Kurmis AP. Gender differences in unintended anterior pelvic roll during primary THA in the lateral position. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:419. [PMID: 39033130 PMCID: PMC11265053 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04811-y] [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: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fundamental morphologic differences between male and female pelvises are historically recognised. Despite this, little consideration has been given as to whether or not conventional positioning supports used for primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) performed in the lateral position do an equally effective job of maintaining the intended set up position when comparing genders. Given that recent research has highlighted that unintended pelvic roll occurs commonly during hip surgery, and that such movement may have a mechanically-deleterious consequence upon final construct performance and complication rates, this study was undertaken to explore the differences in pelvic roll between genders. METHODS The output of a high-precision, commercially-available, imageless intra-operative navigation system was prospectively-collected for 85 consecutive patients undergoing unilateral, primary THAs. These data were separated by gender and were utilised to determine differences in pelvic movement around a central sagittal axis. RESULTS Demographic data were similar between genders, with no between-group differences in mean BMI (p = 0.09) or indication for surgery (p = 0.66), however participating males (mean 68.04) were slightly younger than females (mean 73.31). The mean anterior pelvic roll for females was 9.50°, and for males 8.68°. There were no statistically significant independent correlations observed between gender (p = 0.21) and pelvic roll. CONCLUSION The findings of this novel study do not suggest gender differences in the magnitude of unintended, intra-operative, anterior roll, even when corrected for BMI and surgical indication. Average roll of ~ 9° was demonstrated across both groups. An awareness of such positional change during THA surgery may reduce potentially-avoidable post-operative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of portable navigation systems (PNS) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become increasingly prevalent, with second-generation PNS (sPNS) demonstrating superior accuracy in the lateral decubitus position compared to first-generation PNS. However, few studies have compared different types of sPNS. This study retrospectively compares the accuracy and clinical outcomes of two different types of sPNS instruments in patients undergoing THA. METHODS A total of 158 eligible patients who underwent THA at a single institution between 2019 and 2022 were enrolled in the study, including 89 who used an accelerometer-based PNS with handheld infrared stereo cameras in the Naviswiss group (group N) and 69 who used an augmented reality (AR)-based PNS in the AR-Hip group (group A). Accuracy error, navigation error, clinical outcomes, and preparation time were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Accuracy errors for Inclination were comparable between group N (3.5° ± 3.0°) and group A (3.5° ± 3.1°) (p = 0.92). Accuracy errors for anteversion were comparable between group N (4.1° ± 3.1°) and group A (4.5° ± 4.0°) (p = 0.57). The navigation errors for inclination (group N: 2.9° ± 2.7°, group A: 3.0° ± 3.2°) and anteversion (group N: 4.3° ± 3.5°, group A: 4.3° ± 4.1°) were comparable between the groups (p = 0.86 and 0.94, respectively). The preparation time was shorter in group A than in group N (p = 0.036). There were no significant differences in operative time (p = 0.255), intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.387), or complications (p = 0.248) between the two groups. CONCLUSION An Accelerometer-based PNS using handheld infrared stereo cameras and AR-based PNS provide similar accuracy during THA in the lateral decubitus position, with a mean error of 3°-4° for both inclination and anteversion, though the AR-based PNS required a shorter preparation time.

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.

Abstract
Portable navigation systems have been developed for use in total hip arthroplasty (THA) in recent years. Although intraoperative registration in the lateral decubitus position or the supine position is need to create the three-dimensional coordinate system, it is not clear which position is appropriate. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of cup placement in primary THA in the lateral decubitus position using an image-free handheld navigation device with registration in the lateral decubitus or the supine position, and clarify which position is appropriate. This retrospective study included 129 consecutive cementless THAs performed using an image-free handheld navigation device in the lateral decubitus position. Registration in the first 68 hips was performed in the lateral decubitus position and the last 61 hips was performed in the supine position. Postoperative cup radiographic inclination and radiographic anteversion were assessed, and the accuracy was compared between the two groups. The mean absolute errors of the postoperative measured inclination and anteversion from the target angles were 3.9° ± 2.2° and 4.8° ± 3.5° in the lateral group and 2.9° ± 2.7° and 3.2° ± 2.7° in the supine group (p < 0.05). The percentage of cups inside Lewinnek's safe zone was 94% in the lateral group and 95% in the supine group (ns). The mean absolute values of navigation error in inclination and anteversion were 3.1° ± 2.1° and 4.2° ± 2.8° in the lateral group and 2.3° ± 2.0° and 3.1° ± 2.4° in the supine group (p < 0.05 and p < 0.05). Registration in the supine position improved the accuracy of cup insertion compared with the lateral decubitus position in THA using an image-free handheld navigation device in the lateral decubitus position.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unintended pelvic positional change is an acknowledged intra-operative problem for hip arthroplasty, seen commonly with procedures performed in the lateral position. If unrecognised, such changes can dramatically alter final acetabular component anteversion potentially resulting in suboptimal construct performance. It has previously been suggested that pelvic roll of just 13° may be enough to place an otherwise perfectly orientated cup outside of conventional ± 10° safe zones. Using the real-time tracking capacity of a commercially available optical navigation system, we aimed to accurately quantify pelvic roll occurring during total hip arthroplasties (THAs) performed in the decubitus position. METHODS Prospectively collected data for 107 consecutive, unilateral, THAs were interrogated to determine the magnitude of pelvic movement around a central longitudinal axis (i.e. AP roll). Correlation statistics with patient age and body mass index (BMI) were also calculated. RESULTS A mean pelvic roll of 9.5° was observed, being anterior in 96% of cases. Of these, 18.3% of hips had a magnitude of roll greater than 13°. There were no statistically significant independent correlations observed between age (p = 0.87) or BMI (p = 0.59) and mean roll. CONCLUSIONS Errors in achieving acetabular target version may result in numerous post-operative concerns including instability/dislocation, bearing wear, squeaking, range-of-movement limitation and increased revision rate. In a general cohort, our findings suggest a mean anterior pelvic roll during THA of nearly 10°. Without purposeful correction, this may cause substantial deviation from intended target positions. Future work is indicated to map changing pelvic roll during THA which is likely to follow a nonlinear trajectory. Level of evidence: IV. .

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The functional pelvic plane, which adopts the natural pelvic sagittal tilt in the supine position, is a good reference for determining the cup angle in total hip arthroplasty. However, hip flexion contracture may change pelvic tilt postoperatively by the release of contracture. This study investigated the influence of hip flexion contracture on pelvic sagittal tilt in the supine position. METHODS This study included 300 patients who underwent primary unilateral total hip arthroplasty. We divided the participants into two groups: with a preoperative hip extension angle of <0° (hip flexion contracture group) and without (non-contracture group). The pelvic sagittal tilt and femoral flexion angle were investigated using computed tomography or pelvic radiographs performed preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS The femoral flexion angle had significantly reduced postoperatively in the hip flexion contracture group but remained unchanged in the non-contracture group. The preoperative and postoperative pelvic sagittal tilt showed no significant differences between the two groups up to 1 year postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS The influence of hip flexion contracture on the pelvic sagittal tilt in the supine position was minimal. The functional pelvic plane in the supine position could be a good reference to ascertain the cup orientation, even in hip flexion contracture cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combined anteversion theory to prevent impingement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been proposed. However, because stem-anteversion is influenced by the native femoral anteversion and the stem flexion/extension angle, it is often difficult to adjust stem anteversion during surgery. Therefore, the stem-first (combined anteversion) technique may be useful to adjust and achieve appropriate cup anteversion during surgery with respect to the implanted stem anteversion angle. However, the technique may adversely affect cup or stem angle accuracy and result in intra-operative bleeding, post-operative adverse events, and prolonged operative time. It is inconclusive whether either the stem-first or cup-first technique is safe or accurate. Therefore, this study assessed the accuracy and safety of stem-first THA compared to those of cup-first THA. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective randomised controlled trial analysed 114 patients who were randomly divided into 2 groups (stem-first group: n = 57, cup-first group (control group): n = 57). Primary outcomes included cup and stem angle, the discrepancies from the targeted angle and combined anteversion (evaluated via CT at 3 months postoperatively). Secondary outcomes included intraoperative blood loss, operative time, WOMAC, and adverse events. RESULTS There were no significant differences in age, gender, BMI or in the primary and secondary outcomes between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS Performing stem-first in THA did not adversely affect cup and stem angle accuracy, or result in intraoperative bleeding, prolongation of operative time, or postoperative adverse events. Thus, performing stem-first may be advantageous for achieving combined anteversion theory. TRIAL REGISTRATION University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) registration number UMIN000025189.

Abstract
Introduction Total hip arthroplasty (THA) requires forceful maneuvers that can cause the pelvis to shift from its original position. Various methods for stabilizing the pelvis in the lateral decubitus position exist, but there is limited data quantifying the relative stability of each hip positioner. We sought to quantify the pelvic movement that occurred in four commercially available hip positioners during surgeon induced motion of the hip. Methods An infrared marker was attached to the ilium of a cadaver secured in the lateral decubitus position. Four commercially available hip positioners were used for positioning: Beanbag, Pegboard, Stulberg, and ExactFit. Rotation and translation was captured using an infrared marker and camera system while the hip was moved through six motions (Flexion, Extension, Internal Rotation, External Rotation, Push, and Pull). Results The Beanbag had the greatest amount of rotation and translation of the pelvis, with maximum hip rotation of 41.5°. The Stulberg and Pegboard positioners showed intermediate stability, with a maximum rotation of 7.8° and 17.1°, respectively. The ExactFit hip positioner resulted in the least amount of motion of the pelvis, with a maximum rotation of the pelvis of up to 3.2°. Of the simulated motions performed, internal rotation and flexion of the hip led to the greatest changes in pelvic rotation and translation. Conclusion The ExactFit positioner was associated with the smallest amount of pelvic motion during simulated motions of hip arthroplasty, followed by the Stulberg, Pegboard, and Beanbag positioners. Further studies are required to correlate this information with clinical outcomes following total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
For accurate cup alignment without navigation in total hip arthroplasty (THA), we developed a "laser guide technique." The major purposes of this paper are to introduce the technique and compare its accuracy with a conventional manual technique. As a clinical outcome, the dislocation rate was reviewed. Our laser guide technique, which includes preoperative postural adjustment and intraoperative angular reference, has been detailed in the manuscript. 599 hips in 523 patients who underwent primary THA with piriformis-sparing posterolateral approach in April 2010-March 2016 were reviewed. Patients were divided into three groups: conventional group (135 hips), laser guide group (80 hips), and laser + radiographic alignment guide group (384 hips). Radiographic inclination (RI) and radiographic anteversion (RA) errors were evaluated. The dislocation rate was reviewed in 540 hips in 476 patients who were followed up > 2 years postoperatively. Absolute values of the RI/RA error in the three groups were 5.3° ± 4.0°/6.5° ± 4.5°, 4.0° ± 2.8°/4.9° ± 4.4°, and 3.3° ± 2.6°/3.6° ± 2.8°, respectively, indicating substantially enhanced accuracy with laser and radiographic alignment guide. The dislocation rates were 2.5% (3/119) and 0.2% (1/421) in the conventional and laser groups, respectively. Our novel laser guide technique considerably enhanced cup alignment accuracy, suggesting its potential applicability for THA in the lateral decubitus position.

Abstract
Background We developed a mobile device application and dedicated pelvic positioner with the aim of improving the acetabular cup placement accuracy in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). The function of the application was to display the intra-operative cup angle. The accuracy and clinical usefulness of this combined method were verified through comparison with the conventional alignment guide method. Methods In total, 60 patients who underwent cementless THA were included in this study. We compared the cup alignment when using this combined method with that when using the conventional alignment guide method. The absolute value error between the intra- and post-operative angles of inclination and anteversion of the cup was calculated. Results The absolute value error of inclination was 2.4° ± 2.1° in the study group and 4.0° ± 3.3° in the control group (P = 0.107). The absolute value error of anteversion was 2.8° ± 2.6° in the study group and 7.4° ± 5.3° in the control group (P < 0.001). Conclusion Using the application and pelvic positioner is simple and can be introduced at a low cost. The more accurate measurement of the intra-operative cup angle using this combined method has improved the cup insertion accuracy compared with that of the conventional alignment guide method.

Clin Orthop Relat Res 2022; 480:818-828.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many THA simulation models rely on a limited set of preoperative static radiographs to replicate sagittal pelvic tilt during functional positions and to recommend an implant orientation that minimizes the risk of prosthetic impingement. However, possible random changes in pelvic or lower extremity angular motions and the effect of coronal and axial pelvic tilt are not included in these preoperative models. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Can prosthetic impingement occur if the pelvic tilt or lower extremity alignment randomly varies up to ± 5° from what is measured on a single preoperative static radiographic image? (2) Do changes in coronal and axial pelvic tilt or lower extremity alignment angles have a similar effect on the risk of prosthetic impingement? METHODS A de-identified pelvis and lower-body CT image of a male patient without previous THA or lower extremity surgery was used to import the pelvis, femur, and tibia into a verified MATLAB computer model. The motions of standing, pivoting, sitting, sit-to-stand, squatting, and bending forward were simulated. THA implant components included a full hemispherical acetabular cup without an elevated rim, polyethylene liner without an elevated rim, femoral head (diameter: 28 mm, 32 mm, 36 mm, or 40 mm), and a triple-taper cementless stem with three different neck shaft angles (127°, 132°, or 135°) with a trapezoidal neck were used in this model. A static model (cup anatomical abduction 40°, cup anatomical anteversion 20°, stem anatomical anteversion 10°) with a predefined range of sagittal pelvic tilt and hip alignment (0° coronal or axial tilt, without random ± 5° change) was used to simulate each motion. We then randomly varied pelvic tilt in three different pelvic planes and hip alignments (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation) up to ± 5° and assessed the same motions without changing the implant's anatomical orientation. Prosthetic impingement as the endpoint was defined as mechanical abutment between the prosthetic neck and polyethylene liner. Multiple logistic regression was used to investigate the effect of variation in pelvic tilt and hip alignment (predictors) on prosthetic impingement (primary outcome). RESULTS The static-based model without the random variation did not result in any prosthetic impingement under any conditions. However, with up to ± 5° of random variation in the pelvic tilt and hip alignment angles, prosthetic impingement occurred in pivoting (18 possible combinations), sit-to-stand (106 possible combinations), and squatting (one possible combination) when a 28-mm or a 32-mm head was used. Variation in sagittal tilt (odds ratio 4.09 [95% CI 3.11 to 5.37]; p < 0.001), axial tilt (OR 3.87 [95% CI 2.96 to 5.07]; p < 0.001), and coronal tilt (OR 2.39 [95% CI 2.03 to 2.83]; p < 0.001) affected the risk of prosthetic impingement. Variation in hip flexion had a strong impact on the risk of prosthetic impingement (OR 4.11 [95% CI 3.38 to 4.99]; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The combined effect of 2° to 3° of change in multiple pelvic tilt or hip alignment angles relative to what is measured on a single static radiographic image can result in prosthetic impingement. Relying on a few preoperative static radiographic images to minimize the risk of prosthetic impingement, without including femoral implant orientation, axial and coronal pelvic tilt, and random angular variation in pelvis and lower extremity alignment, may not be adequate and may fail to predict prosthetic impingement-free ROM. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Determining a safe zone for THA implant positioning with respect to impingement may require a dynamic computer simulation model to fully capture the range of possible impingement conditions. Future work should concentrate on devising simple and easily available methods for dynamic motion analysis instead of using a few static radiographs for preoperative planning.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The placement of prostheses for a total hip arthroplasty (THA) is essential to limit complications and optimize functional results. In a recent study of more than 100 THA placed through a direct anterior approach using a traction table, we found that the mean anteversion of the cup was greater (30°) than recommended (20°). To explain this phenomenon, we considered that the anterior pelvic plane (APP), defined by the plane passing through the anterior-superior iliac spines and the pubic symphysis, which serves as a landmark for the placement and calculation of the anteversion of the cup, was not horizontal when the patient was lying on the traction table. This concept has not been evaluated so we conducted a prospective study to: 1) measure the position of the pelvis on a traction table; 2) compare to the standing position, 3) assess its impact on the anteversion of the cup. HYPOTHESIS The standing pelvic version is identical to the supine pelvic version on the traction table. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective 3-month monocentric study was conducted. All patients operated on for a THA by a direct anterior approach, on a traction table, were included. The position of the pelvis was assessed by measuring the tilt of the APP on lateral pelvic X-rays, while on the traction table and while standing. The impact of the position of the pelvis on the positioning of the cup, as well as the anteversion, were measured using the EOS imaging system. The anatomic anteversion of the cup was measured in relation to the APP. RESULTS Fifty-eight patients were included (32 women, 26 men) with an average age of 67 years. The tilt of the supine APP was 6°±8.3 [range of -10.5 to 31.0] (indicating a retroverted pelvis on the traction table). The difference between the tilt of the standing and lying APP (within 90°) was not significant (standing was on average 4.5° [range of -11.0 to 27.0] versus lying on the table, was on average 6° [range of -10.5 to 31.0] (p=0.75). A strong correlation was observed between the tilt of the supine APP and the anatomic anteversion of the cup (p<0.001). Thus, the more retroverted the pelvis was on the traction table, the lower the anatomic anteversion of the acetabular cup. CONCLUSION The supine pelvis on the traction table is not always horizontal and its position on the traction table is similar to its standing position, within 90 degrees. The analysis of the positioning of the preoperative pelvis appears to be essential in the planning of a THA through direct anterior approach using a traction table.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND The accuracies of various navigation systems in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been described; however, the accuracy of cup orientation with an accelerometer-based navigation system has not been reported. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracies of computed tomography (CT)- and accelerometer-based navigation systems for cup orientation in THA. METHODS In this prospective study, 30 patients who underwent cementless THA via anterolateral approach in the lateral decubitus position were analysed. A CT-based navigation system (30 hips) and an accelerometer-based navigation system (30 hips) were used simultaneously. The accuracy of cup orientation (absolute difference between intraoperative vs. postoperative measurements) was compared between the navigation systems using postoperative CT. RESULTS The accuracy of cup inclination was 3.2 ± 2.4° in the CT-based navigation group and 4.1 ± 3.7° in the accelerometer-based navigation group (p = 0.3035). The accuracy of cup anteversion was 3.0° ± 2.5° in the CT-based navigation group and 6.8° ± 4.8° in the accelerometer-based navigation group. Cup anteversion was significantly more accurate with the CT-based navigation system than with accelerometer-based navigation (p = 0.0009). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the malposition in cup anteversion was positively correlated with the change in pelvic tilt and loosening of the reference antenna. CONCLUSIONS Although, these results are only true for this specific accelerometer system, cup positioning was significantly more accurate with the CT-based navigation system than an accelerometer-based navigation in the lateral decubitus position. This is because of considerable discrepancies in the sagittal pelvic tilt, resulting in variability in cup anteversion angle with the use of an accelerometer-based navigation system.

Abstract
By combining the anatomical-pelvic-plane (APP) positioner with a newly improved navigation system during total hip arthroplasty (THA), it is theoretically possible to determine cup orientation based on the APP while tracking pelvic movement. The purpose of this study was to determine the navigation accuracy and whether the error is related to the pelvic position fixed by the positioner. Fifty hips that underwent primary THA between 2018 and 2020 were analysed. The accuracy was 2.34° at radiographic inclination (RI) and − 5.01° at radiographic anteversion (RA), and the error was within 10° at both RI and RA in only 40 of 50 hips (80.0%). The discrepancy in pelvic sagittal tilt was correlated with the cup orientation error and especially strongly correlated with the RA error (r = − 0.751, p < 0.001). When RI and RA were calculated using a correction formula to determine the true cup orientation based on the pelvic tilt discrepancies, the error in both RI and RA was within 10° in all cases (100%). The navigation accuracy is related to the pelvic position fixed by the positioner, and the correction formula for the target angle that considers pelvic tilt discrepancies can lead to accurate cup placement in the future.

Arthroplast Today 2021; 7:177-181.

Abstract
Background A portable navigation system (PNS) was recently introduced. The PNS enables surgeons to place the acetabular component accurately. While the margin of the error for the cup abduction and anteversion was larger than the values obtained from a computed tomography-based navigation system. We hypothesized that the accuracy of the PNS might be affected by pelvic tilt. Material and Methods A bone substitute model of the pelvis was used in this in vitro study. We set the acetabular component using PNS. We set the acetabular component angle after changing the sagittal, coronal, and axial pelvic tilt. We calculated the difference between the angle displayed on the PNS display and the actual angle of the acetabular component. The difference in inclination angle was defined as ΔRI, and the difference in the anteversion angle was defined as ΔRA. We evaluated the trends in this ΔRI and ΔRA due to the pelvic tilt. Results In this in vitro study, the placement of the acetabular component was accurate in the neutral position; ΔRI was 0.5 ± 0.7° and ΔRA was 1.0 ± 0.7°. Sagittal pelvic tilt and axial pelvic tilt increased both the ΔRA and ΔRI (P = .017). Coronal tilt increased ΔRI but did not change ΔRA. Conclusions While the PNS may enable surgeons to place accurate component placement in the neutral position, its accuracy decreased by pelvic tilt. The surgeons should use a solid pelvic lateral positioner for reducing discrepancies in pelvic tilt when using the PNS in the lateral decubitus position.

Abstract
Proper alignment of acetabular implantation is necessary for good patient outcomes and preventing complications or additional surgeries in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Rotation of the pelvis in lateral decubitus (LD) is typically not accounted for as surgeons use the surgery table as a reference plane to align implants. This study compared four techniques to measure 3D pelvic rotations in LD position using computer models. CT scans of 19 subjects in LD position were used to create 3D pelvis models. Pelvic rotations were measured by three users using four techniques: landmark (LM), defined plane (DP), anterior pelvic plane (APP), and plane of best symmetry (POBS) methods. Measurements were analysed for intra-user reliability and relationships between methods were assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient, standard error of measurement, and coefficient of determination. The POBS method exhibited the highest inter-observer reliability and is recommended as a new measurement technique to measure pelvic rotations before THA surgery. The LM method exhibited low reliability but may be suitable for expert users familiar with pelvic landmarks. The APP method should only be used when the patients' APP planes are known in neutral standing and side-lying postures. The DP method is not recommended due to substantial individual variability.

Abstract
Aims Appropriate acetabular component placement has been proposed for prevention of postoperative dislocation in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Manual placements often cause outliers in spite of attempts to insert the component within the intended safe zone; therefore, some surgeons routinely evaluate intraoperative pelvic radiographs to exclude excessive acetabular component malposition. However, their evaluation is often ambiguous in case of the tilted or rotated pelvic position. The purpose of this study was to develop the computational analysis to digitalize the acetabular component orientation regardless of the pelvic tilt or rotation. Methods Intraoperative pelvic radiographs of 50 patients who underwent THA were collected retrospectively. The 3D pelvic bone model and the acetabular component were image-matched to the intraoperative pelvic radiograph. The radiological anteversion (RA) and radiological inclination (RI) of the acetabular component were calculated and those measurement errors from the postoperative CT data were compared relative to those of the 2D measurements. In addition, the intra- and interobserver differences of the image-matching analysis were evaluated. Results Mean measurement errors of the image-matching analyses were significantly small (2.5° (SD 1.4°) and 0.1° (SD 0.9°) in the RA and RI, respectively) relative to those of the 2D measurements. Intra- and interobserver differences were similarly small from the clinical perspective. Conclusion We have developed a computational analysis of acetabular component orientation using an image-matching technique with small measurement errors compared to visual evaluations regardless of the pelvic tilt or rotation.Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2020;9(7):360-367.

Tetsunaga T, Yamada K, Tetsunaga T, Sanki T, Kawamura Y, Ozaki T. An accelerometer-based navigation system provides acetabular cup orientation accuracy comparable to that of computed tomography-based navigation during total hip arthroplasty in the supine position. J Orthop Surg Res 2020; 15:147. [PMID: 32295628 PMCID: PMC7161129 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-020-01673-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2019] [Accepted: 04/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Inadequate acetabular component orientation is associated with postoperative impingement, dislocation, and accelerated polyethylene wear. Computed tomography (CT)-based navigation systems provide accuracy for total hip arthroplasty (THA) but are not available in all facilities. Accelerometer-based navigation systems are inexpensive, but their accuracy remains undetermined. This study compares the accuracy of cup orientation in THA using CT-based and accelerometer-based navigation systems. Methods This retrospective study included 35 consecutive patients (11 males, 24 females; mean age, 65 years) who underwent primary cementless THA via an anterolateral approach in the supine position. Both CT-based and accelerometer-based navigation systems were used simultaneously. The accuracy of cup orientation was compared between the two systems using postoperative CT. Results The accuracy of cup inclination was 2.7° ± 2.0° in the CT-based group and 3.3° ± 2.4° in the accelerometer-based group. The accuracy of cup anteversion was 2.8° ± 2.6° in the CT-based group and 3.4° ± 2.2° in the accelerometer-based group. No significant difference was observed in cup inclination (p = 0.29) or cup anteversion (p = 0.34) between CT-based and accelerometer-based navigation. Conclusions The accuracy of cup positioning did not differ significantly between CT-based and accelerometer-based navigation systems.

Abstract
SURGICAL PRINCIPLE AND OBJECTIVE The direct anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty is associated with higher complication rates and difficult femoral component positioning. Performing a modified technique in the lateral position allows secure component positioning. INDICATIONS Primary hip replacement (including femoral neck fracture) and cup revision without bone deficiency. CONTRAINDICATIONS Destruction/deformities of proximal femur or acetabulum, bone deficiency or malignancy. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE Strict lateral decubitus position. Straight anterior incision of 10-12 cm, starting 2 cm lateral to the anterior superior iliac spine. Incision of the fascia over the tensor fascia lata muscle (TFL). Lateral retraction of the TFL. Incision of the fascia and medial retraction of rectus femoris. Ligation of the ascending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery. Detachment of the iliocapsularis muscle from the capsule in a medial direction. Anterior capsule excision. Femoral neck osteotomy and removal of the head. Reaming of the acetabulum; insertion the acetabular component. Exposure of the femur. Incision/excision of the capsule medial to the greater trochanter for easy anteriorization of the femur. Reaming and implantation of femoral component. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT Weight bearing on day one with crutches for 4 weeks; deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis. RESULTS In all, 138 patients (72 women, 66 men, mean age of 67 years) were followed up over 2 years. Overall complication rate was 3.6%: 3 patients (2.2%) with grade III complications required additional intervention. Acetabular cup inclination: 35-50° in 88% of patients. Neutral femoral stem position observed in 99% of patients. Mean Harris hip score improved from 61 preoperatively to 97 after 2 years. Patient satisfaction on a visual analogue scale improved from 3.7 to 9.5.

Efficacy of a Pelvic Lateral Positioner With a Mechanical Cup Navigator Based on the Anatomical Pelvic Plane in Total Hip Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2017; 32:3659-3664. [PMID: 28712802 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2017.06.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2017] [Revised: 05/30/2017] [Accepted: 06/19/2017] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The acetabular component orientation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is of critical importance to the good clinical results. However, traditional widely used cup alignment guides for cup placement are reported to be relatively unreliable. The present study aims at comparing a novel cup alignment guide, which can be attached to our anatomical pelvic plane (APP) pelvic lateral positioner for reducing discrepancies in sagittal pelvic tilt and indicate a targeted cup angle based on the APP, with a conventional cup alignment guide. METHODS The subjects were 136 hips of 136 patients who underwent unilateral THA using the APP positioner. The procedure was performed with the conventional cup alignment guide (conventional group; 60 hips) and with the novel cup navigator (mechanical navigator group; 76 hips). Postoperative cup angles and discrepancies of postoperative cup angles (inclination and anteversion angles) from the targeted angles were compared between the 2 groups to evaluate the usefulness of these navigators. RESULTS The mean cup angles in the conventional group were 39.0° ± 5.3° for the inclination angle and 21.7° ± 6.4° for the anteversion angle, whereas those in the mechanical navigator group were 40.6° ± 3.2° and 18.3° ± 4.6°, respectively (P = .018, P < .0001). The discrepancies from the targeted angles were 3.5° ± 3.1° for the inclination angle and 4.6° ± 3.4° for the anteversion angle in the conventional group and 2.3° ± 2.3° and 3.2° ± 2.7°, respectively, in the mechanical navigator group (P = .020, P = .012). CONCLUSION The mechanical cup navigator easily attachable to the APP positioner is a tool that can improve the accuracy of cup placement in a simple, economical, and noninvasive manner in THA via the lateral position.

Patient Obesity Influences Pelvic Lift During Cup Insertion in Total Hip Arthroplasty Through a Lateral Transgluteal Approach in Supine Position. J Arthroplasty 2017; 32:2762-2767.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Movement of the pelvis during implantation of total hip arthroplasty (THA) has a major influence on the positioning of the acetabular cup. Strong traction caused by retractors leads to iatrogenic pelvic lift and can thus be partly responsible for cup malpositioning. The objective of this study was to investigate such factors that influence pelvic lift. METHODS The dynamic movement of the pelvis was measured during implantation of THA in 67 patients. This was done by measuring the acceleration using the SensorLog app on a smartphone. RESULTS At its maximum, the pelvis was lifted by an average of 6.7°. When impacting the press-fit cup, the surgical side was raised by 4.4° compared with the time of skin incision. This lift at the time of cup implantation correlates significantly with the body mass index and the patient's abdominal and pelvic circumference. CONCLUSION Every surgeon performing THA must be aware of the pelvic lift during an operation. Especially in patients with a high body mass index, a large abdominal circumference, or a large pelvic circumference, there is an increased risk of malpositioning of the acetabular cup. When impacting the cup, we recommend releasing the traction of the retractor, so that the pelvis can tilt back into its natural position, and thus, the anticipated cup positioning can be implemented as exactly as possible.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The position of the cup makes a major contribution to the success of total hip arthroplasty (THA). In conventional implantation of the prosthesis without navigation, the surgeon relies on the spatial position of the pelvis. However, iatrogenic manipulation of the pelvis during different surgical steps constantly changes the position of the pelvis during the operation. The position of the pelvis is substantial for the correct placement of the cup. The objective of this study was to investigate and visualize the course of this pelvic lift and correlate it to certain surgical steps. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pelvic lift was measured in 67 patients during implantation of a THA. This was done by measuring acceleration using the SensorLog app on a smartphone. It was placed on the patient's contralateral anterior superior iliac spine and recorded the movement of the pelvis throughout the whole surgical procedure. The position of the pelvis was allocated to each of eight relevant surgical steps during the operation. These surgical steps were normed over the time axis and transferred to a diagram. RESULTS We found an average pelvic lift displacement of up to 14.9° upon placement in the figure-of-four position. This lift is particularly critical when exposing the acetabulum, as the true cup position can be unconsciously influenced. Average values of between 5.6° and 6.9° were found here. CONCLUSIONS When implanting a THA in supine position, the pelvis is not fixed on the operating table. Rather, the side to be operated on is lifted to a greater or lesser degree, depending on the surgical step to be performed. The retractor traction immediately before cup implantation should be minimized. Nevertheless, it should be taken into account that anteversion of the cup implant in relation to the table plane is systematically higher than in relation to the pelvic entry plane.
