatively and postoperatively, patients underwent clinical and radiographic evaluations. Patient-reported outcomes were collected using the hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score - physical function shortform (HOOS-PS). Radiographic parameters measured from standing and relaxed-seated radiographs, included the lumbar lordosis angle, pelvic tilt, pelvic femoral angle and cup orientation in the coronal (inclination/anteversion) and sagittal (anteinclination) planes. Spinopelvic mobility was characterized (ΔPT: "stiff" [<10°], "normal" [10°-30°], and "hypermobile" [>30°]). RESULTS Preoperative spinopelvic characteristics were not associated with HOOS-PS. Post-THA, the spinopelvic characteristics changed, with less patients having spinopelvic hypermobility (7%) compared with preop (14%). Postoperatively, patients with spinopelvic hypermobility showed significantly worse HOOS-PS scores (21 ± 17 vs 21 ± 22 vs 41 ± 23; ANOVA P = .037). Sagittal but not coronal cup orientation was associated with postoperative spinopelvic characteristics. Cup anteinclination was less in the patients with postoperative spinopelvic hypermobility (27 ± 7° vs 36 ± 8° vs 36 ± 10°; ANOVA: P = .035). CONCLUSION We hypothesize that spinopelvic hypermobility is secondary to impingement and reduced hip flexion; to achieve a seated position, impinging hips require more posterior pelvic tilt. Patients with spinopelvic hypermobility are likely impinging secondary to the low cup anteinclination (sagittal malorientation despite optimum coronal orientation) and thus have lower HOOS-PS compared. Sagittal assessments are thus important to adequately study hip mechanics. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, diagnostic study.

Abstract
Background
Preoperative planning and postoperative evaluation of component position in total hip arthroplasty (THA) utilize specialized software that must be able to provide measurements that are both accurate and precise. A new software program for use in THA has recently been developed. We sought to evaluate the accuracy of this new software in comparison with two current, widely used software programs. Methodology
Postoperative anteroposterior (AP) pelvic radiographs from 135 THA patients were retrospectively reviewed. Reference values for acetabular anteversion, inclination, and leg length were established using validated software programs (TraumaCad® as the primary reference value [PRV] and OsiriX LiteTM as the secondary reference value [SRV]). Measurements from the new software program (Intellijoint VIEWTM) were compared with reference values using Student’s t-test and chi-square test. Results For anteversion, mean values for the PRV (27.34° ± 7.27°) and the new software (27.29° ± 7.21°) were not significantly different (p = 0.49). The new software differed from the PRV by a mean of 0.05° ± 0.93°. Similar results were noted for inclination, where the new software differed from the PRV and SRV by -0.13° ± 0.65° and 0.25° ± 1.26°, respectively (mean values: PRV: 43.62° ± 6.02°; SRV: 43.99° ± 6.27°; new software: 43.74° ± 6.17°; p = 0.87), and for leg length, where the new software differed from the PRV and SRV by 0.05 mm ± 0.46 mm and 0.22 mm ± 0.52 mm, respectively (mean values: PRV: 10.61 mm ± 11.60 mm; SRV: 10.77 mm ± 11.70 mm; new software: 10.56 mm ± 11.61 mm; p = 0.98). Measurements were highly correlated across multiple reviewers (intraclass correlation coefficient ≥0.987). Conclusions The new software measurement tool is accurate and precise for assessing the acetabular component position and leg length measurements following THA in AP pelvic radiographs compared to currently used image measurement software.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The acetabular "safe zone" has recently been questioned as a reliable reference for predicting total hip arthroplasty impingement and instability as many dislocations occur within the described parameters. Recently, an improved understanding of spino-pelvic mechanics has provided surgeons useful information to both identify those at a higher risk of dislocation and, in some cases, allows altering component positioning to accommodate the patient's individual "functional" range of motion. The purpose of this study was to create a new patient-specific impingement-free zone by considering range of motion (ROM) to prosthetic impingement for both high flexion and extension poses, thus demarcating a zone that avoids both anterior and posterior impingement, thereby creating an objective approach to identifying a patient's ideal functional safe zone. MATERIALS AND METHODS A validated hip ROM three-dimensional simulator was utilized to create ROM-to-impingement curves for both high flexion as well as pivot and turn poses. The user imported a computerized tomography (CT) with a supine pelvic tilt (PT) value of zero and implant models (tapered wedge stem, 132° neck angle, 15° stem version, 36mm femoral head). Femur-to-pelvis relative motions were determined for three upright seated poses (femur flexed at 90° and 40° internal rotation, with 0°, 10°, and 20° posterior PT), one chair rise pose (femur flexed at 90° and 0° internal rotation, with the pelvis flexed anteriorly until the pelvis made contact with the femur), and three standing pivot and turn poses (femur set at 5° extension, and 35° external rotation, with 5° posterior PT, 0°, and 5° anterior PT). ROM-to-impingement curves for cup inclination versus anteversion were graphed and compared against the Lewinnek safe zone. RESULTS The ROM-to-impingement curves provide an objective assessment of potential impingement sites as they relate to femoral rotation and pelvic tilt. The area between the stand and sit curves is the impingement-free area. A sitting erect pose with a simulated stiff spine (0° PT) yielded less impingement-free combinations of cup inclination and version than poses with greater than 0° posterior pelvic tilt. CONCLUSION The results demonstrate that the acetabular target zone has a relatively small margin for error between the sitting and standing ROM curves to impingement. Importantly, anterior and posterior pelvic tilt can markedly increase the risk of impingement, potentially leading to posterior or anterior dislocations, respectively. This study highlights the importance of correctly identifying the patient-specific functional range of motion to execute optimal component positioning.

J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:1799-1803. [PMID: 33303328 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.11.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2020] [Revised: 11/02/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Distortion is an intrinsic phenomenon associated with image-intensified fluoroscopy that is both poorly understood and infrequently appreciated by orthopedic surgeons. Little information exists regarding its potential influence on intraoperative parameters during orthopedic surgery, let alone during direct anterior (DA) total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to quantify the amount of potential error caused by fluoroscopic distortion during DA THA. METHODS Intra-operative fluoroscopic pelvic images from 74 DA THAs were reviewed by two independent readers. All images were obtained using the same fluoroscopic C-arm unit with a radiopaque grid attached to the image intensifier. The vertical distortion from a straight central horizontal line at the peripheries of images were measured and summed to yield the combined vertical distortion similar to how a surgeon calculates a side to side comparison of limb lengths. Simple linear regression was used to evaluate associations between total distortion and patient demographics, operating theaters, and various operative parameters. RESULTS The average combined distortion was 10.0mm (range 2.0-20.0mm). There was a significant difference in the average distortion observed in different theaters (P < .001). There was no association between distortion and patient demographics or fluoroscopic time (all, P > .05). CONCLUSION Fluoroscopic distortion is unpredictable and can cause a substantial amount of error when comparing limb lengths during DA THA. This is a critical finding as this amount of inaccuracy could lead to unintended implant positioning and limb-length discrepancies if unaccounted for.

Supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPath) versus mini-incision posterolateral total hip arthroplasty for hip osteoarthritis: a prospective randomized controlled trial. ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2021; 9:392.

Abstract
Background Supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPath) arthroplasty has been proposed to be minimally invasive and tissue sparing, with possible superior postoperative outcomes compared with conventional approaches for total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, previous studies have underlined the shortcomings of conventional THA approaches, including higher dislocation, more blood loss, longer incisions, more tissue damage, and delayed postoperative rehabilitation. In the present study, we compared the short-term outcomes of unilateral THA with those of SuperPath and the mini-incision posterolateral approach (PLA) for hip osteoarthritis (OA). Methods Patients with unilateral hip OA were prospectively recruited and underwent either SuperPath (SuperPath group) or mini-incision PLA THA (PLA group). Perioperative status [operative time, incision length, intraoperative blood loss, soft tissue damage, and length of hospital stay (LOS)], and postoperative function outcomes, including range of motion (ROM), pain visual analog scale (VAS), and Harris Hip Score (HHS), were evaluated and compared between the groups at scheduled time points within 12 months postoperatively. Results Compared with the PLA group, the SuperPath group yielded a significantly shorter incision length (7.83 vs. 12.45 cm, P<0.001), longer operative time (102.72 vs. 66.22 min, P<0.001), more blood loss (1,007.38 vs. 844.55 mL, P=0.005), and more soft tissue damage (creatine kinase: 1,056.05 vs. 821.50 U/L, P=0.006) on postoperative day 3. The SuperPath group also showed deficient acetabular cup positioning (abduction angle: 36.94° vs. 42.66°, P=0.004) and a greater decrease in ROM (flexion: 107.66° vs. 114.44°, P=0.004; 109.83° vs. 116.11°, P=0.002; 111.66° vs. 118.88°, P<0.001) on postoperative days 1, 3, and 14, as well as severe early-term pain symptoms (pain VAS on postoperative day 3: 7.05 vs. 6.55, P=0.041). However, the LOS, C-reactive protein levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (within 2 weeks postoperatively), and HHS were comparable between the groups during the 12 months postoperatively. Conclusions SuperPath may be a promising, minimally invasive technique for the treatment of OA in the future. Further investigation is necessary to evidence the possible superiority of SuperPath over other conventional mini-incision THA approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study is prospectively conducted to evaluate surgical complications of monolithic dual mobility cup total hip arthroplasty (THA) in elderly patients with fractured neck of the femur. METHODS Ninety-seven patients (97 hips) with displaced femoral neck fracture who gave informed consent for participation were prospectively enrolled. Their mean age was 76.6 years (range, 60-95 years), and the mean bone mineral density T-score of neck of the femur was -2.8 (range, -1.2 to -5.5). All patients underwent THA with monolithic dual mobility cup, and computed tomography scans were obtained to evaluate radiographic parameters including anteversion, inclination, and loosening of acetabular cups, and periprosthetic acetabular fractures. RESULTS With regard to cup orientation, mean inclination angle was 40.2° (range, 23.5°-63°) and mean anteversion was 32.6° (range, 7°-66.2°). The proportion of surgical outliers was 10.3% (10/97) in inclination and 35.1% (34/97) in anteversion. Early cup loosening within 2 weeks was detected in 2 hips. Periprosthetic acetabular fractures were identified in 6 hips (6/97, 6.2%). Of the 6 fractures, 5 nondisplaced fractures were healed with conservative management, but 1 fracture with displacement eventually led to cup loosening and the patient underwent revision surgery. Reoperation rate of the monolithic dual mobility cup was 4.1% (4/97). CONCLUSION The use of the monolithic dual mobility was associated with improper cup fixation and periprosthetic acetabular fractures in the elderly with poor bone stock, although the dual mobility cup lowered the risk of early dislocation after THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal acetabular component orientation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a necessity in achieving a stable implant. Although there has been considerable debate in the literature concerning the safe zone, to date, there has not been any review to determine if these references are consistent with the definition applied by Lewinnek et al. in 1978. Therefore, this article aims to examine the available literature in the PubMed database to determine how often a correct reference to the safe zone as defined by Lewinnek was applied to discussions regarding THA. METHODS A search for literature in the PubMed database was performed for articles from 1978 to 2019. Search criteria included terms 'Lewinnek,' 'safe zone,' and 'total hip arthroplasty.' Exclusions included abstract-only articles, non-English articles, articles unrelated to THA, and those lacking full content. RESULTS A review of literature yielded 147 articles for inclusion. Overall, only 11% (17) cited the Lewinnek article correctly. Forty-five percent (66) of articles referenced measurements in the supine position, 18% (26) referenced other positions, and 37% (55) did not specify. Nineteen percent (28) reported measurements of the acetabular cup orthogonal to the anterior pelvic plane, while 73% (108) did not, and 7% (11) did not specify. Twenty-three percent (34) measured from computed tomography scans instead of other methods. CONCLUSIONS In the discussion of the safe zone regarding THA, only 11% of articles listed are consistent with the definition established by Lewinnek. This warrants further investigation into a consistent application of the term and its implications for THA implant stability and dislocation rates.

Abstract
Purpose Bipolar hemiarthroplasty has been shown to have a lower rate of dislocation than total hip arthroplasty. However, as the influencing risk factors for bipolar hemiarthroplasty dislocation remain unclear, we aimed to analyse patient and surgeon-specific influencing risk factors for bipolar hemiarthroplasty dislocation. Methods We retrospectively analysed patients who were operated between 2012 and 2018 and had dislocated bipolar hemiarthroplasty and matched them to patients without a dislocated bipolar hemiarthroplasty, operated between 2018 and 2019. The study was limited to patients who received either a pre- or postoperative pelvic computed tomography. Besides demographic, morphologic, and physiologic data, we analysed duration of surgery; ASA score; Charlson Comorbidity Index; Almelo Hip Fracture Score; Parker Score; and acetabular morphology angles including acetabular anteversion angle, posterior acetabular sector angle, posterior wall angle, and acetabular roofing. Results We included nine patients with a dislocated bipolar hemiarthroplasty and 30 with a non-dislocated bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Patient-specific factors prompting a higher risk for dislocated bipolar hemiarthroplasty were longer duration of surgery (min) (115 ± 50 vs. 80 ± 27, p = 0.01); dementia (56% vs. 13%, p < 0.01); smaller posterior acetabular sector angle (°) (96 ± 6 vs. 109 ± 10, p < 0.01); and smaller posterior wall angle (°) (67 ± 6 vs. 77 ± 10, p = 0.02). Conclusion Dementia and insufficient posterior wall angle were associated with higher risk of dislocation in bipolar hemiarthroplasty

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
The movements between the spine, pelvis and hip joints are coordinated to allow for a physiological balance of the upper body and the pelvis during sitting and standing. Degenerative changes or spondylodesis of the spine result in decreased pelvic mobility and can lead to increased rates of instability in the presence of total hip arthroplasty (THA). To reduce the risk of THA dislocation several authors have recently recommended functional radiographs of the spine and pelvis, as well as individual safe zones for THA components. The aim of this article is to summarize the current body of knowledge regarding the influence of spinopelvic alignment on THA and provide recommendations for everyday clinical practice.
