Hecht CJ, Nedder VJ, Porto JR, Morgan KA, Kamath AF. Are robotic-assisted and computer-navigated total hip arthroplasty associated with superior outcomes in patients who have hip dysplasia? J Orthop 2024; 53:125-132. [PMID: 38515529 PMCID: PMC10950562 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2024.03.004] [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: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Robotic-assisted (RA) and computer-navigated (CN) total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been demonstrated to improve component placement accuracy compared to manual THA (mTHA) for primary osteoarthritis. As hip dysplasia presents several additional challenges in component placement accuracy and leg length discrepancy (LLD) correction during THA, a systematic review was conducted to evaluate whether utilizing these platforms may be associated with superior outcomes over mTHA in patients who have hip dysplasia. Methods PubMed, Medline, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar were searched on September 13, 2023 to identify comparative studies published after January 1, 2000 that evaluated outcomes of RA-THA or CN-THA in patients who have hip dysplasia. The query yielded 197 unique articles, which were screened for alignment with the study aims. After screening, 10 studies fulfilled all inclusion criteria, comprising 946 patients. Risk of bias was evaluated via the Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies tool, and the mean score was 21.2 ± 1.5. Results Both RA-THA and CN-THA were not associated with improved acetabular anteversion and inclination when evaluating Crowe I-IV types altogether compared to mTHA, but studies reported improved accuracy for each Crowe I and II cases when assessed individually. While studies reporting acetabular cup placement within the Lewinnek and Callanan safe zones consistently found higher odds of accurate positioning for RA-THA versus mTHA, accuracy in achieving targeted center of rotation was mixed. Also, studies reported no difference in LLD restoration for RA-THA and CN-THA compared to mTHA. While operative time may be increased when utilizing these platforms, they may also expedite specific sequences, offsetting most of the increase in operative time. Conclusion This review highlights the advantages of RA-THA and CN-THA for patients who have DDH, particularly when treating Crowe I and II types as superior radiographic outcomes were achieved with these intraoperative technologies. However, there remains a need for studies to investigate whether this results in patient-reported outcome measures.

[PMID: 38358516 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-024-06115-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSES Due to the morphological diversity of deformities, technical difficulties, improperly designed components, and so on, THA remains a challenging task in dysplastic hips, especially in highly dislocated hips. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively evaluate the clinical outcomes of robot-assisted THA in patients with DDH through a large cohort study, including the precision of acetabular cup positioning, indicators of inflammatory response, indicators of muscle damage, and complications. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients with DDH who underwent THA in our prospectively constructed joint registry between August 2018 and August 2022. Finally, 147 manual THAs and 147 robotic-assisted THAs were included in the final analysis. Patient demographics, indicators of inflammation, indicators of muscle damage, operative time, Harris hip scores (HHS), and forgotten joint score (FJS) were recorded for analysis. The precision of the positioning of the acetabular component was assessed with plain radiographs. RESULTS In the Crowe II/III groups, the reconstructed center of rotation (COR) in the robotic-assisted group was closer to the anatomical COR with less variation than the manual group (absolute horizontal distances of COR 3.5 ± 2.8 vs. 5.4 ± 4.9 mm, p < 0.05; absolute vertical distances of COR 6.4 ± 4.1 vs. 11.7 ± 8.2 mm, p = 0.001). For all Crowe subtypes, the robotic-assisted THA significantly increased the proportion of acetabular cups located in the safety zone within 5° (all p < 0.05). Interleukin-6 and creatine kinase levels were slightly lower and significantly different in the robotic-assisted group at three days postoperatively (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Compared to the manual technique, the robot-assisted technique improved the precision and reproducibility of acetabular component positioning, particularly in DDH patients with Crowe types II/III. The robotic-assisted technique did not increase operative time, bleeding, complications, or revision rates, and had a slighter early inflammatory response and muscle damage.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a widely practiced surgical intervention to alleviate pain and reinstate functionality in individuals afflicted with hip joint pathology. The positioning of the acetabulum assumes paramount significance in determining the efficacy of THA, exerting profound influences on biomechanical dynamics, stability, and the durability of outcomes over time. This comprehensive review meticulously evaluates contemporary methodologies for optimizing acetabular positioning in THA, encompassing advanced technologies such as computer-assisted navigation systems, patient-specific instrumentation, robotic-assisted surgical approaches, image-based planning techniques, and intraoperative fluoroscopy. Crucially, key discoveries underscore the pivotal role of precise acetabular alignment in mitigating complications such as dislocation, component wear, and impingement. Moreover, the implications for clinical practice accentuate the imperative of continuous education and training to ensure effective deployment of sophisticated methodologies. Recommendations for furthering research and enhancing practice development underscore the necessity of scrutinizing long-term prognoses, assessing cost-effectiveness, and embracing technological innovations perpetually refining THA outcomes. Collaborative endeavors among researchers, practitioners, and industry stakeholders emerge as indispensable drivers of advancement in this domain, fostering an environment conducive to elevating the standard of care for individuals undergoing THA.

Abstract
Adult hip dysplasia provides many challenges for joint surgeons. Due to the abnormal bone morphology and altered biomechanics of the hip, surgeons must ensure accurate implant positioning to avoid postoperative complications. We present a 56-year-old female with a history of bilateral Legg-Calve-Perthes disease and subsequent dysplasia who underwent bilateral total hip arthroplasty using robotic navigation. We highlight the utility of robotic navigation in adult hip dysplasia to improve implant positioning and ensure optimal patient outcomes.

Chen P, Liu W, Wu C, Ruan P, Zeng J, Ji W. Fluoroscopy-guided direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty provides more accurate component positions in the supine position than in the lateral position. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:884. [PMID: 37957622 PMCID: PMC10644644 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-07014-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The position of the acetabular and femoral components is critical for stability and wear resistance. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the fluoroscopy-guided direct anterior approach in the supine position (S-DAA) is more helpful in improving the position of acetabular and femoral components than the fluoroscopy-guided direct anterior approach in the lateral decubitus position (L-DAA). METHODS A retrospective analysis of 76 cases of fluoroscopy-guided direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (38 cases in the S-DAA and 38 cases in the L-DAA group) was performed in one hospital from 2019 to 2021. The differences in inclination, anteversion, femoral offset (FO), global offset (GO), and leg length discrepancy (LLD) measurements during and after surgery were analyzed. The postoperative femoral offset (FO), global offset (GO), leg length discrepancy (LLD), and preoperative and postoperative Harris hip score were compared between the two groups. RESULTS In the S-DAA group, there were no significant differences in the mean intraoperative inclination angle anteversion angle, FO, GO, and LLD compared to the postoperative values, whereas in the L-DAA group, there were significant differences between the intraoperative and postoperative measurements (P < 0.001, P = 0.009, P<0.001, P<0.001 and P = 0.008, respectively). Additionally, there were significant differences in the accuracy of LLD, FO, and GO between the two groups (P < 0.001). Compared with the L-DAA group, the average differences of inclination, anteversion, LLD, FO, and GO during and after operation in the S-DAA group were smaller, and the consistency was higher. There was a significant difference in Harris hip score between the two groups at 1 week after surgery (P = 0.033). There was no significant difference in Harris hip score between 1 month and 3 months after surgery (P = 0.482 and P = 0.797, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In the supine group, the direct anterior approach (DAA) provides more accurate positioning of the acetabular and femoral components. However, there was no significant difference in hip joint function and activity between the two groups at follow-up.
