J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00526-6. [PMID: 38810812 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.05.054] [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: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pre-operative planning in total hip arthroplasty (THA), involves utilizing radiographs or advanced imaging modalities, including computerized tomography (CT) scans, for precise prediction of implant sizing and positioning. This study aimed to compare Three-Dimensional (3D) versus Two-Dimensional (2D) pre-operative planning in primary THA with respect to key surgical metrics, including restoration of the horizontal and vertical Center of Rotation (COR), combined offset, and leg length. METHODS This study included 60 patients undergoing primary THA for symptomatic hip osteoarthritis, randomly allocated to either robotic-arm-assisted or conventional THA. Digital 2D templating and 3D planning using the robotic software were performed for all patients. All measurements to evaluate the accuracy of templating methods were conducted on the pre-operative CT scanogram, using the contralateral hip as a reference. Sensitivity analyses explored differences between 2D and 3D planning in patients who had supero-lateral or medial osteoarthritis patterns. RESULTS Compared to 2D templating, 3D templating was associated with less medialization of the horizontal COR (-1.2 versus -0.2 mm, P = 0.002) and more accurate restoration of the vertical COR (1.63 versus 0.3 mm, P < 0.001) with respect to the contralateral side. Furthermore, 3D templating was superior for planned restoration of leg length (+0.23 versus -0.74 mm, P = 0.019). Sensitivity analyses demonstrated that in patients who had medial osteoarthritis, 3D planning resulted in less medialization of horizontal COR and less offset reduction. Conversely, in patients who had supero-lateral osteoarthritis, there was less lateralization of horizontal COR and less offset increase using 3D planning. Additionally, 3D planning showed superior reproducibility for stem, acetabular cup sizes, and neck angle, while 2D planning often led to smaller stem and cup sizes. CONCLUSION Our findings indicated higher accuracy in the planned restoration of native joint mechanics using 3D planning. Additionally, this study highlights distinct variances between the two planning methods across different osteoarthritis pattern subtypes, offering valuable insights for clinicians employing 2D planning.

Coxa valga and antetorta configuration leads to underestimation of the femoral component size: a matched case-control study of patients undergoing cementless total hip arthroplasty. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2024:10.1007/s00402-024-05373-8. [PMID: 38743114 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-024-05373-8] [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: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the gold standard procedure for patients with end-stage osteoarthritis after failed conservative therapy. Digital templating is commonly employed in preoperative preparation for THA and contributes positively to its outcome. However, the impact of coxa valga and antetorta (CVA) configurations on stem size prediction accuracy remains not reported. Previous studies demonstrated that the size of the lesser trochanter (LT) can be used to determine femoral anteversion on pelvis radiographs. This study investigates the accuracy of preoperative digital templating in predicting stem size in patients with CVA undergoing cementless THA. METHODS Preoperative radiographs of 620 patients undergoing cementless THA were retrospectively investigated. Radiographs were standardized with patients standing and the leg internally rotated by 15°. A CVA group was established including patients with a CCD angle greater than 140° and a lesser trochanter (LT) size of at least 10 mm for men and 8 mm for women. For the control group, radiographs with a CCD angle ranging from 125-135° and LT size 3-10 mm for men and 3-8 mm for women were selected. Preoperative templating was performed using mediCAD. To reduce confounding factors, case-control matching was carried out for BMI and body height. RESULTS After case-control matching, a total of thirty-one matches were analyzed. Stem size was underestimated in 74% (23/31) in the CVA and 13% (4/31) in the control group (p < 0.001). Moreover, patients with CVA were more likely to be underestimated by two sizes compared to controls (p < 0.004). In contrast, the exact stem size was predicted more frequently in the control group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Stem size in patients with a CVA configuration are at high risk of being underestimated when using digital templating. These findings can be valuable for guiding in intraoperative decisions and lowering the risk of complications associated with an undersized femoral component.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the last decades, there has been a refinement in total hip arthroplasty, which allowed surgeons to achieve the highest performance and better patient outcomes. Preoperative planning in primary hip arthroplasty is an essential step that guides the surgeon in restoring the anatomy and biomechanics of the joint. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of the 2D digital planning, considering cup sizing, stem sizing, and limb length discrepancy. Additionally, we conducted a multivariable analysis of demographic data and comorbidities to find factors influencing preoperative planning. METHODS This retrospective study analyzed the planning accuracy in 800 consecutive uncemented primary total hip arthroplasty. We compared the preoperatively planned total hip arthroplasty with postoperative results regarding the planned component size, the implanted size, and the lower limb length restoration. Therefore, we investigated factors influencing planning accuracy: overweight and obesity, sex, age, past medical history, comorbidities, and implant design. All the surgeries were performed in the posterolateral approach by one expert surgeon who did the preoperative planning. The preoperative planning was determined to be (a) exact if the planned and the implanted components were the same size and (b) accurate if exact ± one size. The restoration of postoperative limb length discrepancy was classified into three groups: ± 3 mm, ± 5 mm, and ± 10 mm. This assessment was performed through a digital method 2D based on a standard hip X-ray. RESULTS This court of 800 implants showed that planning was exact in 60% of the cups and 44% of the stems and was accurate in 94% of the cups and 80% of the stems. The postoperative limb length discrepancy was ± 3 mm in 91% and ± 5 mm in 97%. CONCLUSIONS This study showed preoperative 2D digital planning great precision and reliability, and we demonstrated that it was accurate in 94% of the cups and 80% of the stems. Therefore, the preoperative limb length discrepancy analysis was essential to guarantee the recovery of the operated limb's correct length.

Hip Pelvis 2024; 36:26-36. [PMID: 38420736 DOI: 10.5371/hp.2024.36.1.26] [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: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a frequently performed procedure; the objective is restoration of native hip biomechanics and achieving functional range of motion (ROM) through precise positioning of the prosthetic components. Advanced three-dimensional (3D) imaging and computed tomography (CT)-based navigation are valuable tools in both the preoperative planning and intraoperative execution. The aim of this study is to provide a thorough overview on the applications of CT scans in both the preoperative and intraoperative settings of primary THA. Preoperative planning using CT-based 3D imaging enables greater accuracy in prediction of implant sizes, leading to enhancement of surgical workflow with optimization of implant inventory. Surgeons can perform a more thorough assessment of posterior and anterior acetabular wall coverage, acetabular osteophytes, anatomical landmarks, and thus achieve more functional implant positioning. Intraoperative CT-based navigation can facilitate precise execution of the preoperative plan, to attain optimal positioning of the prosthetic components to avoid impingement. Medial reaming can be minimized preserving native bone stock, which can enable restoration of femoral, acetabular, and combined offsets. In addition, it is associated with greater accuracy in leg length adjustment, a critical factor in patients' postoperative satisfaction. Despite the higher costs and radiation exposure, which currently limits its widespread adoption, it offers many benefits, and the increasing interest in robotic surgery has facilitated its integration into routine practice. Conducting additional research on ultra-low-dose CT scans and examining the potential for translation of 3D imaging into improved clinical outcomes will be necessary to warrant its expanded application.

Abstract
Background A successful clinical outcome for total hip arthroplasty (THA) depends on accurate sizing and positioning of the implants. Using three-dimensional (3-D) pre-operative planning with a computerized tomography (CT) scan has many potential advantages over conventional 2-D planning using radiographs, including potentially more accurate assessments of the size and anteversion of the acetabulum, as well as lateral femoral offset. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of 3-D to 2-D templating with respect to acetabular and femoral size, as well as lateral femoral offset. Methods Pre-operative templating data was collected prospectively from a consecutive series of 290 primary THAs (acetabulum on all, femoral component on 255 of the cases using one specific stem). All cases were initially templated on a digital imaging picture archiving and communication (PACS) system with calibrated images to estimate the acetabular size, femoral size, and lateral femoral offset. The 3-D templating was then performed with software based on a CT scan, and the results were compared to what was surgically implanted. Results The 3-D templating for the acetabulum was accurate 99.7% of the time based on the final implanted component. The 2-D templating for the acetabulum was accurate 39% of the time, with 46% of cases templating smaller and 15% templating larger. The 3-D templating of the femoral component was accurate 63% of the time, and within one size of final implant in 96% of cases. The 2-D templating of the femoral component was accurate 53% of the time and within one size of final implant in 94% of cases. The 2-D templated femoral offset was accurate 87% of the time and was changed in 13% of cases after 3-D templating. Conclusion The CT-based 3-D preoperative planning was superior to 2-D planning for THA with respect to acetabular size, femoral size, and lateral femoral offset. Precise acetabular component sizing conserves bone and allows for a more predictable press fit, while facilitating efficient inventory management. Lateral femoral offset is often difficult to measure on 2-D images, and 3-D templating consistently allows for accurate offset restoration, which is important for normal hip function and stability.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preoperative planning of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using two-dimensional low-dose (2DLD) full-body imaging has gained popularity in recent years. The low-dose imaging system is said to produce a calibrated image with constant 1:1 magnification. However, the planning software used in conjunction with those images may introduce variations in the degree of magnification in 2DLD imaging, and this has not yet been investigated. The purpose of the present study was to quantify any variation in 2DLD image to assess the need for image calibration when using conventional planning software. METHODS Postoperative 2DLD images from 137 patients were retrospectively evaluated. Only patients who underwent THA for primary osteoarthritis were included in the study cohort. The femoral head diameter was measured by two independent observers using both Orthoview™ and TraumaCad™ planning software programs. Actual sizes of the femoral head implants were extracted from surgical reports to calculate image magnification. Magnification measurement reliability was calculated with the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) index. RESULTS Image magnification varied among cases (mean 133%, range 129-135%). There was no statistical difference in mean image magnification among the various implant sizes (p = 0.8). Mean observer and inter-observer reliability was rated excellent. CONCLUSION THA planning with 2DLD imaging is subject to variation in magnification as analyzed with conventional planning software in this series. This finding is of paramount importance for surgeons using 2DLD imaging in preparation for THA since errors in magnification could affect the accuracy of preoperative planning and ultimately the clinical outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the emergence of advanced technology, such as robotics, three-dimensional (3D) imaging is necessary to execute preoperative surgical plans accurately. However, 3D imaging adds cost and potential risk to patients. This study determined the measurement accuracy, reliability, and repeatability of a novel artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm which converts two-dimensional (2D) radiographs to 3D bone models. METHODS An AI algorithm was developed to convert 2D radiographs to 3D bone model reconstructions. The accuracy of the AI algorithm was evaluated by comparing mean absolute error in measurements performed on 3D bone reconstructions, 3D computed tomography (CT) scans, and manual measurements on five cadaveric knees. Reliability and repeatability of the AI algorithm were evaluated by assessing the inter-observer and intra-observer agreement between measurements performed on 3D bone reconstructions, respectively. RESULTS Accuracy of the AI algorithm was considered excellent with mean absolute errors <2mm in 9 of 12 anatomical parameters compared with measurements performed on CTs and manual calipers. All inter-observer and intra-observer correlation coefficients were greater than 0.90 representing a high level of measurement reliability and repeatability by independent observers and the same observers. CONCLUSION This particular AI algorithm demonstrated a high degree of accuracy, reliability, and repeatability for converting 2D radiographs to 3D bone reconstructions similar to a CT-scan. Study results suggest this AI algorithm has the potential for use in preoperative surgical planning due to its efficiencies related to cost and time and reduced radiation exposure without the use of 3D imaging.

Abstract
Despite its success, total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains associated with potentially significant complications associated with component malposition. Preoperative planning can mitigate some of these potential concerns; however, the accurate intraoperative delivery of preoperative targets can be challenging. Computer-assisted navigation may assist with intraoperative target delivery, although the integration of these two technologies is relatively uncommon. We retrospectively reviewed cases of THA planned with a computed tomography-based preoperative planning software and performed with the use of an imageless, computer-assisted navigation system. Postoperative acetabular component orientation from radiographs was compared with preoperative targets and intraoperative navigation measurements. A total of 76 patients were included in the analysis. The mean anteversion target (20.0°±3.1°) did not differ significantly from the mean intraoperative navigation measurement (20.5°±3.3°; P=.30; mean difference, 2.2°±2.3°). The mean radiographic measurement (26.6°±6.5°) differed from the target by a mean of 7.5°±6.1° (P<.001). The mean inclination target (38.4°±1.9°) did not differ significantly from the mean intra-operative measurement (38.0°±1.5°; P=.20; mean difference, 1.3°±1.7°) but differed from the radiographic measurement by a mean of 5.2°±4.2° (41.8°±5.6°; P<.001). No adverse events were reported in the 90-day period following the index procedure. Our study demonstrated that an imageless navigation system can accurately deliver computed tomography-derived preoperative targets for acetabular component orientation. Differences noted on radiographs may be due to the difference in patient positioning for the postoperative imaging (standing) as compared with preoperative imaging or surgery itself (supine).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative planning is a fundamental step for successful total hip arthroplasty (THA). Studies have highlighted the accuracy of preoperative digital templating for estimating acetabular cup and stem size. Stem design such as single-wedge metadiaphyseal (Type 1 stem) versus mid-short stem (microplasty) and surgical approach (anterior, direct lateral or posterior) have not been well investigated as predictors of THA templating accuracy. METHODS 204 patients (220 hips) who had undergone elective THA between November 2016 and December 2019 and presented a saved preoperative template were retrospectively reviewed. Templates from 5 different surgeons were involved in the analysis. 3 different approaches were used: direct lateral (DL), posterior (PA), direct anterior (DAA). 2 different stem designs were used: single-wedge metadiaphyseal and single-wedge mid-short (Biomet Taperloc Microplasty), while the acetabular component remained the same. Bivariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine predictors of accuracy. RESULTS Femoral component size templating accuracy was significantly improved when using the single-wedge mid-short stem (Taperloc Microplasty) design when performing bivariate analysis. Although accuracy of cup sizing was not affected by approach, precision was significantly better in the PA group (p < 0.05). Accuracy of templating was found to be independent of BMI and gender but dependent on presence of calibration marker and stem design (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS When striving for improved templating accuracy, acetabular and femoral component accuracy were best achieved using a calibration marker and a metaphyseal short femoral stem design.

Abstract
Secure fixation by inserting a half-pin into the iliac crest as a pelvic external fixator is important. However, the thickness of the iliac bone depends on its location and this makes it difficult to insert a half-pin accurately. The iliac crest is especially narrow in the paediatric pelvis, making it difficult to insert the half-pin accurately compared with an adult pelvis. A case of pelvic external fixation is described for a paediatric pelvic fracture in this report, in which preoperative planning for half-pin insertion was performed accurately using a preoperative three-dimensional CT based on an intraoperative support device that uses the functional pelvic plane as a reference.

[PMID: 36707864 PMCID: PMC9881281 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03552-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malalignments of the lower extremity are common reasons for orthopedic consultation because it may lead to osteoarthritis in adulthood. An accurate and reliable radiological assessment of lower limb alignment in children and adolescents is essential for clinical decision-making on treatment of limb deformities and for regular control after a surgical intervention. OBJECTIVE First, does the analysis of full-length standing anteroposterior radiographs show a good intra- and interobserver reliability? Second, which parameter is most susceptible to observer-dependent errors? Third, what is the Standard Error of Measurement (SEM95%) of the absolute femoral and tibial length? METHODS Two observers evaluated digital radiographs of 144 legs from 36 children and adolescents with pathological valgus alignment before a temporary hemiepiphysiodesis and before implant removal. Parameters included Mechanical Femorotibial Angle (MFA), Mechanical Axis Deviation (MAD), mechanical Lateral Distal Femoral Angle (mLDFA), mechanical Medial Proximal Tibial Angle (mMPTA), mechanical Lateral Proximal Femoral Angle (mLPFA), mechanical Lateral Distal Tibial Angle (mLDTA), Joint Line Convergence Angle (JLCA), femur length, tibial length. Intra- and interobserver reliability (ICC2,1), SEM95% and proportional errors were calculated. RESULTS The intra- and interobserver reliability for almost all measurements was found to be good to excellent (Intra-ICC2,1: 0.849-0.999; Inter-ICC2,1: 0.864-0.996). The SEM95% of both observers was found to be ± 1.39° (MFA), ± 3.31 mm (MAD), ± 1.06° (mLDFA) and ± 1.29° (mMPTA). The proportional error of MAD and MFA is comparable (47.29% vs. 46.33%). The relevant knee joint surface angles show a lower proportional error for mLDFA (42.40%) than for mMPTA (51.60%). JLCA has a proportional error of 138%. Furthermore, the SEM95% for the absolute values of the femoral and tibial length was 4.53 mm for the femur and 3.12 mm for the tibia. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, a precise malalignment measurement and the knowledge about SEM95% of the respective parameters are crucial for correct surgical or nonsurgical treatment. The susceptibility to error must be considered when interpreting malalignment analysis and must be considered when planning a surgical intervention. The results of the present study elucidate that MAD and MFA are equally susceptible to observer-dependent errors. This study shows good to excellent intra- and interobserver ICCs for all leg alignment parameters and joint surface angles, except for JLCA. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered with DRKS (German Clinical Trials Register) under the number DRKS00015053. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I, Diagnostic Study.

More than a feeling?-Overruling the preoperatively templated offset option leads to a minor offset increase in short stem total hip arthroplasty. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023; 143:519-527. [PMID: 34997306 PMCID: PMC9886579 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-04331-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Short stems are increasingly used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) because of advantages in bone and soft tissue preservation and reconstruction of hip geometry. Digital templating is essential in determining the correct offset option and stem size in THA. However, the preoperative template sizes might be intraoperatively overruled. PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated the effect of intraoperative overruling of the preoperatively templated offset option of a short curved stem on hip offset, leg length, implant positioning, and femoral canal fill index. The overruling was performed in case of intraoperative instability, telescoping, or both. A series of 1052 consecutive THAs with a cementless short curved stem and press-fit cup was retrospectively screened. One hundred patients with unilateral THA and a contralateral native and morphologically healthy hip as a reference met the inclusion criteria. Measurements were carried out on preoperative and 3 months anterior-posterior postoperative radiographs. Patients were divided according to the overruling by offset option or stem size. RESULTS Hip offset was increased in all groups, but only with significant increase if an offset option + 1 was used intraoperatively (p = 0.025). LLD was restored without significance in all groups (p = 0.323; p = 0.157). CONCLUSION Intraoperative overruling of the preoperative digital template in cementless short stem total hip arthroplasty results in an increase of hip offset compared to a contralateral healthy hip. However, the increase is marginal and clearly under 5 mm compared to the contralateral healthy hip.

Abstract
Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the most successful orthopaedic surgery of the past century. The current study aimed to compare the accuracy of digital planning using 2D versus 3D templating. Materials and methods Ninety-five THAs in 90 patients were included in the current study. Pre- and post-operative X-rays (in two planes) and low-dose rotation computed tomography scans from hip to foot were performed. Paired t-test and regression analyses were conducted to compare 2D and 3D templating accuracy of the definitive implant. Results Cup size planned both with 2D (p < 0.0001) and 3D (p = 0.012) templating was significantly different from the definitively used cup size. The difference between the 2D-planned and implanted stem size (p < 0.0001) was statistically significant. In contrast, there were no significant differences in the 3D-planned and implanted stem size (p = 0.181). Three-dimensional templating showed significantly higher accuracy than 2D templating in terms of cup size (1.1 ± 1.4 versus 1.7 ± 1.8; p = 0.007) and stem size (0.3 ± 0.6 versus 0.7 ± 0.7; p < 0.0001). With increasing body mass index (BMI), 2D templating of the stem became more inaccurate (p = 0.041). Remarkably, 3D templating remained accurate for all components (stem, p = 0.533; cup, p = 0.479) despite increasing BMI. Conclusion Despite extended planning time and increased exposure to radiation, 3D-based planning showed higher accuracy than 2D templating, especially in obese patients. On the basis of our results, we believe that 3D-based pre-operative planning in THA is justifiable and beneficial in patients with increased BMI. Level of Evidence III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 3D reconstruction technology could revolutionise medicine. Within surgery, 3D reconstruction has a growing role in operative planning and procedures, surgical education and training as well as patient engagement. Whilst virtual and 3D printed models are already used in many surgical specialities, oesophagogastric surgery has been slow in their adoption. Therefore, the authors undertook a scoping review to clarify the current and future roles of 3D modelling in oesophagogastric surgery, highlighting gaps in the literature and implications for future research. METHODS A scoping review protocol was developed using a comprehensive search strategy based on internationally accepted guidelines and tailored for key databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Elsevier Scopus and ISI Web of Science). This is available through the Open Science Framework (osf.io/ta789) and was published in a peer-reviewed journal. Included studies underwent screening and full text review before inclusion. A thematic analysis was performed using pre-determined overarching themes: (i) surgical training and education, (ii) patient education and engagement, and (iii) operative planning and surgical practice. Where applicable, subthemes were generated. RESULTS A total of 56 papers were included. Most research was low-grade with 88% (n = 49) of publications at or below level III evidence. No randomised control trials or systematic reviews were found. Most literature (86%, n = 48) explored 3D reconstruction within operative planning. These were divided into subthemes of pre-operative (77%, n = 43) and intra-operative guidance (9%, n = 5). Few papers reported on surgical training and education (14%, n = 8), and were evenly subcategorised into virtual reality simulation (7%, n = 4) and anatomical teaching (7%, n = 4). No studies utilising 3D modelling for patient engagement and education were found. CONCLUSION The use of 3D reconstruction is in its infancy in oesophagogastric surgery. The quality of evidence is low and key themes, such as patient engagement and education, remain unexplored. Without high quality research evaluating the application and benefits of 3D modelling, oesophagogastric surgery may be left behind.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy and the inter- and intra-observer reliability of preoperative digital 2D templating in prosthesis size prediction for the planning of cemented or uncemented THA. This study was registered in the NIHR PROSPERO database (ID: CRD42020216649) and conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. A search of electronic databases in March 2021 found 29 papers overall. The quality of evidence was assessed using the IHE Quality Appraisal of Case Series Studies Checklist and the CASP Randomised Controlled Trials Checklist. A meta-analysis was conducted, and the accuracy was presented as proportions and the inter- and intra-observer reliability were measured using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Accuracy within one prosthesis size (±1) for cemented stems was 0.89 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83–0.95), cemented cups 0.78 (95% CI 0.67–0.89), uncemented stems 0.74 (95% CI 0.66–0.82) and uncemented cups 0.73 (95% CI 0.67–0.79) (test of group differences: p = 0.010). Inter-observer reliability (ICC) for uncemented cups was 0.88 (95% CI 0.85–0.91), uncemented stems 0.86 (95% CI 0.81–0.91), cemented stems 0.69 (95% CI 0.54–0.84) and cemented cups 0.68 (95% CI 0.55–0.81) (test of group differences: p = 0.004). Due to lack of data, intra-observer reliability (ICC) could only be calculated for uncemented prostheses, which for the stems was 0.90 (95% CI 0.88–0.92) and for the cups was 0.87 (95% CI 0.83–0.90) (test of group differences: p = 0.124). The accuracy of preoperative digital templating is greater for cemented prostheses, but the inter-observer reliability is greater for uncemented prostheses. The intra-observer reliability showed a high level of agreement for uncemented prostheses.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to report patient-reported outcome measurements in a large group of patients who underwent robotic-arm assisted primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Prospectively collected data were retrospectively reviewed between April 2012 and May 2017. Primary THAs using the Mako robotic-arm assisted (Mako Surgical Corp [Stryker]) with minimum 2-year follow-up for Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12) were included. Exclusion criteria were body mass index (BMI) of 40 kg/m2 or greater, age younger than 21 years, workers' compensation, or unwillingness to participate. Visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain and patient satisfaction score were obtained. Intraoperative measurements for leg length, global offset, acetabular inclination, and version were documented. A total of 501 hips were included, with 57.29% of the patients being female. Mean follow-up was 43.99±15.59 months. Mean age was 58.70±9.41 years. Mean BMI was 28.41±4.55 kg/m2. Mean HHS was 90.87±13.45, mean FJS-12 was 79.97±25.87, mean VAS score was 1.20±2.06, and mean patient satisfaction score was 8.85±2.08. Intraoperative values for acetabular inclination and version were 40.0°±2.2° and 20.5°±2.4°, respectively. The rate of revision due to instability was 0.2%. Patients who received primary robotic-arm assisted THA reported excellent results at 44-month follow-up for multiple patient-reported outcome measurements. Consistency in acetabular cup placement accuracy was achieved regarding the Lewinnek and Callanan safe zones. [Orthopedics. 2021;44(2):70-76.].
