[PMID: 39048457 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2024.103944] [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: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The position of the pelvis in the sagittal plane can vary considerably between different functional positions. Adapting the position of the acetabular cup in relation to the alignment between the spine and the hip of each individual, prior to prosthesis placement, can prevent the risk of prosthetic impingement. Taken individually, risk factors for unfavorable spinopelvic kinematics can be difficult to interpret when trying to precisely predict which patients are at risk. Furthermore, the use of classifications or algorithms can be complex, most often associated with limited values and often difficult to apply in current practices of risk assessment. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that the deconstruction of the data matrix including age and spinopelvic parameters (SPT, LL, PI, LF and PI-LL) correlated with the analysis of spinopelvic kinematics could be used to define an individualized hip-spine relationship. MATERIAL AND METHOD We applied archetypal analysis, which is a probabilistic, data-driven and unsupervised approach, to a complete phenotype cohort of 330 patients before total hip arthroplasty to define the spinopelvic profile of each individual using the spinopelvic parameters without threshold value. For each archetype, we analyzed the spinopelvic kinematics, not implemented in the creation of the archetypes. RESULTS An unsupervised learning method revealed seven archetypes with distinct spinopelvic kinematic profiles ranging from -8.9 ° to 13.15 ° (p = 0.0001) from standing to sitting and -5. 35 ° to -10.81 ° (p = 0.0001) from supine to standing. Archetype 1 represents the "ideal" patient (A1); young patients without spinopelvic anomaly and the least at risk of mobility anomaly. Followed by 3 archetypes without sagittal imbalance according to their lumbar lordosis and pelvic incidence, from the highest to the lowest (archetypes 2-4), archetype 4 exposing a greater risk of spinopelvic kinematic anomaly compared to others. Then 2 archetypes with sagittal imbalance: archetype 5, with an immobile pelvis in the horizontal plane from standing to sitting position in anterior tilt and archetype A6, with significant posterior pelvic tilt standing, likely compensating for the imbalance and associated with the greatest anomaly of spinopelvic kinematics. Finally, archetype 7 with the stiffest lumbar spine without sagittal imbalance and significant unfavorable kinematics from standing to sitting. CONCLUSION An archetypal approach to patients before hip replacement can refine diagnostic and prognostic features associated with the hip-spine relationship and reduced heterogeneity, thereby improving spinopelvic characterization. This risk stratification of spinopelvic kinematic abnormalities could make it possible to target patients who require adapted positioning or types of implants before prosthetic surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV retrospective study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Various computer-assisted surgical systems claim to improve the accuracy of cup placement in total hip arthroplasties after assessing spinopelvic mobility to prevent prosthetic impingement. However, no study has yet analyzed the extent of the patient-specific cup anteversion safe zones. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that most patients have a safe zone >10 °, except those with abnormal spinopelvic mobility, who have a much narrower safe zone. MATERIALS AND METHODS We simulated the risks of prosthetic impingement using the planned cup anteversion. The consecutive cohort included 341 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty. Our primary endpoint was the patient-specific impingement-free zone for cup anteversion, which was then divided into four subgroups: 0 °, 1 ° to 5 °, 6 ° to 10 °, and >10 °. This data was then secondarily analyzed for abnormal spinopelvic mobility (the difference in the spinopelvic tilt [ΔSPT] from a standing to a flexed seated position >20 °). RESULTS The mean anteversion safe zone was 22.8 ° with 82.4% (281/341) of patients with a zone strictly >10 °. The mean safe zone was 8.9 ° (+/- 9 °) in patients with an ΔSPT ≥20 ° (18.2%), with 37.1% of these patients having a zone of 0 °, 16.13% a zone between 1 ° and 5 °, 8.06% a zone between 6 ° and 10 ° and 38.71% a zone >10 °. The mean safe zone was 25.9 ° (+/- 9 °) in patients with an ΔSPT <20 ° (81.8%), and the proportion of cases in each zone was 2.51%, 1.08%, 4.3%, and 92.11%, respectively (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The safe zone for anteversion appears to be fairly wide in most patients. However, identifying patients at risk of abnormal spinopelvic mobility seems necessary to identify the two-thirds of patients with a narrow safe zone. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; retrospective study.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate functional outcomes, radiologic results, and complications after hybrid total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with subchondral insufficiency fractures (SIFs) of the femoral head. Methods From June 2009 to December 2020, among 985 patients who underwent hybrid THA at our hospital, 19 patients diagnosed with SIF through a retrospective chart review were included. Those under 50 years of age, with radiographic findings of osteonecrosis on the contralateral side of surgery, a history of organ transplantation, and alcohol abuse, were excluded. Functional evaluation was performed using a modified Harris Hip Score (HHS). After surgery, inclination and anteversion of the acetabular cup and version of the femoral system were measured using postoperative x-ray. The outpatient follow-up was performed at 6 weeks, 3 months, 9 months, and 12 months after surgery and every year thereafter. Complications including dislocation, implant loosening, stem subsidence, and periprosthetic infection were observed on follow-up radiographs. Results The average follow-up time was 29.3 ± 9.1 months (range, 24-64 months) with no loss to follow-up. The mean modified HHS was 83.4 ± 9.6 (range, 65-100) at the last outpatient clinic follow-up. The average inclination of the acetabular cup was 41.9° ± 3.4° (range, 37°-48°), and the anteversion was 27.5° ± 6.7° (range, 18°-39°). The version of the femoral stem was 19° ± 5.7° (range, 12°-29°). There was no case of intraoperative fracture. There were no cases of dislocation, loosening of the cup, subsidence of the femoral stem, intraoperative or periprosthetic fracture, or periprosthetic infection on the follow-up radiographs. Conclusions In our study, hybrid THA showed favorable outcomes in patients diagnosed with SIF, and there were no further special considerations as for THA performed due to other diseases or fractures.

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
Lumbar stiffness leads to greater hip dependence to achieve sagittal motion and increases instability after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We aimed to determine parameters that influence lumbar stiffness among patients with hip pathology. We hypothesized that modifiable (degenerative changes, spinal canal stenosis, facet orientation) and nonmodifiable factors (muscle condition) would be associated with lumbar spine stiffness. In this retrospective case-cohort study from a tertiary referral center, consecutive patients presenting at a hip specialist clinic underwent standing and deep-seated radiographic assessment to measure lumbar lordosis (∆LL) (stiffness: ∆LL < 20°), hip flexion (∆PFA: pelvic femoral angle), and degree of degenerative-disc-disease (DDD) (facet osteoarthritis, disc height, endplate proliferative changes). Of these, 65 patients were selected with previous lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging, allowing to determine lumbar facet orientation, spinal canal stenosis (Schizas classification), and flexor- and extensor-muscle atrophy (Goutallier classification). Mean ∆LL was 45° (range: 11°-72°) and four patients (6%) exhibited spine stiffness. Patients with multilevel DDD (n = 22) had less ∆LL than those with no/single level (n = 43) DDD (34° [range: 11°-53°] vs. 51° [21°-72°]; p < 0.001). Number of DDD levels correlated strongly with ∆LL (ρ = -0.642; p < 0.001). Spinal stiffness was only seen in patients with ≥4 DDD levels. There was no correlation between ∆LL and facet orientation (p > 0.05). ∆LL correlated strongly with extensor atrophy at L3-L4 (ρ = -0.473), L4-L5 (ρ = -0.520), and L5-S1 (ρ = -0.473) and poorly with flexors at L4-L5 (ρ = -0.134) and L5-S1 (ρ = -0.227). Lumbar stiffness is dependent on modifiable (muscle atrophy) and nonmodifiable (extend of DDD) factors. This can guide nonoperative management of hip pathology, emphasizing the relevance of core muscle rehabilitation to improve posture and stiffness. Identification ≥4 DDD levels should alert surgeons of increased THA instability risk. Level of evidence: level IV, cohort series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been a growing interest in pathologic spine-hip relations (PSHR) in current literature, with the aim of reducing the risk of prosthetic impingement, dislocation, and edge loading in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The primary objective of this review is to determine the effect of different PSHR on primary THA outcomes and complication profile. The secondary objective is to stratify the risk of different subgroups of PSHR patients. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Randomised controlled trials, comparative cohort studies and case-control studies comparing outcomes and complication rates of primary THA in patients with and without a PSHR (spinal fusion; degenerative spinal conditions determining stiff spine and/or spinal misalignment) were included. The quality of the included studies and the risk of bias were assessed. The revision rate, complications, and clinical and radiological data were analysed. Complications included: aseptic loosening (AL), periprosthetic joint infections (PJI), hip dislocations and periprosthetic fractures (PF). RESULTS Fifteen articles were included with 3.306.342 THAs. The mean follow-up (FU) was 31.4 ± 21.7 months. The population was divided into three subgroups: spinal fusion patients (48.315 THAs); non-fused patients with spinal stiffness (106.110 THAs); non-fused patients with normal spines (3.151.917 THAs). A statistically significant risk stratification was observed about dislocation rate (5.98 ± 6.9% SF, 3.0 ± 1.9% non-SF Stiff and 2.26 ± 1.4% non-SF; p = 0.028). Similarly, about THA revision rate, a statistically significant risk stratification was also observed (7.3 ± 6.8% SF, 6.4 ± 3.1% non-SF Stiff and 2.7 ± 1.7% non-SF; p = 0.020). No statistically significant difference was observed when analysing AL, PJI and PF. CONCLUSION A statistically significant risk stratification of dislocation and revision rate was observed in the different PHSR, as theorised by the Bordeaux classification. Fused patients present a higher risk, degenerated and/or stiff spine an intermediate risk and mobile spines a lower risk profile. A standardised approach to THA candidate patients must consider the possible PSHR to improve clinical outcomes and reduce adverse events of THA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The pelvis plays a major role in the orientation of total hip arthroplasty (THA) implants and consequently, on the postoperative stability of the new hip joint. The relationship between the spine and pelvis affects the functional orientation of the acetabular cup, although this relationship differs between individuals and the positions encountered in everyday life. We believe this should be factored in when planning the THA procedure. This led us to conduct an in vivo ultrasound study to document the values of pelvic tilt in standing, sitting and lying positions in patients who have advanced hip osteoarthritis, before and after they undergo THA. HYPOTHESIS The pelvic tilt when standing, sitting and lying supine does not change significantly after THA. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pelvic tilt, defined as the angle between the anterior pelvic plane and a vertical line was measured using an ultrasound device in 30 patients before the THA procedure and again 6 months later in standing, sitting and lying positions. The measurements were done during an office visit with the patient on an examination table for the lying position, on a chair for the sitting position and with the heels and occiput against the wall for the standing position. RESULTS The preoperative and 6-month postoperative pelvic tilt were -5.6̊±10.4̊ [-30.6̊; 11.7̊] and -5.8̊±7.9̊ [-20.6̊; 10.4̊] (p=0.4129) when standing, -44.5̊±6.10 [-53.8̊; -23.9̊] and -43.5̊±6.9̊ [-54.4̊; -17.3̊] (p=0.5760) when sitting, -88.3̊±5.1̊ [-99.3̊; -78.7̊] and -87.9̊±5.9̊ [-97.6̊; -72.4̊] (p=0.6106) when lying supine, respectively. There was no significant difference in the pelvic tilt before and 6 months after THA procedure. Variations of±5̊; ±5-10̊; ±10-15̊ and 15-20̊ were found in 72% (18); 20% (5); 4% (1) and 4% (1) of patients when lying supine, 56% (14); 36% (9); 8% (2); 0% (0) of patients when standing and 76% (19); 24% (6); 0% (0); 0% (0) when sitting. The mean variation for each patient between the preoperative and 6 months postoperative measurement was 4.8±3.4̊ [0.8̊; 10.4̊] (p=0.4129), 3.5±2.3̊ [0.2̊; 9.1̊] (p=0.5760), and 4.6̊±3.2̊ [1.2̊; 15.4̊] (p=0.6106) for the standing, sitting and lying positions respectively. CONCLUSION The pelvic tilt does not significantly change 6 months after THA. Taking into account the various positions used in everyday life may help to optimize the implant position. We have described the use of an affordable, accurate and non-irradiating device that provides fast and easy measurements of pelvic tilt in various positions. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
The hip-spine relationship is a critical consideration in total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures. While THA is generally successful in patient, complications such as instability and dislocation can arise. These issues are significantly influenced by the alignment of implant components and the overall balance of the spine and pelvis, known as spinopelvic balance. Patients with alteration of those parameters, in particular rigid spines, often due to fusion surgery, face a higher risk of THA complications, with an emphasis on complications in instability, impingement and dislocation. For these reasons, over the years, computer modelling and simulation techniques have been developed to support clinicians in the different steps of surgery. The aim of the current review is to present current knowledge on hip-spine relationship to serve as a common platform of discussion among clinicians and engineers. The offered overview aims to update the reader on the main critical aspects of the issue, from both a theoretical and practical perspective, and to be a valuable introductory tool for those approaching this problem for the first time.

Pour AE, Innmann MM, Reichel F, Schaper B, Renkawitz T, Merle C, Grammatopoulos G. How Do Spinopelvic Characteristics Change Post-Total Hip Arthroplasty? A Longitudinal Assessment Raising Awareness of the Postoperative Period. J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00199-2. [PMID: 38460739 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.02.079] [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: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinopelvic characteristics, including sacral slope (SS), are commonly evaluated in different positions pre-total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to: 1) investigate the change in spinopelvic parameters at 7 days (early) and 1-year post-THA; and 2) identify patient characteristics associated with a change in SS of more than 7° post-THA. METHODS We prospectively studied 250 patients who underwent unilateral THA [132 women, age 66 years (range, 32 to 88)] and underwent biplanar images preoperatively and at 7 days and 1-year post-THA. Parameters measured included pelvic incidence, standing lumbar lordosis, SS, and proximal femoral angle (PFA). A SS change ≥ 7° was considered the threshold as it would result in more than a 5° change in cup orientation. RESULTS Early post-THA SSstanding remained within ± 6º from preoperative measurements in 75% of patients, reduced by ≥ 7° in 9%, and increased by ≥ 7° in 16%. Those that showed a reduction in SS had the lowest PFA and the highest SS pre-THA (P = .028, .107, and < 0.001, respectively). From 7 days until the 1-year mark, pelvic tilt increased, SS reduced (mean: -4º, range: -29 to 17º, P < .001), and patients stood with greater hip extension ΔPFAstanding (mean 7°, range: -34 to 37°, P < .001). At 1 year, SSseated had remained within ± 6º, relative to the pre-THA value, in 49% of patients. CONCLUSIONS Standing spinopelvic characteristics, especially SSstanding, remain within ±6° in three-quarters of patients both early- and at 1-year post-THA. In the remaining cases, pelvic tilt changes significantly. In 9% of cases, SS reduces ≥ 7° early THA, probably due to the alleviation of fixed-flexion contractures. The SSseated changes by ≥ ± 7° in almost 50% of cases in this study, and its clinical value as a preoperative planning tool should be questioned. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, diagnostic study.

The Effect of Pelvic Incidence on Outcomes After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement and Acetabular Labral Tears. Am J Sports Med 2024; 52:631-642.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the setting of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), decompression osteoplasties reconcile deleterious loading patterns caused by cam and pincer lesions. However, native variations of spinopelvic sagittal alignment may continue to perpetuate detrimental effects on the labrum, chondrolabral junction, and articular cartilage after hip arthroscopy. PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of pelvic incidence (PI) on postoperative outcomes after hip arthroscopy for acetabular labral tears in the setting of FAI. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A retrospective query of prospectively collected data identified patients ≥18 years of age who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAI and acetabular labral tears between February 2014 and January 2022, with 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month follow-ups. Measurements for PI, pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), and acetabular version were obtained via advanced diagnostic imaging. Patients were stratified into low-PI (<45°), moderate-PI (45°≤ PI ≤ 60°), and high-PI (>60°) cohorts. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), clinically meaningful outcomes (ie, minimal clinically important difference, Patient Acceptable Symptom State, substantial clinical benefit, and maximal outcome improvement), visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, and patient satisfaction were compared across cohorts. RESULTS A total of 74 patients met eligibility criteria and were stratified into low-PI (n = 28), moderate-PI (n = 31), and high-PI (n = 15) cohorts. Correspondingly, patients with high PI displayed significantly greater values for PT (P = .001), SS (P < .001), acetabular version (P < .001), and acetabular inclination (P = .049). By the 12- and 24-month follow-ups, the high-PI cohort was found to have significantly inferior PROMs, VAS pain scores, rates of clinically meaningful outcome achievement, and satisfaction relative to patients with moderate and/or low PI. No significant differences were found between cohorts regarding rates of revision arthroscopy, subsequent spine surgery, or conversion to total hip arthroplasty. CONCLUSION After hip arthroscopy, patients with a high PI (>60°) exhibited inferior PROMs, rates of achieving clinically meaningful thresholds, and satisfaction at 12 and 24 months relative to patients with low or moderate PI. Conversely, the outcomes of patients with low PI (<45°) were found to match the trajectory of those with a neutral spinopelvic alignment (45°≤ PI ≤ 60°). These findings highlight the importance of analyzing spinopelvic parameters preoperatively to prognosticate outcomes before hip arthroscopy for acetabular labral tears and FAI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Motion in the spine, pelvis and hips which make up the spinopelvic femoral complex (SPFC) implies mechanical relationships that help maintain trunk balance and optimize hip functionThe aim of this study was to understand the physiology of the SPFC and evaluate the dysfunctions of the SPFC and their implications for total hip arthroplasty considering the hip-spine relationship. METHODS A review of relevant and comprehensive studies on this subject is reported in order to highlight a pathophysiology that integrates the description of the evaluations of the spine-pelvic and hip parameters and recommendations for the kinematic planning of the THA procedure. The primary objective was to determine which type of hip-spine relationship has the highest risk for THA complications and to become proficient in selecting the priority surgical intervention when both the hip and spine are affected. Finally, this review attempted to assist hip surgeons with surgical technique, tools, implant selection, and goals of planning a THA that requires personalized kinematic alignment. Determine the influence of THA on these kinematics and the effect of stiffness of the lumbopelvic complex on the risk of THA failure. RESULTS When a person sits, the pelvis goes into retroversion and the acetabulum opens forward. This frees the femoral head and neck to allow hip flexion. The opposite - pelvic anteversion - occurs when a person stands. When pelvic mobility is limited, the hip must increase its range of motion to accommodate these posture changes. Disturbances in spinal and pelvic kinematics lead to abnormal hip function, which may contribute to complications following total hip arthroplasty (THA). CONCLUSION A precise evaluation of the parameters governing the SPFC must be taken into account in order to best optimize the placement and choice of THA implants. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Inertial measurement units (IMUs) need sensor-to-segment calibration to measure human kinematics. Multiple methods exist, but, when assessing populations with locomotor function pathologies, multiple limitations arise, including holding postures (limited by joint pain and stiffness), performing specific tasks (limited by lack of selectivity) or hypothesis on limb alignment (limited by bone deformity and joint stiffness). We propose a sensor-to-bone calibration based on bi-plane X-rays and a specifically designed fusion box to measure IMU orientation with respect to underlying bones. Eight patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty with bi-plane X-rays in their clinical pathway participated in the study. Patients underwent bi-plane X-rays with fusion box and skin markers followed by a gait analysis with IMUs and a marker-based method. The validity of the pelvis, thigh and hip kinematics measured with a conventional sensor-to-segment calibration and with the sensor-to-bone calibration were compared. Results showed (1) the feasibility of the fusion of bi-plane X-rays and IMUs in measuring the orientation of anatomical axes, and (2) higher validity of the sensor-to-bone calibration for the pelvic tilt and similar validity for other degrees of freedom. The main strength of this novel calibration is to remove conventional hypotheses on joint and segment orientations that are frequently violated in pathological populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative low back pain (LBP) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is classified as secondary hip-spine syndrome. The purpose of this study was to explore the correlations between cup orientation of THA and postoperative LBP in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). METHODS A retrospective cohort study included 364 ONFH patients who underwent bilateral THA between January 2011 and December 2020. Among them, 53 patients (14.6%) experienced postoperative LBP at the end of follow-up and were designated as pain group (PG). A control group (CG) consisting of 106 patients with similar age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) to those in the PG was selected. Postoperative LBP in the PG was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS). Demographic data, clinical information, and radiographic criteria were evaluated as potential predictors of LBP. RESULTS Patients in PG (mean age, 47.3 years [range, 27 to 75 years]; 42 [79%] male) had a mean VAS score of 4.6 (range, 1 to 9) compared with 0 for the patients in CG (mean age, 47.6 years [range, 19 to 77 years]; 84 [79%] male). There were no significant differences in clinical data between the two groups (p > 0.05). Preoperative radiographic variables also showed no significant differences between the PG and CG (p > 0.05). However, the postoperative inclination, anteversion, and standing ante-inclination (AI) were significantly lower in the PG compared to the CG, whereas the sitting and standing sacral slope (SS) were significantly higher (p < 0.05). Moreover, the variations in standing AI, standing and sitting pelvic tilt (PT) were significantly lower in the PG compared to the CG, while the variations in standing and sitting SS and lumbar lordosis (LL) were significantly higher (p < 0.05). The variation in standing AI in the PG showed a significantly correlation with the variation of standing SS, standing PT, and LL (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Postoperative LBP in ONFH patients after bilateral THA is significantly associated with the intraoperative cup orientation. The variation in standing AI is correlated with the variations in standing SS, standing PT, and LL, potentially contributing to the development of postoperative LBP.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A prospective study of healthy volunteers. OBJECTIVES The influence of the sagittal alignment of the spine and its influence on the extension reserve have been reported in the literature. However, specific analysis of the intrinsic coxofemoral and extrinsic pelvic component in subjects without any spinal or hip pathologies remains poorly reported. The aim of this study was to categorize the hip extension capacity, or extension reserve (ER), in relation to spinal sagittal alignment whilst standing, in a young healthy population. We hypothesized that the global extension reserve (GER) of the hip joint was influenced by the sagittal spinopelvic alignment. METHODS We evaluated the ER of 120 healthy Caucasian volunteers (56 females (46.7%), 74 males (53.3%); mean age 25.6 years), using low dose radiographs from an EOS® X-ray imaging system in 2 functional positions; neutral standing position and in a forward lunge position. The GER is defined as the sum of the intrinsic (hip) extension reserve (IER) and the extrinsic (pelvic) extension reserve (EER). Cases were grouped into 4 sagittal alignment subtypes according to the Roussouly classification, and analyzed. RESULTS Global extension reserve values were not significantly different between the 4 Roussouly subtypes (P = .094), nor between patients with a sacral slope (SS) <35° (types 1/2) and ≥ 35° (type 3/4) (P = .837). Statistically significant differences were seen between IER in each subtype (P = .015), and EER (P = .006). No difference in ER was seen between subtypes regarding pelvic incidence (PI). CONCLUSION An inverse relationship was found between IER and EER among Roussouly subtypes. The range of motion of the pelvis and the hip joint was higher in patients with a greater sacral slope.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The radiological study of the sagittal alignment of the spine in static and dynamic positions has allowed a better understanding of the clinical results of total hip prostheses. According to the Roussouly classification, the sacral slope in a standing position characterizes the patient with a stiff spine (less than 35̊) or a flexible spine (greater than 35̊). The objectives of this study were to compare, in a population of patients operated on for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), firstly, the kinematics of the lumbar-pelvic-femoral complex and secondly, the clinical presentation depending on whether the spine is stiff or flexible. HYPOTHESIS Patients with stiff spines (SS<35̊) were "hip users" and had less ability to compensate for their hip pathology. MATERIAL AND METHOD This prospective and comparative multicenter study was conducted with patients operated on arthroscopically for FAI between 2020 and 2021. All patients included received preoperative EOS imaging of the lower limbs and spine, in standing and seated positions. The following parameters were measured: pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI), lumbar lordosis (LL), and sacral slope (SS), as well as dynamic parameters (intrinsic mobility of the hip: delta standing/sitting femoral sacral angle, and of the pelvis: delta standing/sitting sacral slope). The functional result was evaluated at 1 year. RESULTS In the stiff spine group, 62 patients were included versus 138 in the flexible spine group. The mean follow-up was 15.1±3.3 months (9.2-24.3). Nineteen patients were lost to follow-up and there were 2 revisions for iterative arthroscopy. Intrinsic pelvic mobility and intrinsic hip mobility were 16̊±13.5 (-12; 44) and 44.5̊±28.5 (-9; 99) respectively in the stiff spine group. In the flexible spine group, these same measurements were 22̊±11.5 (-30; 45) and 29.7̊±22.7 (-33; 82) respectively. In the stiff spine group, the symptoms occurred at a significantly younger age: 28.3 years±9.5 (18-51) versus 31 years±8 (18-54) (p=0.017). DISCUSSION The sacral slope is a determining factor in the kinematics of impingement and the appearance of symptoms. The sacral slope helps define the concept of a "hip user" in symptomatic FAI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With the recent interest in hip-spine relationship, the link between femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and the lumbar-pelvic-femoral complex (LPFC) appears decisive. The objectives of this study were (1) to compare the pelvic version, as well as (2) all the parameters of the LPFC between two populations of healthy subjects, comparing those with radiological signs of FAI to those without and finally, (3) to evaluate the LPFC parameters according to the type of FAI. HYPOTHESIS Asymptomatic subjects with radiological signs of FAI had superior pelvic anteversion. MATERIALS AND METHOD This retrospective study was based on a prospective cohort of 118 voluntary asymptomatic patients including 62 men (52.5%) with a mean age of 25.6 years±4.4 (19-39). The following parameters: pelvic version (PV), pelvic incidence (PI), lumbar lordosis (LL), sacral slope (SS), hip flexion, intrinsic (IER) and extrinsic (EER) extension reserve were measured using EOS imaging™ in the reference standing position and the lunge position. The radiological signs of FAI (cam, pincer, mixed) were identified on these acquisitions then separated into 2 groups. The first was the group presenting with one or more images of FAI (FAI+) and the second group with no images of FAI (FAI-). RESULTS There were 143 hips in the FAI+ group compared to 93 hips in the FAI- group. There were 36.4% cams and 45% pincers. With an average of 9.08°±7.81 (-11.0; 27.0) versus 12.33°±8.94 (-5.0; 55.0), the PV was significantly lower (p=0.022) in the FAI+ group compared to the FAI- group. A post-hoc power analysis on the primary outcome (PV) confirmed sufficient power (1-β=0.809). Compared to the FAI- group, the cam group presented a significantly lower IER and EER (respectively p=0.014 and p=0.047). The comparative analysis between the FAI- and pincer groups found a significant difference in PI (p=0.001), PV (p<0.001), IER (p=0.017) and hip flexion (p<0.001), SS in lunge position (p=0.031) and EER (p=0.039). CONCLUSION Asymptomatic subjects with radiographic signs of FAI present with weak pelvic version when standing. This pelvic hyper-anteversion is mainly found in the event of a radiological pincer sign. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, retrospective comparative study.

Ambrus R, Douša P, Almási J, Šteňo B. Current Concepts in Diagnosis and Management of Patients Undergoing Total Hip Replacement with Concurrent Disorders of Spinopelvic Anatomy: A Narrative Review. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1591. [PMID: 37763710 PMCID: PMC10535821 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59091591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
Despite the high success rate of primary total hip replacement (THR), a significant early revision rate remains, which is largely attributed to instability and dislocations. Despite the implants being placed according to the safe zone philosophy of Lewinnek, occurrence of THR dislocation is not an uncommon complication. Large diagnostic and computational model studies have shown variability in patients' mobility based on the individual anatomic and functional relationship of the hip-pelvis-spine complex. The absolute and relative position of hip replacement components changes throughout motion of the patient's body. In the case of spinopelvic pathology such as spine stiffness, the system reaches abnormal positional states, as shown with computerized models. The clinical result of such pathologic hip positioning is edge loading, implant impingement, or even joint dislocation. To prevent such complications, surgeons must change the dogma of single correct implant positioning and take into account patients' individualized anatomy and function. It is essential to broaden the standard diagnostics and their anatomical interpretation, and correct the pre-operative surgical planning. The need for correct and personalized implant placement pushes forward the development and adaptation of novel technologies in THR, such as robotics. In this current concepts narrative review, we simplify the spinopelvic biomechanics and pathoanatomy, the relevant anatomical terminology, and the diagnosis and management algorithms most commonly used today.

Abstract
Aims The risk factors for abnormal spinopelvic mobility (SPM), defined as an anterior rotation of the spinopelvic tilt (∆SPT) ≥ 20° in a flexed-seated position, have been described. The implication of pelvic incidence (PI) is unclear, and the concept of lumbar lordosis (LL) based on anatomical limits may be erroneous. The distribution of LL, including a unusual shape in patients with a high lordosis, a low pelvic incidence, and an anteverted pelvis seems more relevant. Methods The clinical data of 311 consecutive patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty was retrospectively analyzed. We analyzed the different types of lumbar shapes that can present in patients to identify their potential associations with abnormal pelvic mobility, and we analyzed the potential risk factors associated with a ∆SPT ≥ 20° in the overall population. Results ΔSPT ≥ 20° rates were 28.3%, 11.8%, and 14.3% for patients whose spine shape was low PI/low lordosis (group 1), low PI anteverted (group 2), and high PI/high lordosis (group 3), respectively (p = 0.034). There was no association between ΔSPT ≥ 20° and PI ≤ 41° (odds ratio (OR) 2.01 (95% confidence interval (CI)0.88 to 4.62), p = 0.136). In the multivariate analysis, the following independent predictors of ΔSPT ≥ 20° were identified: SPT ≤ -10° (OR 3.49 (95% CI 1.59 to 7.66), p = 0.002), IP-LL ≥ 20 (OR 4.38 (95% CI 1.16 to 16.48), p = 0.029), and group 1 (OR 2.47 (95% CI 1.19; to 5.09), p = 0.0148). Conclusion If the PI value alone is not indicative of SPM, patients with a low PI, low lordosis and a lumbar apex at L4-L5 or below will have higher rates of abnormal SPM than patients with a low PI anteverted and high lordosis.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:5594. [PMID: 37685661 PMCID: PMC10488904 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12175594] [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: 05/28/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Hip arthroplasty is a very effective medical procedure. The optimal positioning of the components and the functioning of the endoprosthesis are influenced, among other things, by the mobility and balance of the spine. The aim of the study was to analyze the factors influencing the mobility of the lumbar-pelvic-iliac complex (spinopelvic mobility) together with the assessment of sagittal spinal alignment in patients prior to THA (total hip arthroplasty). Patients who underwent hip replacement surgery due to advanced osteoarthritis of the hip were enrolled in the study (n = 103). The sociodemographic characteristics, BMI, radiological advancement of the degenerative disease, quality of life, and range of joint mobility were completed using a proprietary questionnaire, the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire, and a clinical examination. X-ray images were analyzed: AP of the pelvis standing up, lateral of the spine standing and sitting. Key parameters were measured as ∆SS-change in sacrum angle value when changing from standing to sitting position and pelvic incidence (PI)-lumbar lordosis (LL) mismatch-sagittal lumbar pelvic balance measured in standing position. The patients were assigned to the appropriate groups according to the Hip-Spine Classification: normal group: 1A (n = 65; 63.1%), abnormal groups: 1B (n = 17; 16.5%), 2A (n = 16; 15.5%), 2B (n = 5; 4.9%). A correlation was shown between the abnormal groups and the individual components of PROMs in the scope of the self-service and normal activities categories (EQ-5D and EQ-VAS). However, the strength of the relationship turned out to be moderate, and the remaining components of the survey were statistically insignificant. The remaining factors analyzed, i.e., age, BMI, the range of hip motion, the presence of contracture in the joint in a clinical examination, and the radiological advancement of osteoarthritis on the Tonnis scale, do not predict abnormal relationships between the spine and the pelvis in our patients waiting for THA. Therefore, further investigations are needed to evaluate the correlation between preoperative factors and the lumbar-pelvic-iliac complex in patients prior to planned hip arthroplasty.

The Outcome of Hip Arthroscopy in the Setting of Lumbar Spine Disease Is Beneficial, Yet Limited: A Systematic Review of Existing Evidence. Arthroscopy 2023; 39:1568-1583.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare hip arthroscopy outcomes in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) patients with concurrent symptomatic lumbar spine disease to the outcomes of arthroscopic FAI patients without spine disease. METHODS A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines via PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Google Scholar databases. Studies were valid for inclusion if they had an average follow-up ≥12 months and compared patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in hip arthroscopy patients with and without concurrent spinal disease. Data collected included study characteristics, patient demographics, follow-up intervals, surgical indications, spinal pathology, PROMs, and reoperation rates. RESULTS Twelve studies were included in this systematic review. 3,107 patients who underwent hip arthroscopy were evaluated: 1,056 with coexisting lumbar spine disease (spine cohort) and 2,051 control subjects without spine disease (control cohort). The average follow-up period was 24 months. Across included studies, there were 35 instances wherein postoperative PROM scores reported by each cohort were compared. In all 35 instances, the spine cohort reported inferior postoperative PROM scores with the difference being significant (P < .05) on 23 PROMs. Collectively, 23 cases were available contrasting the proportion of each cohort to achieve the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). In 22 (95.65%) of these cases, the spine cohort achieved the MCID at a lower rate than the control cohort. There were 14 PROMs, wherein intragroup analyses were reported that compared the preoperative and postoperative score reported by the spine cohort. On all 14 PROMs, the spine cohort reported significant (P < .05) improvement after arthroscopic intervention. CONCLUSION FAI patients with coexisting lumbar spine pathology experience significant improvement from baseline state after arthroscopic intervention. However, the postoperative outcomes reported are inferior, and the improvement from arthroscopy was limited when compared to surgical control subjects with FAI and normal spinal anatomy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV: systematic review of Level II, III, and IV studies.

Abstract
The importance of hip-spine syndrome in a nonarthritic population, in which patients present with coexisting symptoms in both the hip and lumbar spine, is becoming more clear. Several studies have shown inferior outcomes in patients undergoing treatment for femoral acetabular impingement syndrome with coexisting spinal symptoms. The most important factor when treating HSS patients is understanding each patient's pathology. A history and physical examination with provocative tests for spinal and hip pathology often provide the answer. Routine standing and seated lateral radiographs are required to assess spinopelvic mobility. If the cause of pain is unclear, diagnostic intra-articular hip injections with local anesthetic and further imaging of the lumbar spine are recommended. In patients with degenerative spine disease with neural impingement, these symptoms may persist after hip arthroscopy, particularly if not improved by intra-articular injections. Patients should be appropriately counseled. If hip symptoms predominate, treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome results in improved outcomes, even with coexisting neural impingement. If spine symptoms predominate, referral to an appropriate specialist may be required. In patients with HSS, Occam's razor becomes blunt; thus, a single simple solution may not apply, and we may need to consider treating each pathology separately.

Abstract
Hip arthroplasty procedures are successful and reproducible. However, within the first two post-operative years, hip dislocations are the most common cause for revisions. This is despite the majority of the dislocations having the acetabular component within what is described as the 'safe zone'. The limitations of such boundaries do not take into account the variability of individual hip anatomy and functional pelvic orientation that exist. An alternative concept to address hip instability and improve overall outcomes is functional acetabular orientation. In this review article, we discuss the evolution of concepts, particularly the kinematic alignment technique for hip arthroplasty and the use of large-diameter heads to understand why total hip arthroplasty dislocations occur and how to prevent them.

Abstract
The usual Lewinnek orientation for cup positioning in total hip arthroplasty is not suitable for all patients as it does not consider the patient mobility. We propose an ultrasound-based approach to compute a Functional Safe Zone (FSZ) considering daily positions. Our goal was to validate it, and to evaluate how the input parameters impact the FSZ size and barycentre. The accuracy of the FSZ was first assessed by comparing the FSZ computed by the proposed approach and the true FSZ determined by 3D modelling. Then, the input parameters' impact on the FSZ was studied using a principal component analysis. The FSZ was estimated with errors below 0.5° for mean anteversion, mean inclination, and at edges. The pelvic tilts and the neck orientation were found correlated to the FSZ mean orientation, and the target ROM and the prosthesis dimensions to the FSZ size. Integrated into the clinical workflow, this non-ionising approach can be used to easily determine an optimal patient-specific cup orientation minimising the risks of dislocation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the association between global spinal malalignment and rapid progression of hip arthrosis. METHODS This was a retrospective, case-control study including 90 patients, contributing 90 hips, who underwent hemi- or total hip arthroplasty at our institution. For analysis, hips were classified into a rapid progression group, defined as ≥ 2 mm destruction of the femoral head or loss of the hip joint space within a 12-month period (n = 30), and a non-rapid progression group, defined by no observable hip disease progression over a period more than 12 months (n = 60). Logistic regression analysis identified factors that predicted rapid progression, with a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis used to confirm factors. RESULTS Significant between-group differences were identified for the following parameters: pelvic tilt (P = 0.002, PT), sagittal vertical axis (P = 0.002, SVA), and T1 pelvic angle (P < 0.001, TPA). On multiple logistic regression, PT (P = 0.002), SVA (P = 0.002), and TPA (P < 0.001) were predictive of a rapid progression on hip arthrosis, with the area under the curve being greater for TPA than PT (P = 0.035). CONCLUSION Global spinal alignment is associated with rapid progression of hip arthrosis. TPA could assist in identifying patients at risk for rapid progression of hip arthrosis, allowing for time management.

Abstract
Since Offierski and MacNab reported a close association between the hip and spine as hip-spine syndrome in 1983, many studies on spinal alignment in hip disorders have been conducted. Notably, the pelvic incidence angle (PI) is the most important parameter and is determined by the anatomical variations in the sacroiliac joint and hip. Studies on the association of the PI with hip disorders can help in understanding the pathophysiology of hip-spine syndrome. A PI increase has been observed during the evolution of bipedal locomotion in humans and in the acquisition of gait during child development. Although the PI is a fixed parameter that is stable and unaffected by posture from adulthood onwards, it has become clear that it increases in the standing position in older people. While it may be associated with a greater risk of developing or progressing to spinal disorders, the association between the PI and hip disorders remains controversial because of the multifactorial nature of hip osteoarthritis (HOA) and the wide range of PIs in HOA (18-96°), making the interpretation of results difficult. However, several hip disorders (i.e., femoroacetabular impingement and rapid destructive coxarthrosis) have been shown to be associated with the PI. Further investigation on this topic is, therefore, warranted.

Abstract
Restricted spinopelvic mobility received attention as a contributing factor for total hip arthroplasty (THA) instability. However, it is still unknown, how the spinopelvic function is influenced by age. In identifying the patients at highest risk for altered spinopelvic mechanics the study aimed to determine the association of age on the individual segments of the spinopelvic complex and global spinal sagittal alignment in patients undergoing THA. 197 patients were included in the prospective observational study conducting biplanar stereoradiography (EOS) in standing and sitting position pre-and postoperatively. Two independent investigators assessed C7-sagittal vertical axis (C7-SVA), cervical lordosis (CL), thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS), anterior plane pelvic tilt (APPT), and pelvic femoral angle (PFA). Key segments of the spinopelvic complex are defined as lumbar flexibility (∆ LL = LLstanding - LLsitting), pelvic mobility (∆ SS = SSstanding - SSsitting) and hip motion (∆ PFA = PFAstanding - PFAsitting). Pelvic mobility was further defined based on ∆ SS = SSstanding - SSsitting as stiff (∆ SS < 10°), normal (∆ SS ≥ 10°-30°) and hypermobile (∆ SS > 30°). The patient collective was classified into three groups: (1) < 60 years (n = 56), (2) ≥ 60-79 years (n = 112) and (3) ≥ 80 years (n = 29). Lumbar flexibility (∆ LL) was decreased with increasing age between all groups (36.1° vs. 23.1° vs. 17.2°/p1+2 < 0.000, p2+3 = 0.020, p1+3 < 0.000) postoperatively. Pelvic mobility (∆ SS) was decreased in the groups 2 and 3 compared to group 1 (21.0° and 17.9° vs. 27.8°/p1+2 < 0.000, p2+3 = 0.371, p1+3 = 0.001). Pelvic retroversion in standing position (APPT) was higher in group 2 and 3 compared to group 1 (1.9° and - 0.5° vs 6.9°/p1+2 < 0.000, p2+3 = 0.330, p1+3 < 0.000). Global sagittal spinal balance (C7-SVA) showed more imbalance in groups 2 and 3 compared to group 1 (60.4 mm and 71.2 mm vs. 34.5 mm/p1+2 < 0.000, p2+3 = 0.376, p1+3 < 0.000) postoperatively. The preoperative proportion of patients with stiff pelvic mobility in group 1 was distinctly lower than in group 3 (23.2% vs. 35.7%) and declined in group 1 to 1.8% compared to 20.7% in group 3 after THA. Changes after THA were reported for groups 1 and 2 representing spinopelvic complex key parameter lumbar flexibility (∆ LL), pelvic mobility (∆ SS) and hip motion (∆ PFA), but not for group 3. This is the first study to present age-adjusted normative values for spinopelvic mobility. The subgroups with increased age were identified as risk cohort for altered spinopelvic mechanics and enhanced sagittal spinal imbalance and limited capacity for improvement of mobility after THA. This valuable information serves to focus in the preoperative screening on the THA candidates with the highest risk for abnormal spinopelvic function.

Influence of kinematics of the lumbopelvic complex in hip arthroplasty dislocation: from assessment to recommendations. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023:10.1007/s00402-022-04722-9.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In total hip arthroplasty (THA), misplacement of the implant can provide instability. Adequate orientation of the acetabular cup is a challenge due to variations in inter-individual anatomy and kinematics of the pelvis in everyday life. The aim of this study was to characterize the kinematic factors influencing the risk of dislocation in order to give recommendations for optimal placement of the cup. We hypothesized that the lack of pelvic adaptation would influence the risk of prosthetic instability and motivate adapted. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty patients with primary unilateral THA were included in a matched case-control study. Seventy-four patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (G1) consisting of patients with postoperative THA dislocation (37 patients) and group 2 (G2), without episodes of dislocation within two years postoperatively (37 patients). In both groups, spino-pelvic parameters and cup orientation were measured in standing and sitting positions with EOS® X-ray imaging and compared to each other between 12 and 24 months post-operatively. RESULTS No significant difference between the two groups was found for static parameters. In a sitting position, a lack of pelvic retroversion with a significant lower variation in sacral slope was observed in group 1 (8.0° ± 9.3 for G1 versus 14.7° ± 6.2 for G2, p < 0.01). Twenty-two (59%) patients with THA instability had sacral slope variations of less than 10° versus eight (21% of patients) with stable THA (p < 0.01). Cup orientation in the Lewinnek safe zone was not significantly different (59% vs 67%, p = 0.62), and the spino-pelvic parameters and cup orientation measured did not change between the standing and sitting positions. However, only 14 (37%) cups in G1 were in the functional safe zone versus 24 (67%) in G2 (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Static parameters of the sagittal spinopelvic balance have a low predictive value for prosthetic instability. Dynamic analysis is essential. Kinematic parameters must be taken into account in determining the ideal position of the cup or stem. Stiffness with locked standing or sitting pelvis must be integrated in order to determine a personalized safe zone. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III (matched case-control study).

Abstract
A lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) has been reported to be prevalent among patients with hip dysplasia. The aims of this study were to determine the (1) prevalence of an LSTV in young patients presenting with hip pain and a group of asymptomatic volunteers, (2) effect of an LSTV on spinopelvic characteristics, and (3) presence of low back pain among patients with an LSTV. Methods This cross-sectional study included 102 patients with hip pathology and 51 asymptomatic volunteers (mean age, 33.9 ± 7.3 years; mean body mass index, 26.0 ± 5.0 kg/m2; 57.5% female). Participants underwent radiographic assessment of the lumbar spine and pelvis in standing and deep-seated positions. LSTV occurrence was classified according to the Castellvi system. Spinopelvic characteristics included lumbar lordosis (including segmental lumbar angles), pelvic tilt, and hip flexion (pelvic-femoral angle). Differences between standing and deep-seated values were calculated. Low back pain was assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index. Results The prevalence of LSTV type ≥II was 8.5%, with no difference between patients and volunteers (p = 0.386). Individuals with an LSTV had a greater standing L1-L5 angle (mean, 51.6° ± 11.7° versus 38.9° ± 9.3°; p < 0.001). The overall spinal flexion (change in L1-S1 angle between the standing and deep-seated positions) in individuals with an LSTV was similar to that in individuals without an LSTV; restricted L5-S1 mobility was compensated for at L1-L2 (10.2° ± 5.8° in those with versus 8.4° ± 4.1° in those without an LSTV; p = 0.070). No significant difference in the presence of low back pain was found (p = 0.250). Conclusions An LSTV was found in 8.5% of young adults, with no difference between patients with hip pathology and controls. Individuals with an LSTV have greater standing lumbar lordosis, with altered mechanics at the cephalad adjacent level, which may predispose these individuals to degenerative changes at this level. Level of Evidence Prognostic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
Consideration of pelvic mobility when positioning implants for total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been shown to reduce the risk of complications such as dislocation, squeaking and excessive wear. We aim to test the repeatability of pelvic tilt measurements taken between three positions (standing, flexed-seated and step-up) by an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and hence, evaluate their reliability in screening for high pelvic mobility in patients undergoing THA. The repeated IMU measurements of pelvic tilt were analysed for consistency and compared with measures taken by x-ray analysis. Our study showed greater variation in measures taken by the IMU particularly in the flexed-seated position. The patient's pelvic tilt in this position negatively correlated with their mid-back angle, suggesting the posture of the patient is a source of variation in the flexed-seated position if not kept consistent during assessments. IMUs were overall able to produce accurate and reliable measurements of pelvic tilt; however, protocols will need to be adjusted to factor in a patient's mid-back angle when taking future readings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hip-spine syndrome, wherein flexion deformity of the hip might exaggerate normal lumbar lordosis (LL), was first described in 1983. It could result in subluxation of the posterior facets and cause low back pain (LBP). However, the clinical outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and spinal alignment changes in patients with lumbar hyperlordosis (hyper LL) remain unknown. We aimed to clarify the proportion of patients with hyper LL before THA and compare pre- and post-operative sagittal spinal alignment, LBP, and clinical outcomes between patients with hyper LL and those with normal LL. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated 278 patients who underwent primary THA between December 2015 and December 2019. Spine radiographs in the standing position were examined preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. Patients with hyper LL were defined as having a pelvic incidence (PI) minus LL of < - 9° preoperatively. The control group included age- and sex-matched patients with normal LL, defined by a PI minus LL of - 9° to 9°. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for LBP, Harris hip score (HHS), Oxford hip score (OHS), and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score. RESULTS Thirty-eight patients (13.7%) had hyper LL, and they exhibited a lower pelvic tilt, lower sagittal vertical axis, and greater sigmoid curvature than did the controls. Evaluation of changes in the spinal alignment after surgery showed that the pelvis tilted more posteriorly, and LL decreased more in the hyper LL group than in the control group. Pre- and post-operative VAS for LBP, HHS, OHS, and UCLA activity scores were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION Hyper LL in patients with hip osteoarthritis had no adverse effects on LBP and the clinical outcomes of THA. Hyper LL may partially result from a flexible and adaptable lumbo-pelvic structure.

Abstract
PURPOSE The pathogenic mechanism of the hip-spine syndrome is still poorly elucidated. Some studies have reported a reduction in low back pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the biomechanical mechanisms of THA acting on the lumbar spine are not well understood. The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of THA on (1) the lumbar lordosis and the lumbar flexibility and (2) the lumbar intervertebral disc height. METHODS A total of 197 primary THA patients were prospectively enrolled. Pre- and post-operative biplanar stereoradiography was performed in standing and sitting positions. Spinopelvic parameters (lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic tilt, sacral slope, pelvic incidence), sagittal spinal alignment (sagittal vertical axis, PI-LL mismatch (PI-LL)) and lumbar disc height index (DHI) for each segment (L1/2 to L5/S1) were evaluated. The difference between standing and sitting LL (∆LL = LLstanding - LLsitting) was determined as lumbar flexibility. Osteochondrosis intervertebralis was graded according to Kellgren and Lawrence (0-4), and patients were assigned to subgroups (mild: 0-2; severe: 3-4). RESULTS Lumbar flexibility increased significantly after THA (pre: 22.04 ± 12.26°; post: 25.87 ± 12.26°; p < 0.001), due to significant alterations in LL in standing (pre: 51.3 ± 14.3°; post: 52.4 ± 13.8°; p < 0.001) and sitting (pre: 29.4 ± 15.4°; post: 26.7 ± 15.4°; p = 0.01). ∆LL increased significantly in both subgroups stratified by osteochondrosis (pre/post: ΔLLmild: 25.4 (± 11.8)/29.4 ± 12.0°; p < 0.001; ΔLLsevere: 17.5 (± 11.4)/21.0 ± 10.9°; p = 0.003). The DHI increased significantly from pre-operatively to post-operatively in each lumbar segment. PI-LL mismatch decreased significantly after THA (pre: 3.5°; post: 1.4°; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The impact of THA on the spinopelvic complex was demonstrated by significantly improved lumbar flexibility and a gain in post-operative disc height. These results illustrate the close interaction between the pelvis and the vertebral column. The investigation provides new insights into the biomechanical patterns influencing the hip-spine syndrome.

Abstract
Hip-spine syndrome refers to concurrent hip and spine pathology with overlapping symptoms. Most of the literature has studied it in relation to total hip arthroplasty literature and has been shown to increase dislocation risk. Lumbar spine and pelvic mobility have been studied less frequently in relation to nonarthritic pathologic hip states. Understanding the biomechanical relationship between the lumbar spine, pelvis, and hip can help elucidate how hip-spine syndrome affects the nonarthritic hip and how it impacts outcomes of hip arthroscopy. Changes in lumbar spine motion may be the reason certain predisposed patients develop symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) or ischiofemoral impingement. Some athletes may be "hip users" with a low pelvic incidence, making them more reliant on hip motion due to less-intrinsic lumbopelvic motion. When these patients have FAI morphology, their increased reliance on hip motion makes them prone to experiencing femoroacetabular contact and concurrent symptoms. Other athletes may be "spine users," with larger pelvic incidence and more baseline lumbopelvic motion, making them less reliant on hip motion and therefore less prone to experiencing hip impingement even with hip FAI morphology. Hip-spine syndrome also appears to have an impact on patient selection, role of nonoperative treatment, and hip arthroscopy surgical outcomes. Identifying patients with concurrent pathology may allow surgeons to recommend targeted physical therapy or counsel patients better on their expectations after surgery.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effects of spinopelvic alignment parameters after spinal fusion on the rate of joint space narrowing in nonarthritic hips. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Spinal fusion affects the forces on the adjacent hip joint. Therefore, hip joint narrowing may be increased after spinal fusion surgery. However, the relationship between spinal alignment and hip degeneration remains unclarified. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data from patients who underwent lumbar spinal fusion from 2011 to 2018 at our institute. Patients with hip osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥II) or hip dysplasia were excluded. The rate of hip joint space narrowing after spinal fusion was measured in 191 patients (382 hips). We assessed the effects of the following spinopelvic alignment parameters on the joint narrowing rate: pelvic tilt, sacral slope (SS), pelvic incidence (PI), lumbar lordosis (LL), PI-LL, sagittal vertical axis, and distance between the C7 plumb line, and the central sacral vertical line (C7-CSVL). RESULTS The hip joint narrowing rate was greater when four or more levels were fused compared with single-level fusion. After adjusting for the effects of patient-related factors, the alignment parameters significantly associated with the hip joint narrowing rate were the PI ( P = 0.0002), SS ( P = 0.047), and PI-LL ( P = 0.0022). A subgroup analysis of patients who underwent long fusion (four or more levels combined with iliac screws) also indicated that the PI ( P = 0.013), SS ( P = 0.0054), and PI-LL ( P = 0.046) were associated with the hip joint narrowing rate. CONCLUSION The PI, SS, and PI-LL were associated with the progression of hip joint narrowing after spinal fusion, especially after fusion of four or more levels. Surgeons need to be aware of the risk of increased hip joint narrowing in patients with a large PI, SS, and PI-LL after fusion surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Decreased pelvic mobility and pelvic retroversion may result from spinal degeneration and lead to changes in the orientation of the acetabular implant after total hip arthroplasty (THA). While multiple patient and surgery-related factors contribute to THA dislocations, there is increasing evidence that sagittal spinopelvic dynamics are relevant for THA stability. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the relationship between previously described sagittal spinopelvic characteristics and implant dislocations after primary THA. METHODS A comprehensive literature search in the PubMed and Embase databases was conducted for studies reporting on spinopelvic morphology, alignment, pathology, or surgery and THA dislocations. Risk of bias was assessed using the MINORS criteria. Because of high heterogeneity in study methodology, a synthesis of best evidence was performed. Odds ratios (ORs), relative risks (RRs), and effect sizes (g) were calculated. RESULTS Fifteen studies (1,007,900 THAs) with quality scores of 15 to 23 out of 24 were included. Nine different spinopelvic alignment parameters (8 studies, g = 0.14 to 2.02), spinal pathology (2 studies, OR = 1.9 to 29.2), and previous spinal fusion surgery (8 studies, OR = 1.59 to 23.7, RR = 3.0) were found to be related to THA dislocation. Conflicting results were found for another sagittal pelvic morphology parameter, pelvic incidence. CONCLUSIONS Several sagittal spinopelvic patient characteristics were found to be related to THA dislocation, and the associated risks were greater than for other patient and surgery-related factors. Future research is needed to determine which of those characteristics and parameters should be taken into account in patients undergoing primary THA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic Level III.

Abstract
The conversion from a fused hip to conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis can be challenging. The problems are related to patient positioning, surgical exposure, femoral neck osteotomy, identifying the true acetabulum, and proper implant positioning. This case series describes our experience using the Mako Robotic-Arm in four bilateral THA procedures (each conducted in a single session) and one unilateral procedure in a fifth patient. Robotic total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) simplified THA by providing real-time information on the relative positions of the femur, pelvis, instruments, and implants to guide the surgery and implant placement.

Effect of Coronal and Sagittal Spinal Malalignment on Spinopelvic Mobility in Patients Undergoing Total Hip Replacement: A Prospective Observational Study. Clin Spine Surg 2022; 35:E510-E519.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN This was a prospective observational study. OBJECTIVE This investigation aimed (1) to determine the impact of sagittal spinal alignment with C7-sagittal vertical axis (SVA), pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis (PI-LL) mismatch and Roussouly classification on individual segments of spinopelvic mobility represented by lumbar flexibility [∆lumbar lordosis (LL)], pelvic mobility [∆pelvic tilt (PT)], and hip motion [∆pelvic femoral angle (PFA)] and (2) to assess the influence of coronal spinal balance on the spinopelvic complex in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) preoperatively and postoperatively. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Restricted spinopelvic mobility gained attention as a contributing factor for THA instability. However, it remains unclear what influence the coronal and sagittal spinal alignment has on spinopelvic mobility. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 197 THA patients were included in the investigation conducting biplanar stereoradiography in standing and sitting position preoperatively and postoperatively. Two independent investigators assessed C7-SVA (≤50 mm balanced, >50 mm imbalanced), PI-LL (≤10 degrees balanced, >10 degrees imbalanced), refounded Roussouly classification, coronal spinal balance with C7-central sacral vertical line, LL, pelvic incidence (PI), PT, PFA. Individual segments of spinopelvic mobility based on the change from standing to sitting were defined as ∆LL, ∆PT, and ∆PFA. Unpaired t test or Welch t test for comparison between groups of 2 was applied. Analysis of variance and post hoc analysis according to Bonferroni or Games-Howell was used to determine differences between groups of >2. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to determine the interrater reliability of the radiographic measurements. RESULTS Significant differences were demonstrated for ∆LL (SVA balanced/imbalanced: 24.7 degrees/19.1 degrees, P =0.001; PI-LL balanced/imbalanced: 24.4 degrees/16.4 degrees, P <0.000), PT (SVA balanced/imbalanced: 12.5 degrees/15.2 degrees, P =0.029; PI-LL balanced/imbalanced: 10.8 degrees/20.5 degrees, P <0.000), PI (SVA balanced/imbalanced: 52.9 degrees/56.9 degrees, P =0.001; PI-LL balanced/imbalanced: 52.1 degrees/61.0 degrees, P <0.000), LL (SVA balanced/imbalanced: 54.8 degrees/47.8 degrees, P =0.029; PI-LL balanced/imbalanced: 55.3 degrees/42.6 degrees, P <0.000). The coronal spinal balance (central sacral vertical line) indicated no significant differences regarding spinopelvic mobility between positive, neutral, or negative balanced groups. Significant differences with decreased pelvic mobility (∆PT) and lumbar flexibility (∆LL) in low-grade PI types 1 and 2 compared with high-grade PI type 4 according to the Roussouly classification were observed. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to investigate spinal sagittal alignment using 3 different classifications in association to the spinopelvic complex in THA patients preoperatively and postoperatively. The significantly altered spinopelvic mechanics with decreased lumbar flexibility and increased pelvic retroversion in sagittal imbalanced patients clearly indicate the need for a separate consideration of the global spinal sagittal alignment. Our findings emphasize the importance of risk stratification for THA candidates in terms of sagittal imbalance attempting to mitigate the THA instability risk with accurate preoperative planning.

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.

Abstract
Objective To analyze the effect of painless rehabilitation nursing for hip replacement patients. Method 124 elderly patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2020 were selected as study subjects. They were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The control group was given routine nursing care, and the observation group was given painless rehabilitation care on the basis of the control group. Knee circumference, knee pain, knee function, agitation and sleep duration were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results The changes of knee circumference diametral in both groups were significantly decreased at 1, 3 and 7 days after operation; The changes of knee circumference diametral in the observation group were significantly smaller than those in the control group at 3,7 days after operation (P <0.05). VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) scores at 1, 3 and 7 d after operation were significantly decreased in both groups; The score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). HSS (Hospital for special surgery) scores increased significantly in both groups at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation. All the comparisons were statistically significant (P <0.05); HSS scores of observation group were significantly higher than control group at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after surgery. The difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). The agitation rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P <0.05). Compared with the control group, the sleep time of observation group increased significantly in each period, with statistically significant difference (P <0.05). Conclusion Perioperative painless rehabilitation nursing interventions for patients with hip replacement could significantly relieve swelling and pain, it was helpful for the patients to recover the function of knee joint after operation and worthy of clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to assess the association between a spinopelvic malalignment and patient-reported perception of the hip as being "artificial" after total hip arthroplasty (THA). This is a critical issue as an age-related spinopelvic mismatch has been postulated to be associated with the risk of poor outcomes after THA. METHODS This is a retrospective case-control study of 274 THAs (244 of whom were women), with a mean follow-up of 6.2 (range 5.0-8.2) years. Hip perception was assessed by asking subjects whether their joint felt "natural" or "artificial." The association between an artificial perception and the following factors was evaluated: age, gender, psoas muscle index (PMI, cross-sectional area of bilateral psoas at L3 divided by height squared), and spinopelvic measures using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS An artificial hip perception (130 hips, 47.4%) was associated with a lower PMI (P = .016), Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement score (P = .035), EuroQol 5-Dimension score (P = .041), and a higher incidence of a pelvic incidence-minus-lumbar lordosis (PI-LL) mismatch >10° (P < .001). A flatback deformity (odds ratio 2.24, 95% confidence interval 1.22-6.31, P = .001) and PMI (odds ratio 0.61, 95% confidence interval 0.34-0.82, P = .012) were predictive of an artificial perception. With the threshold of PI-LL set to 10°, PMI (P = .034), Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement score (P < .001), joint perception (P = .020), EuroQol 5-Dimension score (P = .028), pain (P = .031), and satisfaction (P < .001) differed between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION A flatback deformity is associated with the risk of an artificial perception post-THA, especially in patients with sarcopenia. PMI and PI-LL measurements may help predict THA outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the short-term effectiveness of MAKO robot assisted complex total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS The clinical data of 15 patients (17 hips) underwent MAKO robot assisted complex THA between May 2020 and June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 5 males and 10 females with the age ranged from 19 to 70 years (median, 49 years), included 9 cases (9 hips) of developmental dysplasia of the hip (Crowe type Ⅱ in 5 hips, type Ⅲ in 1 hip, and type Ⅳ in 3 hips), 1 case (2 hips) of rheumatoid arthritis, 2 cases (3 hips) of ankylosing spondylitis, 3 cases (3 hips) of secondary arthritis with a history of acetabular fracture and internal fixation. The acetabular cup abduction angle and anteversion angle were measured at 3 months after operation, and compared with those measured by MAKO robot system before and immediately after operation. The femoral offset and leg length discrepancy (LLD) were measured at 3 months after operation, which were compared with those before operation. Harris hip score (HHS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) score were used to evaluate hip function before operation and at 3 months after operation. RESULTS All 15 patients (17 hips) completed the operation successfully. The operation time was 75-175 minutes, with an average of 116.3 minutes; the intraoperative blood loss was 100-800 mL, with an average of 381.3 mL. Two patients were not included in the statistics because of intraoperative and postoperative complications, the remaining 13 patients (15 hips) had no serious complication such as vascular and nerve injuries, and 3 patients had intermuscular vein thrombosis. The 13 patients (15 hips) were followed up 3-15 months, with an average of 8 months. At last follow-up, the position of prosthesis did not change and there was no signs of loosening. There was no significant difference in acetabular abduction angle at immediate and 3 months after operation when compared with preoperative one ( P>0.05), and the acetabular anteversion angle was significantly lower than that before operation ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in acetabular abduction angle and anteversion angle between at immediate and 3 months after operation ( P>0.05). The LLD, offset, HHS score, and VAS score were significantly improved at 3 months after operation when compared with preoperative ones ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION MAKO robot assisted complex THA can achieve good short-term effectiveness, improve the hip range of motion, reduce the length difference between bilateral lower limbs, and improve the quality of patients' life.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been described as the operation of the century. Despite significant advancement in the field of technology, hip instability remains second most common cause of revision hip surgery after infection. There is garning interest to identify role of hip-spine relationship in order to identify high-risk patients for instability after THA. Acetabular component position varies according to spinal alignment and mobility in order to decrease risk of impingement and instability. Preoperative work up includes standing pelvis anteroposterior radiograph and lateral spino-pelvic radiograph in standing and sitting position. The focus of this review is to develop an algorithm to address the spino-pelvic pathology and guide the treatment on the basis of sagittal movement of the spine-pelvis-hip complex and to minimise the rate of dislocation following THA.

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
BACKGROUND Ante-inclination (AI) of the cup is a key component of the combined sagittal index (CSI) for predicting joint stability after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We aimed to (1) validate a mathematical algorithm relating AI to radiographic anteversion (RA), radiographic inclination (RI), and pelvic tilt (PT); (2) convert the AI criterion of the CSI into the coronal functional safe zone (CFSZ) and explore the influences of standing-to-sitting pelvic motion (PM) and pelvic incidence (PI) on the CFSZ; and (3) attempt to locate a universal cup orientation that always fulfills the AI criterion of the CSI for all patients. METHODS In the first phase, a phantom pelvis was designed to simulate a range of PT values, and an acetabular cup was implanted with different RA, RI, and PT settings using a robot-assisted technique and scanned using the EOS imaging system. The second phase involved patient radiographs. We enrolled 100 patients who underwent robot-assisted THA from April 2019 to December 2019, and EOS images before THA and at the 12-month follow-up were recorded. The AI was measured on a lateral radiograph; this angle was used as the reference and compared with the calculated AI to assess the accuracy of the algorithm. Linear regression was conducted to explore the relationship between the size of the CFSZ and the values of PM and PI. We calculated the intersection of the CFSZs of the patients to find a universal cup orientation (RA and RI) for the CSI. RESULTS The algorithm was accurate according to both the phantom study and patient radiographs using PT at the time of follow-up, with mean absolute errors (MAEs) of 1.5° (width of 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.2°) and 2.8° (width of 95% CI, 3.0°), respectively. However, the preoperatively predicted AI had an MAE of 9.0° (width of 95% CI, 10.5°). In patient subgroups with lower PM or PI, the sizes of the CFSZ and of its intersection with the Lewinnek safe zone were significantly smaller (p < 0.017). No universal cup orientation existed to fulfill the CSI criteria for all patients or for any of the PM or PI subgroups. CONCLUSIONS The target orientation for the cup in THA should be individualized. Our validated algorithm may serve as a quantitative tool for the patient-specific optimization of cup AI on the basis of the functional safe zone. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The Lewinnek safe zone fails because it cannot predict the functional orientation of the cup. The concept of a universal safe zone of cup orientation should be abandoned and replaced by a patient-specific surgical target.

The significant relationship among the factors of pelvic incidence, standing lumbar lordosis, and lumbar flexibility in Japanese patients with hip osteoarthritis: A descriptive radiographic study. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2022; 108:103123. [PMID: 34700058 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2021.103123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2020] [Revised: 04/23/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Spine stiffness is known to increase the risk of total hip replacement (THR) instability. The sagittal posture and lumbo-pelvic kinematics have therefore become parameters of interest when planning THR. We conducted this study to investigate (1) the distribution and characteristics of the spino-pelvic standing alignment, (2) the relationship between pelvic incidence (PI) and standing lumbar lordosis (LL) and lumbar flexibility, in Japanese hip osteoarthritis patients. HYPOTHESIS (1) Japanese hip osteoarthritis patients with different sagittal spino-pelvic alignments do not differ markedly in their demographics, PI, or lumbar flexibility; and (2) there is no significant relationship between PI, standing LL, and lumbar flexibility in a population of Japanese hip osteoarthritis patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study of radiographs from 945 Japanese patients who consecutively received THR for the treatment of hip osteoarthritis. All patients pre-operatively underwent lateral standing and deep-seated lumbo-pelvic radiography on which the spino-pelvic parameters were measured. The difference between the standing and deep-seated LL angles defined the lumbar flexibility and was calculated as the delta (Δ) LL. Individual spino-pelvic standing alignment was stratified based on the difference between the PI and standing LL ('PI-LL mismatch'). 'PI-LL mismatch' of<-10°, between -10° and 10°, and>10° was defined as hyperlordosis, normolordosis, and flatback, respectively. RESULTS In the present study, the spinal alignment of 115/945 (12.2%), 559/945 (59.2%), and 271/945 (28.6%) patients were classified as hyperlordosis, normolordosis, and flatback, respectively. Hyperlordotic patients had significantly lower PI (47.6°±7.8° vs. 52.7°±10.5°, p<0.001) and higher ΔLL (60.6°±12.6° vs. 51.6°±12.8°, p<0.001) than normolordotic patients. Patients with flatback were significantly older (age, 69.1±9.1 years vs. 62.7±9.8 years, p<0.001) with higher PI (56.9°±11.7° vs. 52.7°±10.5°, p<0.001) and lower ΔLL (35.2°±17.4° vs. 51.6°±12.8°, p<0.001) than normolordotic patients. A significant relationship between PI and the standing LL was found in the whole cohort (r=0.409, p=0.009), hyperlordotic (r=0.785, p<0.001), normolordotic (r=0.857, p<0.001), and flatback (r=0.664, p<0.001) patients. Significant relationships between the PI and ΔLL were also found in normolordotic (r=0.442, p=0.004) and flatback (r=0.449, p=0.003) patients but not hyperlordotic patients (r=0.154, p=0.367). DISCUSSION A large proportion of Japanese hip osteoarthritis patients have abnormal PI-LL mismatch (12% and 29% have hyperlordosis and flatback, respectively). The PI was a determinant of the standing LL and the lumbar flexibility, especially in the normolordotic and flatback individuals. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III; retrospective diagnostic radiographic study.

Spinopelvic alignment and low back pain after total hip arthroplasty: a scoping review. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:250. [PMID: 35291992 PMCID: PMC8925238 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05154-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Spinopelvic alignment is increasingly considered as an essential factor for maintaining an energy-efficient posture in individuals with normal or pathological status. Although several previous studies have shown that changes in the sagittal spinopelvic alignment may occur in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA), no review of this area has been completed so far. Thus, the objective of this scoping review was to summarize the evidence investigating changes in spinopelvic alignment and low back pain (LBP) following THA. DATA SOURCES We adhered to the established methodology for scoping reviews. Four electronic databases were systematically searched from inception-December 31, 2021. STUDY SELECTION We selected prospective or retrospective observational or intervention studies that included patients with THA. DATA EXTRACTION Data extraction and levels of evidence were independently performed using standardized checklists. DATA SYNTHESIS A total of 45 papers were included in this scoping review, involving 5185 participants with THA. Pelvic tilt was the most common parameter measured in the eligible studies (n = 26). The results were not consistent across all studies; however, it was demonstrated that the distribution of pelvic tilt following THA had a range of 25° posterior to 20° anterior. Moreover, decreased sacral slope and lower pelvic incidence were associated with increased risk of dislocation in patients with THA. Lumbar spine scoliosis did not change significantly after THA in patients with bilateral hip osteoarthritis (5.50°(1.16°) vs. 3.73°(1.16°); P-value = 0.29). Finally, one study indicated that LBP improvement was not correlated with postoperative changes in spinopelvic alignment parameters. Several methodological issues were addressed in this study, including no sample size calculation and no type-I error adjustment for outcome multiplicity. CONCLUSIONS Changes in spinopelvic alignment may occur after THA and may improve with time. Patients with a THA dislocation usually show abnormal spinopelvic alignment compared to patients without a THA dislocation. LBP usually improves markedly over time following THA.

Kobayashi T, Morimoto T, Otani K, Mawatari M. Locomotive Syndrome and Lumbar Spine Disease: A Systematic Review. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11051304. [PMID: 35268395 PMCID: PMC8911455 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11051304] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Locomotive syndrome (LS) is defined based on the Loco-Check, 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-25), 5-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-5), Stand-Up Test, Two-Step Test, or a total assessment (i.e., positive for one or more of the GLFS-25, Stand-Up Test, and Two-Step Test). Lumbar spine disease has been reported to be one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders leading to LS. We therefore conducted a systematic review via PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and MEDLINE, based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A total of 26 studies were considered to be eligible for inclusion in this systematic review. The GLFS-25 showed an association with low back pain, sagittal spinopelvic malalignment, and lumbar spinal stenosis but not vertebral fracture. The GLFS-5 showed an association with low back pain and lumbar spinal stenosis. The Loco-Check and Two-Step Test showed an association with low back pain, sagittal spinopelvic malalignment, and lumbar spinal stenosis. The Stand-Up Test showed no association with lumbar spinal stenosis. The total assessment showed an association with low back pain and lumbar spinal stenosis. Furthermore, the GLFS-25, Two-Step Test, and total assessment were improved by spinal surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis. The current evidence concerning the relationship between LS and lumbar spine disease still seems insufficient, so further investigations are required on this topic.
