[PMID: 38825822 PMCID: PMC11162868 DOI: 10.5371/hp.2024.36.2.129] [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: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Preoperative planning has become essential in performance of total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, data regarding the effect of the planner's experience on the accuracy of digital preoperative planning is limited. The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of digital templating in THA based on the surgeon's experience. Materials and Methods A retrospective study was conducted. An analysis of 98 anteroposterior pelvic radiographs, which were individually templated by four surgeons (two hip surgeons and two orthopaedic residents) using TraumaCad® digital planning, was performed. A comparison of preoperatively planned sizes with implanted sizes was performed to evaluate the accuracy of predicting component size. The results of preoperative planning performed by hip surgeons and orthopaedic residents were compared for testing of the planner's experience. Results Femoral stem was precisely predicted in 32.4% of cases, acetabular component in 40.3%, and femoral offset in 76.7%. Prediction of cup size showed greater accuracy than femoral size among all observers. No differences in any variable were observed among the four groups (acetabular cup P=0.07, femoral stem P=0.82, femoral offset P=0.06). All measurements showed good reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] acetabular cup: 0.76, ICC femoral stem: 0.79). Conclusion The results of this study might suggest that even though a surgeon's experience supports improved precision during the planning stage, it should not be restricted only to surgeons with a high level of experience. We consider preoperative planning an essential part of the surgery, which should be included in training for orthopaedics residents.

[PMID: 37942898 DOI: 10.1080/17434440.2023.2280986] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The direct anterior approach (DAA) has its origins in the first and oldest approach for hip replacement in the literature, but at the same time it would not be fanciful to suggest its increasing popularity as the latest approach for hip replacement procedures, especially among younger surgeons. However, in a geographical context, the DAA is not considered the major approach in most countries. Moreover, the term DAA encompasses numerous variations in terms of technique. AREAS COVERED In this narrative review, we describe our recent experience of advances in the DAA in terms of improved techniques and devices, along with some of its disadvantages. Also, we express our perspective on its future application. EXPERT OPINIONS The DAA is established as one of exemplary approaches to THA. The use of fluoroscopy, the traction table, and appropriate soft tissue management has become essential in the DAA for a safe and trouble-free procedure with adequate patient comfort. With the combination of recent technologies such as robotics, three-dimensional preoperative planning, and artificial intelligence (AI)-based surgeon assist systems, we can look forward to the DAA being performed more efficiently in the future.

Minimum 30-Year Results of Bilaterally Implanted Cemented and Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Younger Than 50 Years. J Arthroplasty 2022; 38:873-879. [PMID: 36410630 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.11.003] [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: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 10/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The rate of failure of cemented and cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) in younger patients is higher than that in elderly patients. The purpose of this study is to document the long-term clinical results of THA with the so-called third-generation cementing and the results of second-generation cementless THA in patients <50 years of age. METHODS This study included 106 patients who had had bilateral THA with a cemented stem in one hip and a cementless stem in the other. There were 78 men and 28 women. Their mean age was 47 years (range, 21-49). The average follow-up duration was 31 years (range, 30-32.5). RESULTS There were similar mean Harris Hip Scores (90 versus 91 points) between the groups at the final follow-up. Forty-six acetabular components (43%) in the cemented group and 48 acetabular components (45%) in the cementless group were revised. Five femoral components (5%) in the cemented group and 4 femoral components (4%) in the cementless group were revised. Survivorship of the acetabular component at 30.8 years was similar in both groups (57% in the cemented group versus 55% in the cementless group). Survivorship of the femoral component at 30.8 years was also similar in both groups (95% in the cemented group versus 96% in the cementless group). CONCLUSION Long-term fixation of the cemented or cementless femoral stem was outstanding. There was a high rate of the acetabular component revision due to conventional polyethylene wear and periacetabular osteolysis in both hybrid and fully cementless THA groups.
