Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of cup position and assess the changes in pelvic tilt during primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the lateral decubitus position using a new computed tomography (CT)-based navigation system with augmented reality (AR) technology. MATERIALS AND METHODS There were 37 cementless THAs performed using a CT-based navigation system with AR technology in the lateral decubitus position and 63 cementless THAs performed using manual implant techniques in the lateral decubitus position in this retrospective study. Postoperative cup radiographic inclination and anteversion were measured using postoperative CT, and the proportion of hips within Lewinnek's safe zone was analyzed and compared between the two groups. The mean absolute values of navigation error were assessed. Intraoperative pelvic tilt angles were also recorded using navigation system. RESULTS The percentage of cups inside Lewinnek's safe zone was 100% in the navigation group and 35% in the control group (p < 0.001). The mean absolute values of navigation error in inclination and anteversion were 2.9° ± 2.1° and 3.3° ± 2.4°, respectively. The mean abduction angle of the pelvis was 5.1° ± 4.8° after placing the patients in the lateral decubitus position and 4.1° ± 6.0° after cup placement. The mean posterior tilt angle was 6.8° ± 5.1° after placing the patients in the lateral decubitus position and 9.3° ± 5.9° after cup placement. The mean internal rotation angle was 14.8° ± 7.4° after cup placement. There were no correlations between the navigation error in inclination or anteversion and the absolute values of changes of the pelvic tilt angle at any phase. CONCLUSIONS Although progressive pelvic motion occurred in THA in the lateral decubitus position, especially during cup placement, the CT-based navigation system with AR technology improved cup placement accuracy.

Impact of acetabular roof's angle on precision of cup center of rotation reproduction and placement in total hip arthroplasty. Reumatologia 2024; 62:128-133. [PMID: 38799773 PMCID: PMC11114134 DOI: 10.5114/reum/186724] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is nowadays considered as the most effective treatment option for end-stage hip osteoarthritis (OA) and one of the most successful orthopedic procedures. Precise reproduction of the center of rotation (COR) is among the most important aspects of recreating native hip biomechanics after THA as it is strictly related to muscle tension and force distribution within the hip joint. Both vertical and horizontal shift in cup positioning and COR restoration are commonly observed radiological signs corresponding with lesser functional outcome. The aim of this study was to assess whether the superior border of the native acetabulum morphology has an impact on cup positioning and COR restoration in patients undergoing THA as treatment of primary OA of the hip. Material and methods A cohort of 150 consecutive patients with diagnosis of end-stage primary hip OA who underwent THA via an anterolateral approach with the same implant in 2021 was analyzed retrospectively. Standard standing pelvic X-rays were performed pre- and postoperatively and appropriate measurements were taken. Several radiological parameters on obtained X-rays were assessed. Statistical analysis of all the measurements was performed. Results There was a statistically significant positive weak correlation between cup offset and acetabular roof angle (rs = 0.25, p = 0.002). There were statistically insignificant positive correlations between acetabular roof angle and COR restoration (rs = 0.14, p = 0.097), acetabular roof angle and total offset (rs = 0.087, p = 0.29) and a negative correlation between acetabular roof angle and femoral offset (rs = 0.071, p = 0.39). Conclusions The present study revealed that preoperative acetabular roof angle influences the positioning of the prosthetic cup in the transverse axis. There also seems to be a correlation between the acetabular roof angle and COR restoration, but its significance needs further evaluation. Surgeons could use this knowledge to preoperatively assess the risk of cup malposition and adjust their technique during the THA procedure with probable improvement of hip function.

Abstract
Background AR HIP Navigation System® (AR-navi; Zimmer-Biomet, Warsaw, IN) is a portable navigation system employing augmented reality via a smartphone app, which was developed in Japan. We retrospectively analyzed the accuracy of cup placement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) using AR-navi, to investigate whether obesity is associated with an absolute value error in cup placement angle. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 45 hips in 43 patients who underwent THA using AR-navi (AR-navi group) and compared them with 45 hips in 45 patients who underwent THA using alignment rods (conventional group). Results The mean absolute error of cup placement (AR-navi group vs. conventional group) was found to be 2.60° (±2.11) in radiographic inclination (RI) for the AR-navi group and 4.61° (±3.28) for the conventional group, which indicates significant difference in the AR-navi group compared to that in the conventional group (p = 0.0036). The mean absolute error of radiographic anteversion (RA) was 3.57° (±3.36) for the AR-navi group and 3.87° (±2.97) for the conventional group (p = 0.4732). The mean absolute error of RI was 2.36° (±2.24) in the obese group and 3.16° (±2.03) in the nonobese group, and the mean absolute error of RA was 4.08° (±4.51) and 3.16° (±2.05) in the obese and nonobese groups, respectively. Conclusions Cup placement accuracy for THA using AR-navi was 2.60 ± 2.11° for RI and 3.87 ± 2.97° for RA. Compared to THA using the conventional method, the RI installation error was significantly improved with AR Navi. There was no significant difference in the mean absolute error of RI and RA among the obese and nonobese groups.

J Orthop Res 2023; 41:2516-2529. [PMID: 37132499 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
There is great difficulty in quickly calculating the impingement-free range of motion (IFROM) of hip components with complex shapes after total hip arthroplasty. We have established a new algorithm to investigate the effect of different shapes of hip components on the IFROM and impingement-free safe zone (IFSZ). Then find the best combination of hip prosthesis and the optimal mounting position of the elevated-rim liner under different radiographic anteversion (RA) and radiographic inclination (RI) of the cup. We found the larger the opening angle of the beveled-rim liner and the smaller the cross-sectional area of the stem neck with an inverted teardrop cross-sectional shape, the greater the IFROM of the hip component. The beveled-rim liner in combination with the stem neck with an inverted teardrop-shaped cross-section could provide the greatest IFSZ (excluding the flat-rim liner). The optimal orientation of the elevated-rim liner was the posterior-inferior side (RI ≤ 37°), posterior-superior side (RI ≥ 45°), and posterior side (37° ≤ RI ≤ 45°). Our novel algorithm provides a solution to analyze the IFROM of any hip prosthesis with any complex shape. The shape and size of the cross-section of the stem neck, the orientation of the elevated rim, and the shape and opening angle of the liner are all critical factors for the quantitative calculation of the IFROM and mounting safe zone of the prosthesis. Stem necks with inverted teardrop cross-section and beveled-rim liner improved the IFSZ. The optimal direction of the elevated rim is not constant but varies with RI and RA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Augmented reality (AR) provides the surgeon with direct visualization of radiological images by overlaying them on the patient. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of cup placement using a computed tomography (CT)-based AR navigation system. METHODS Sixty-five prospectively enrolled patients underwent primary cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a supine position using this novel AR navigation system, and changes in pelvic flexion angle (PFA) were evaluated. Absolute navigation errors were defined as the absolute differences between angles in the intraoperative navigation record and those measured on postoperative CT. Factors affecting the absolute navigation error in cup alignment were determined. RESULTS Mean absolute change in PFA between preoperative CT and reduction was 2.1° ± 1.6°. Mean absolute navigation errors were 2.5° ± 1.7° in radiographic inclination (RI) and 2.5° ± 2.2° in radiographic anteversion (RA). While no factors significantly affecting absolute navigation error were found for RI, absolute change in PFA between preoperative CT and reduction correlated significantly with the absolute navigation error for RA. CONCLUSION This CT-based navigation system with AR enabled surgeons to place the cup more accurately than was possible by freehand placement during THA in a supine position.

Image-Less THA Cup Navigation in Clinical Routine Setup: Individual Adjustments, Accuracy, Precision, and Robustness. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58060832. [PMID: 35744095 PMCID: PMC9227241 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58060832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Even after the ‘death’ of Lewinnek’s safe zone, the orientation of the prosthetic cup in total hip arthroplasty is crucial for success. Accurate cup placement can be achieved with surgical navigation systems. The literature lacks study cohorts with large numbers of hips because postoperative computer tomography is required for the reproducible evaluation of the acetabular component position. To overcome this limitation, we used a validated software program, HipMatch, to accurately assess the cup orientation based on an anterior-posterior pelvic X-ray. The aim of this study were to (1) determine the intraoperative ‘individual adjustment’ of the cup positioning compared to the widely suggested target values of 40° of inclination and 15° of anteversion, and evaluate the (2) ‘accuracy’, (3) ‘precision’, and (4) robustness, regarding systematic errors, of an image-free navigation system in routine clinical use. Material and Methods: We performed a retrospective, accuracy study in a single surgeon case series of 367 navigated primary total hip arthroplasties (PiGalileoTM, Smith+Nephew) through an anterolateral approach performed between January 2011 and August 2018. The individual adjustments were defined as the differences between the target cup orientation (40° of inclination, 15° of anteversion) and the intraoperative registration with the navigation software. The accuracy was the difference between the intraoperative captured cup orientation and the actual postoperative cup orientation determined by HipMatch. The precision was analyzed by the standard deviation of the difference between the intraoperative registered and the actual cup orientation. The outliers were detected using the Tukey method. Results: Compared to the target value (40° inclination, 15° anteversion), the individual adjustments showed that the cups are impacted in higher inclination (mean 3.2° ± 1.6°, range, (−2)−18°) and higher anteversion (mean 5.0° ± 7.0°, range, (−15)−23°) (p < 0.001). The accuracy of the navigated cup placement was −1.7° ± 3.0°, ((−15)−11°) for inclination, and −4.9° ± 6.2° ((−28)−18°) for anteversion (p < 0.001). Precision of the system was higher for inclination (standard deviation SD 3.0°) compared to anteversion (SD 6.2°) (p < 0.001). We found no difference in the prevalence of outliers for inclination (1.9% (7 out of 367)) compared to anteversion (1.63% (6 out of 367), p = 0.78). The Bland-Altman analysis showed that the differences between the intraoperatively captured final position and the postoperatively determined actual position were spread evenly and randomly for inclination and anteversion. Conclusion: The evaluation of an image-less navigation system in this large study cohort provides accurate and reliable intraoperative feedback. The accuracy and the precision were inferior compared to CT-based navigation systems particularly regarding the anteversion. However the assessed values are certainly within a clinically acceptable range. This use of image-less navigation offers an additional tool to address challenging hip prothesis in the context of the hip−spine relationship to achieve adequate placement of the acetabular components with a minimum of outliers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the accuracy of acetabular cup insertion using a novel accelerometer-based navigation system in total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS A single-surgeon study was conducted in which 62 prospective patients with navigation and 42 retrospective patients without navigation in a supine position were compared. Absolute values for errors of radiographic inclination and anteversion were calculated. Navigation error was also calculated. Factors that affected absolute value of navigation error in cup alignment were determined. RESULTS In the navigation group, mean absolute errors for radiographic inclination and anteversion were 4.1° and 4.3°, respectively. In the control group, mean absolute errors were 6.6° in inclination (p < 0.01) and 5.9° in anteversion (p = 0.04). Mean absolute values of navigation error were 2.8° in inclination and 2.8°in anteversion. Factors affecting navigation errors were not found. CONCLUSION This novel accelerometer-based navigation system significantly increased the accuracy of cup placement during THA in the supine position.
