[PMID: 38084832 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25769] [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: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
To avoid dislocation after total hip arthroplasty, it is desirable to avoid implant impingement during activities of daily living. Numerous simulation studies have been performed at 30° of internal rotation (IR) with 90° of flexion. However, these studies may not reflect the impingement that occurs during activities such as floor sitting, which require a larger IR during flexion. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of varying IR angles during flexion on the impingement-free safe zone and optimal stem anteversion. In this study, implant impingement simulation was evaluated in computer simulation. The prosthesis used a flat liner, and a 32- or 40-mm femoral head and stem. Three patterns of required IR angle (30° IR/40° IR/50° IR with 90° flexion) combined with 13 directions of the required range of motion were simulated. The optimal stem anteversion to maximize the safe zone was analyzed. Increasing the required IR at 90° flexion decreased the safe zone, particularly with small stem anteversion angles. With a 32-mm head, the desirable stem anteversion at 40° of cup inclination was 15°/25°/35° in required 30° IR/40° IR/50° IR with 90° flexion, respectively. The safe zone area of the 32-mm head was smaller than that of the 40-mm head. For patients who require a larger IR with 90° flexion, the stem and cup target anteversion should be adjusted according to the implant design, head diameter, and patient's required IR at flexion in their lifestyle.

Abstract
The hip capsule is a ligamentous structure that contributes to hip stability. This article developed specimen-specific finite element models that replicated internal-external (I-E) laxity for ten implanted hip capsules. Capsule properties were calibrated to minimize root mean square error (RMSE) between model and experimental torques. RMSE across specimens was 1.02 ± 0.21 Nm for I-E laxity and 0.78 ± 0.33 Nm and 1.10 ± 0.48 Nm during anterior and posterior dislocation, respectively. RMSE for the same models with average capsule properties was 2.39 ± 0.68 Nm. Specimen-specific models demonstrated the importance of capsule tensioning in hip stability and have relevance for surgical planning and evaluation of implant designs.

J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:433-440.e4. [PMID: 37572725 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.08.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) can improve sexual satisfaction, but fear of dislocation can lead to sexual difficulties following this procedure. Previous kinematic research identified 4 sexual positions in women and 2 in men that were considered at risk for impingement. This study aimed to validate these findings using current robotic THA simulations. METHODS The 3-dimensional renderings from 12 patients who received computed tomography (CT)-based robotic THA were used to assess for prosthetic and/or bony impingement among 12 popular sexual positions. There were 9 cup orientations tested for each position (a combination of anteversion [0 °, 15 °, and 30 °] and inclination [40 °, 45 °, and 60 °]). The at-risk positions were tested again using the unique hip positions and cup orientations where previous geometric modeling data found impingement to occur. RESULTS Using mean hip positions, impingement occurred in at least 1 patient in 1 of the 12 positions for women (position 5) and 5 of the 12 positions for men (positions 1, 5, 8, 10, and 11). Among the at-risk positions, impingement occurred in none of the 2 at-risk women positions (0 of 17 cup orientations) and in both at-risk men positions (9 of 9 cup orientations for position 8 and 1 of 1 for position 11). CONCLUSION Recreating popular and at-risk sexual positions following THA with a CT-based robotics system yielded results that were inconsistent with previous geometric modeling data. Resolving these discrepancies is crucial for surgeons to provide accurate postoperative patient education. The CT-based robotic systems may provide necessary input to feasibly individualize such recommendations, but current limitations in CT-based robotics require continued attention and innovation.

Shao H, Huang Y, Yang D, Deng W, Wu XD, Zhou Y. Variety of femoral anteversion and its measurement in cementless total hip arthroplasty: Does robotic technology improve accuracy? J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:47. [PMID: 38195511 PMCID: PMC10775668 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04527-z] [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: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 01/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND High-performance total hip arthroplasty (THA) depends on the accurate position of components. However, femoral anteversion is variable, and current studies only used traditional instruments to evaluate it, such as protractor and spirit level with limited cases. This study aimed to identify the variability in the measured femoral native anteversion and intraoperative stem anteversion under different measurement methods, including intraoperative robotic method. We hypothesized that robotic technology was more accurate than traditional instruments for femoral anteversion evaluation. METHODS This study included 117 hips of patients who underwent robotic-assisted THA between November 2019 and March 2021. Preoperative native femoral anteversion was measured using a robotic system. Intraoperative femoral stem anteversion was evaluated visually, and then measured with a goniometer and a robotic system, respectively. Variability in the measured femoral native anteversion and intraoperative femoral stem anteversion was calculated and compared. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Pearson correlation analysis were used to assess the consistency and correlation of anteversion of different measurements and postoperative CT-measured stem anteversion, respectively. RESULTS The result of measurement for preoperative native femoral anteversion was more variable than the intraoperative robotic-measured stem anteversion. Intraoperative robotic-measured stem version showed the highest correlation with postoperative CT measurement of stem version (r = 0.806, P < 0.001), while intraoperative surgeon estimation had the lowest correlation coefficient (r = 0.281, P = 0.025). As for the consistency with postoperative CT measurement of femoral stem anteversion, the intraoperative robotic-measured femoral stem version also had the highest value (ICC = 0.892, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Native femoral anteversion was variable preoperatively. Using cementless stems, anteversion was also highly variable. Robotic assessment for stem anteversion during surgery was more consistent with the final position than the preoperative assessment and conventional intraoperative estimation.

Abstract
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common and successful surgical interventions. The survivorship at 10 years for the most commonly used systems is over 95%. However, the incidence of revision is usually much higher in the 0-1 year time period following the intervention. The most common reason for revision in this early time period is dislocation and subluxation, which may be defined as complete or permanent, and partial or temporary loss of contact between the bearing surfaces respectively. This study comprises the development of a geometric model of bone and an in situ total hip replacement, to predict the occurrence and location of bone and component impingement for a wide range of acetabular cup positions and for a series of frequently practiced activities of daily living. The model developed predicts that anterior-superior component impingement is associated with activities that result in posterior dislocation. The incidence may be reduced by increased cup anteversion and inclination. Posterior-inferior component impingement is associated with anterior dislocation activities. Its incidence may be reduced by decreased cup anteversion and inclination. A component impingement-free range was identified, running from when the cup was positioned with 45° inclination and 25° anteversion to 70° inclination and 15°-20° anteversion.

Clin Orthop Relat Res 2020; 478:1904-1918.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lewinnek's recommendation for orienting the cup in THA is criticized because it involves a static assessment of the safe zone and because it does not consider stem geometry. A revised concept of the safe zone should consider those factors, but to our knowledge, this has not been assessed. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) To determine the shape, size, and location of target zones for combined cup and stem orientation for a straight stem/hemispheric cup THA to maximize the impingement-free ROM and (2) To determine whether and how these implant positions change as stem anteversion, neck-shaft angle, prosthetic head size and target range of movements are varied. METHODS A three-dimensional computer-assisted design model, in which design geometry was expressed in terms of parameters, of a straight stem/hemispheric cup hip prosthesis was designed, its design parameters modified systematically, and each prosthesis model was implanted virtually at predefined component orientations. Functional component orientation referencing to body planes was used: cups were abducted from 20° to 70°, and anteverted from -10° to 40°. Stems were rotated from -10° to 40° anteversion, neck-shaft angles varied from 115° to 143°, and head sizes varied from 28 to 40 mm. Hip movements up to the point of prosthetic impingement were tested, including simple flexion/extension, internal/external rotation, ab/adduction, combinations of these, and activities of daily living that were known to trigger dislocation. For each combination of parameters, the impingement-free combined target zone was determined. Maximizing the size of the combined target zone was the optimization criterion. RESULTS The combined target zones for impingement-free cup orientation had polygonal boundaries. Their size and position in the diagram changed with stem anteversion, neck-shaft angle, head size, and target ROM. The largest target zones were at neck-shaft angles from 125° to 127°, at stem anteversions from 10° to 20°, and at radiographic cup anteversions between 17° and 25°. Cup anteversion and stem anteversion were inverse-linearly correlated supporting the combined-anteversion concept. The range of impingement-free cup inclinations depended on head size, stem anteversion, and neck-shaft angle. For a 127°-neck-shaft angle, the lowest cup inclinations that fell within the target zone were 42° for the 28-mm and 35° for the 40-mm head. Cup anteversion and combined version depended on neck-shaft angle. For head size 32-mm cup, anteversion was 6° for a 115° neck-shaft angle and 25° for a 135°-neck-shaft angle, and combined version was 15° and 34° respectively. CONCLUSIONS The shape, size, and location of the combined target zones were dependent on design and implantation parameters of both components. Changing the prosthesis design or changing implantation parameters also changed the combined target zone. A maximized combined target zone was found. It is mandatory to consider both components to determine the accurate impingement-free prosthetic ROM in THA. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study accurately defines the hypothetical impingement-free, design-specific component orientation in THA. Transforming it into clinical precision may be the case for navigation and/or robotics, but this is speculative, and as of now, unproven.

New combined anteversion technique in hybrid THA: cup-first procedure with CT-based navigation. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2019; 30:465-472.

Abstract
PURPOSE Combined anteversion (CA) technique (stem-first procedure) is generally accepted as the optimal technique to attain an appropriate CA value in total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, cup anteversion is strongly influenced by the native femoral anteversion. Accordingly, anterior protrusion of the cup in the acetabulum might occur. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the achievement of the optimal CA while avoiding anterior cup protrusion and examine the significance of our new CA technique with cup-first procedure in hybrid THA. METHODS Seventy-nine hybrid THAs with the cup-first procedure used a CT-based navigation system for cup positioning. In the preoperative planning, cup anteversion was aimed at approximately 20°. However, in actuality, sufficient cup coverage in the original acetabulum based on individual anatomy is given priority over cup placement based on CT-based planning to ensure adequate cup coverage. The target stem anteversion was determined following Widmer's mathematical formula (37.3 = femoral stem anteversion × 0.7 + cup anteversion). Cemented stem was inserted according to the target stem anteversion angle. RESULTS Regarding the assessment of overall alignment, the calculated Widmer's CA values during surgery and postoperative CT evaluation were 34.1° ± 6.0° (range 20.7°-51.2°) and 35.1° ± 6.7° (range 21.6°-50.7°). There were 72 hips (91.1%) within 25°-50° of CA. Cup protrusion length averaged 2.0 mm ± 2.6 mm (0-8.8 mm) in the axial view and 0.4 mm ± 1.0 mm (0-3.6 mm) in the sagittal view. Cup protrusion length of more than 5 mm was indicated in 10 hips, and no hips observed more than 10 mm. CONCLUSION Our new CA technique (cup-first procedure) with hybrid THA was able to achieve optimal CA value while avoiding anterior cup protrusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dislocation is a major complication following total hip arthroplasty, with risk factors such as surgical technique, implant positioning, and implant design. Literature has suggested the distance the femoral head must travel before dislocation to be a predictive factor of dislocation where smaller travel distance has increased dislocation risk. The purpose of this study was to compare 3 designs (hemispherical, metal-on-metal, and dual mobility [DM]) in terms of the dynamic dislocation distance and force required to dislocate. METHODS This dynamic dislocation distance model used a material testing system that defined acetabular component inclination (30°, 45°, and 60°), anteversion angles (0°, 15°, and 30°), and pelvic tilt (5° [standing] and 26° [chair rise]). Testing groups included a hemispherical shell with a modular polyethylene liner and 32-mm head, a metal-on-metal hip resurfacing cup design with a 40-mm CoCr head, and a DM design with a 42-mm outside diameter articulating liner and an inner 28-mm articulating head. RESULTS The dynamic dislocation distance of the DM hip was greater than that of the other designs for all inclination, anteversion, and pelvic tilt angles tested with the exception of 60° inclination/0° anteversion. At 26° pelvic tilt, it was observed that dislocation distance increased with greater anteversion and decreased with larger inclination. CONCLUSION Clinical results have shown the DM design may reduce dislocation. These data support those findings and suggest that if instability is a concern preoperatively or intraoperatively, using a DM implant increases the dynamic dislocation distance.

Abstract
Optimization of the combined anteversion of cup and stem has been emphasized to avoid prosthetic impingement in total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, no study has focused on the impact of variations in sagittal and coronal stem tilt against the whole femur on prosthetic range of motion. The purposes of the present study were a) to quantify the anatomical variation of sagittal and coronal tilt of the proximal canal axis against the femoral retrocondylar coordinate system, that is variation of sagittal and coronal stem tilt and b) to determine their impact on the zone of impingement-free cup position using computer simulation. Preoperative computed tomography images of 477 femurs from 409 consecutive patients who underwent THA using computed tomography-based computer navigation were stored. Virtual implantation of an anatomical stem was performed on the navigation workstation. The safe zone of the cup position with regard to prosthetic impingement was determined by motion simulation in the range of sagittal and coronal stem tilt of the subjects. The sagittal and coronal stem tilt varied by 10°, which was smaller than the stem anteversion variation. However, there was about 3 times the difference in the impingement-free zone of cup position in the ranges of sagittal and coronal stem tilt. The safe zone was significantly decreased by posterior tilt and valgus tilt of the stem. Range of motion simulation revealed that the variations in sagittal or coronal stem tilt significantly influenced the safe zone of the cup. In conclusion, although the variations in sagittal and coronal stem tilt against the femoral retrocondylar coordinate system were small, their impact on prosthetic impingement was significant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is little description of the effect of cup position on the hip range of motion in total hip arthroplasty. The purpose is to evaluate the effect of cup medialization/lateralization with a compensatory increase/decrease in femoral offset on the hip range of motion, and whether the bone morphology of the anterior inferior iliac spine affects hip range of motion in total hip arthroplasty. METHODS Using the CT data of 100 patients (male; 30, female; 70), 3D-dynamic motion analysis was performed in four scenarios with cup medialization/lateralization with the same/decreased global offset. We calculated the range of motion before component impingement and bony impingement in flexion, internal rotation and external rotation using the software. Furthermore, we measured bony morphological features of anterior inferior iliac spine, and we analyzed the correlations among them. FINDINGS We found that the cup medialization with the same stem offset had negative effects on hip range of motion in flexion and internal rotation due to bony impingement, whereas cup medialization caused external rotation to significantly decrease with the same global offset. On the other hand, cup lateralization with the same global offset had negative effects on flexion and internal rotation, whereas external rotation increased. Furthermore, there were negative correlations among flexion and laterally large and steep anterior inferior iliac spine. INTERPRETATION Our results demonstrated that the advantage of cup medialization can depend on the individual anatomy such as bony morphology of anterior inferior iliac spine in flexion.

Restoring femoral offset is the most important technical factor in preventing total hip arthroplasty dislocation. J Orthop 2018; 15:131-133. [PMID: 29657456 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2018.01.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2017] [Accepted: 01/14/2018] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Our aim was to determine if acetabular component position, femoral offset restoration, or leg-length equality is most important for total hip arthroplasty (THA) stability. Methods A matched case (n = 67)-control (n = 247) design and conditional logistic regression model were used to examine risk factors for dislocation in primary THA. Results When femoral offset was at least 3 mm greater than that of the contralateral hip, risk of dislocation was lower (p = 0.0192). Neither leg-length difference nor acetabular component abduction or version angle was associated with dislocation. Conclusions Our data suggest restoring femoral offset is the most important technical factor in preventing THA dislocation.

Abstract
Biomechanics of the hip joint describes how the complex combination of osseous, ligamentous, and muscular structures transfers the weight of the body from the axial skeleton into the appendicular skeleton of the lower limbs. Throughout history, several biomechanical studies based on theoretical mathematics, in vitro, in vivo as well as in silico models have been successfully performed. The insights gained from these studies have improved our understanding of the development of mechanical hip pathologies such as osteoarthritis, hip fractures, and developmental dysplasia of the hip. The main treatment of end-stage degeneration of the hip is total hip arthroplasty (THA). The increasing number of patients undergoing this surgical procedure, as well as their demand for more than just pain relief and leading an active lifestyle, has challenged surgeons and implant manufacturers to deliver higher function as well as longevity with the prosthesis. The science of biomechanics has played and will continue to play a crucial and integral role in achieving these goals. The aim of this article, therefore, is to present to the readers the key concepts in biomechanics of the hip and their application to THA.

Abstract
In total hip arthroplasty (THA), the accurate positioning of implants is the key to achieve a good clinical outcome. Computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS) has been developed for more accurate positioning of implants during the THA. There are passive, semi-active, and active systems in CAOS for THA. Navigation is a passive system that only provides information and guidance to the surgeon. There are 3 types of navigation: imageless navigation, computed tomography (CT)-based navigation, and fluoroscopy-based navigation. In imageless navigation system, a new method of registration without the need to register the anterior pelvic plane was introduced. CT-based navigation can be efficiently used for pelvic plane reference, the functional pelvic plane in supine which adjusts anterior pelvic plane sagittal tilt for targeting the cup orientation. Robot-assisted system can be either active or semi-active. The active robotic system performs the preparation for implant positioning as programmed preoperatively. It has been used for only femoral implant cavity preparation. Recently, program for cup positioning was additionally developed. Alternatively, for ease of surgeon acceptance, semi-active robot systems are developed. It was initially applied only for cup positioning. However, with the development of enhanced femoral workflows, this system can now be used to position both cup and stem. Though there have been substantial advancements in computer-assisted THA, its use can still be controversial at present due to the steep learning curve, intraoperative technical issues, high cost and etc. However, in the future, CAOS will certainly enable the surgeon to operate more accurately and lead to improved outcomes in THA as the technology continues to evolve rapidly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive surgical approaches are widely used for total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, potential problems related to a reduced visual field during surgery, such as implant malposition, neurovascular injury, and poor implant fixation, have been reported. In these situations, a shorter stem is easier to insert in the femoral canal. To evaluate the accuracy of shorter stem orientation, we focused on the accuracy of stem orientation especially in short tapered wedge stems and evaluated the contribution factors of stem malalignment during mini-invasive total hip arthroplasty. METHODS One hundred ten hips that underwent THA with a Summit stem (58 hips) (DePuy, Warsaw, IN) as straight stem and TriLock stem (52 hips) (DePuy) as tapered wedge stem were enrolled in this study. For preoperative and postoperative evaluation, a CT scan of the pelvis and knee joint was obtained and was transferred to 3D template software. We compared the alignment of preoperative plan for stem anteversion/valgus/anterior tilt angles and postoperative stem alignment, and the absolute error was defined as the surgical error. To clarify the factors contributing to the malalignment or surgical error, we evaluated postoperative stem alignment and several associated factors. Further, we compared the clinical parameters between two types of stems for analysis of the influence of stem type differences. RESULTS The mean absolute value of the alignment error (postoperative stem alignment-preoperative planning alignment) was not changed in the short tapered wedge and straight stems. Sex, age at operation, or original canal anteversion did not affect the accuracy of stem alignment. However, high body mass index (BMI) affected the accuracy of stem alignment. Clinical outcomes were not changed by the difference of stem types. CONCLUSION The postoperative alignment of short tapered wedge stem was accurate, same as the straight stem during mini-invasive THA, but we need to pay attention when using this in obese patients.

Anterior dislocation after total hip replacement - effects of pelvic rotation and femoral head size. Hip Int 2014; 23:386-90.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of pelvic rotation and femoral head diameter on the anterior stability of the hip joint after total hip replacement. Computer navigation and cadaveric bone were used to simulate the range of motion after total hip replacement. The hip was put at 0 degrees of flexion and it was gradually externally rotated until the hip dislocated. The degree of external rotation when the hip was dislocated was recorded. The test was repeated with the hip at +10, -10, -20, -30, -40 and -50 degrees of flexion. The acetabular component was positioned with abduction of 45 degrees and anteversion at 20 degrees. There was a significant difference amongst each group of pelvic rotation from 0 to -50 degrees in the degree of external rotation when the hip was dislocated. The degree became insignificant when pelvic rotation was increased from 0 to 10 degrees. From -10 to -50 degree of pelvic rotation, 36mm head had significant better stability compared with 32mm and 28mm femoral heads. The presence of significant pelvic sagittal malrotation can increase the risk of anterior dislocation. A larger femoral head is more stable than smaller heads. When pelvic sagittal malrotation is not present, there is no difference in stability between large and small femoral heads.

Abstract
PURPOSE Stem version is not always equivalent to femoral neck version (native version) in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). We therefore examined the discrepancy of version between the native femoral neck and stem using pre- and postoperative computed tomography (CT), the level of the femur where the canal version most closely fit the stem version, and the factors influencing version discrepancy between the native femoral neck and stem. METHODS A total of 122 hips in 122 patients who underwent primary THA using a metaphyseal-fit stem through the postero-lateral approach were included. Pre- and postoperative CT images were utilized to measure native and stem version, and the version of the femoral canal at four levels relative to the lesser trochanter. RESULTS The mean native and stem versions were 28.1 ± 11.0° and 38.0 ± 11.2°, respectively, revealing increased stem version with a mean difference of 9.8° (p < 0.0001). A total of 84 hips (68.9 %) revealed an increase in version greater than 5°. Femoral canal version at the level of the lesser trochanter most closely approximated that of stem version. Among the factors analysed, both univariate and multivariate analysis showed that greater degrees of native version and anterior stem tilt significantly reduced the version discrepancy between the native femoral neck and stem version. CONCLUSIONS Since a cementless stem has little version adjustability in the femoral canal, these findings are useful for surgeons in preoperative planning and to achieve proper component placement in THA.

Abstract
To examine the accuracy of intraoperative estimation of stem anteversion in total hip arthroplasty (THA), we compared the intraoperatively estimated stem anteversion (estimated prosthetic anteversion) to stem anteversion measured by postoperative computed tomography (true anteversion) in 73 hips in 73 patients. Estimated prosthetic anteversion was significantly greater than true anteversion by 5.8°, and the mean absolute value of surgeon error was 7.3° ranging from 11° underestimation to 25° overestimation. Surgeons tended to overestimate when the true anteversion was smaller. A multivariate analysis showed that advanced knee osteoarthritis significantly increased surgeon error. These results indicated that estimated prosthetic anteversion was generally larger than true anteversion and that the grade of knee osteoarthritis affected the degree of surgeon error.

Abstract
We identified and compared the impingent-free range of motion (ROM) and subluxation potential for native hip, femoral head resurfacing (FHR), and total hip arthroplasty (THA). These constructs were also compared both with and without soft tissue to elucidate the role of the soft tissue. Five fresh-frozen bilateral hip specimens were mounted to a six-degree of freedom robotic manipulator. Under load-control parameters, in vivo mechanics were recreated to evaluate impingement free ROM, and the subluxation potential in two "at risk" positions for native hip, FHR, and THA. Impingement-free ROM of the skeletonized THA was greater than FHR for the anterior subluxation position. For skeletonized posterior subluxations, stability for THA and FHR constructs were similar, while a different pattern was observed for specimens with soft tissues intact. FHR constructs were more stable than THA constructs for both anterior and posterior subluxations. When the femoral neck is intact the joint has an earlier impingement profile placing the hip at risk for subluxation. However, FHR design was shown to be more stable than THA only when soft tissues were intact.

Abstract
In total hip arthroplasty (THA), combined anteversion (CA), the sum of cup anteversion (AV) and stem antetorsion (AT) are used as parameters to assess the appropriateness of overall prosthetic alignment. In this study, we evaluated the CA value based on the post-operative computed tomography (CT) measurements in our patient population who underwent THA using the OrthoPilot™ image-free navigation system (B/BRAUN-Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany). During surgery, cup alignment was adjusted with the use of the navigation system while the positioning of the femoral stem was arbitrarily adjusted by the surgeon. Seventy-nine THAs were included in the study. Post-operative CT assessment for the prosthetic alignment showed the average cup inclination and AV values to be 40.5°±4.1° and 20.6°±4.6°, respectively, demonstrating the effectiveness of the navigation system by small values of standard deviation. By contrast, the AT value measured for the stem showed wide variability (mean 23.6°±11.2°). Consequently, the resulting CA was also inconsistent (mean 44.4°±11.2°) and only 61 of the 79 THAs (77.2%) were defined as satisfactory.

Abstract
The management and quantification of bone loss is a major challenge in primary and revision total hip replacement. Defining the normal three-dimensional (3D) anatomy of the acetabular vault could aid in assessing pathologic changes and in designing prosthetic joint components. We performed a quantitative assessment of normal 3D acetabular vault structure to define the shape and location of weight-bearing acetabular bone referred to as the vault. Images from 70 normal hip computed tomography images were used to define the 3D acetabular vault anatomy and develop a 3D model. Variation in vault shape was quantified by measuring the distance between every surface point on a subject's hemipelvis and the reference vault. Variation among different hip alignments was assessed using 19 scans from subjects with varus, valgus and dysplastic hip morphologies. The acetabular vault model had 96.6% (95% CI: 91.7-101.5), 97.8% (95% CI: 94.5-101.1) and 96.4% (95% CI: 98.7-94.1) of the surface points within 3 mm of normal male, normal female and abnormal hip specimens, respectively. Comparison of acetabular vault model fit between gender and hip types revealed that it was only significantly different between normal males and normal females (P = 0.0194) and between normal males and dysplastic females (P = 0.0377). A conserved 3D acetabular vault shape and location exists that can accommodate various hip morphologies. Defining a normal vault may increase the precision with which hip pathology can be identified and may also serve as a preoperative assessment tool for planning total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accurate positioning of the acetabular cup in primary total hip arthroplasty is critical to decrease the rate of dislocation. Inaccurate orientation of the cup is the most common error during this procedure. Target acetabular orientation is still controversial. An original study found a dislocation rate of 0.6% when the cup was aligned with the transverse acetabular ligament (TAL). HYPOTHESIS TAL is a patient-specific anatomical landmark and a tool for cup orientation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight cadaveric pelves (14 hips included for study) were harvested in toto at our research laboratory. Anatomical versions of the TAL, labrum and horns were measured in relation to the anterior pelvic plane. A navigator sensor and an optoelectronic device (Motion Analysis™) were used. RESULTS Anatomical versions of the TAL, horns and labrum averaged 1.9° (range, -8° to +13.3°), 3° (range, -12.2° to 14°), and 26.3° (range, 17.4° to 41.8°), respectively. DISCUSSION To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the orientation of the periacetabular soft-tissues. TAL anteversion was outside the safe zone described by Lewinnek, while labrum anteversion was within this safe-zone. We discuss the reference used, Lewinnek's safe zone, and functional orientation of the implants. Lewinnek's safe-zone does not seem to be valid. The TAL seems to be a specific reference for each patient but its reliability must still be confirmed as an adequate reference for positioning the cup in total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
We measured the orientation of the acetabular and femoral components in 45 patients (33 men, 12 women) with a mean age of 53.4 years (30 to 74) who had undergone revision of metal-on-metal hip resurfacings. Three-dimensional CT was used to measure the inclination and version of the acetabular component, femoral version and the horizontal femoral offset, and the linear wear of the removed acetabular components was measured using a roundness machine. We found that acetabular version and combined version of the acetabular and femoral components were weakly positively correlated with the rate of wear. The acetabular inclination angle was strongly positively correlated with the rate of wear. Femoral version was weakly negatively correlated with the rate of wear. Application of a threshold of > 5 μm/year for the rate of wear in order to separate the revisions into low or high wearing groups showed that more high wearing components were implanted outside Lewinnek's safe zone, but that this was mainly due to the inclination of the acetabular component, which was the only parameter that significantly differed between the groups. We were unable to show that excess version of the acetabular component alone or combined with femoral version was associated with an increase in the rate of wear based on our assessment of version using CT.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) infection imposes a significant burden on the patient and the health care system. Two-stage revision with interval placement of an antibiotic-cement spacer is the standard of care for chronic periprosthetic infections. This treatment allows for the direct delivery of antibiotics to the infected tissues, and maintains soft tissue tension to facilitate the re-implantation procedure. Evidence suggests that articulating spacers, compared to nonarticulating designs, enhance postoperative ambulation and make the second-stage procedure less difficult. Prefabricated spacers are easy to use; however, they cannot be used to alter the antibiotic composition and dosage. Custom-molded spacers prepared in the operating room from commercially available kits are a popular option; however, like prefabricated spacers, limited sizes are available and thus, they may be contraindicated in situations with significant bone loss. Custom-made total hip spacers are significantly less expensive than commercially-available options, are useful in cases of bone loss, and optimize patient function prior to re-implantation. An inexpensive cemented femoral stem is covered with antibiotic-loaded bone cement. This is done once the cement has the consistency of dough to prevent interdigitation with the host femur. The authors use at least 3.6 g of tobramycin and 1 g of vancomycin per packet of cement. A thin polyethylene is cemented into the acetabulum, followed by placement of the femoral prosthesis. Combined component position must be optimized to prevent instability.

Abstract
We have evaluated in vitro the accuracy of percutaneous and ultrasound registration as measured in terms of errors in rotation and version relative to the bony anterior pelvic plane in computer-assisted total hip replacement, and analysed the intra- and inter-observer reliability of manual or ultrasound registration. Four clinicians were asked to perform registration of the landmarks of the anterior pelvic plane on two cadavers. Registration was performed under four different conditions of acquisition. Errors in rotation were not significant. Version errors were significant with percutaneous methods (16.2 degrees; p < 0.001 and 19.25 degrees with surgical draping; p < 0.001), but not with the ultrasound acquisition (6.2 degrees, p = 0.13). Intra-observer repeatability was achieved for all the methods. Inter-observer analysis showed acceptable agreement in the sagittal but not in the frontal plane. Ultrasound acquisition of the anterior pelvic plane was more reliable in vitro than the cutaneous digitisation currently used.

Abstract
Three-dimensional surface models of the normal hemipelvis derived from volumetric CT data on 42 patients were used to determine the radius, depth and orientation of the native acetabulum. A sphere fitted to the lunate surface and a plane matched to the acetabular rim were used to calculate the radius, depth and anatomical orientation of the acetabulum. For the 22 females the mean acetabular abduction, anteversion, radius and normalised depth were 57.1° (50.7° to 66.8°), 24.1° (14.0° to 33.3°), 25 mm (21.7 to 30.3) and 0.79 mm (0.56 to 1.04), respectively. The same parameters for the 20 males were 55.5° (47.7° to 65.9°), 19.3° (8.5° to 32.3°), 26.7 mm (24.5 to 28.7) and 0.85 mm (0.65 to 0.99), respectively. The orientation of the native acetabulum did not match the safe zone for acetabular component placement described by Lewinnek. During total hip replacement surgeons should be aware that the average abduction angle of the native acetabulum exceeds that of the safe zone angle. If the concept of the safe zone angle is followed, abduction of the acetabular component should be less than the abduction of the native acetabulum by approximately 10°.
