Abstract
BACKGROUND Persisting groin pain post total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common and complex issue that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. Acetabular component positioning is often implicated. AIMS AND METHODS We used a previously well described and validated functional positioning protocol to determine if functional acetabular malpositioning was a factor in groin pain post THA and hence to determine if acetabular revision would be indicated. We compared patient-specific functional acetabular positioning to traditional CT evaluation of cup position and assessment of anterior cup overhang. RESULTS 39 patients with groin pain post-THA were investigated. Functional acetabular malpositioning was diagnosed in 31% (12/39). Revision THA was performed in those 12 patients, resulting in resolution of functional malpositioning (100%), with an overall accuracy of 5.6° (range 1-12), and resolution of groin pain in 67% (8/12). 33% (4/12) of the revised implants had functional positioning located outside the traditional "40/20 zone". Comparison with CT indicated that 40% (4/10) of implants with anterior overhang were well positioned, however only 50% (6/12) of functionally malpositioned implants had CT evidence of anterior cup prominence. Of the 8/12 revision patients who had resolution of their groin pain, only 1 had cup prominence. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that the utilisation of a patient specific functional positioning algorithm in the analysis of persistent groin pain following THA can assist in identifying the underlying cause of pain and help to guide treatment. For a functionally malpositioned acetabulum, revision surgery offers a potential resolution of groin pain.

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

Pansard E, Vigan M, Bauer T. Do the sizes of total hip arthroplasty implants match between 3D planning software and 2D templating? Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2024; 110:103744. [PMID: 37923177 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2023.103744] [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: 07/26/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The use of three-dimensional (3D) planning before a total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedure is becoming increasingly popular as it offers several theoretical benefits: better restoration of a patient's anatomy, fewer intraoperative problems, and lower THA cost. It is said to be more accurate than two-dimensional (2D) planning, but as far as we know, no study has investigated how well the implant sizes match between 3D and 2D planning for a surgeon who is just starting to use 3D planning. Consistent implant sizes would make it easier for a surgeon to transition from one system to another. This led us to conduct a retrospective comparative study to: (1) compare how well the implant sizes match between a 3D planning system and a 2D planning method (conventional radiography using templates); (2) determine if the sizes planned on the 3D system match the implants that were used in the patient; (3) determine if the sizes planned with the 2D method match the implants that were used in the patient. HYPOTHESIS There is a good match in the implant sizes between the 3D and 2D planning. METHODS A retrospective observational, single-surgeon study was done with patients who underwent THA between January 2019 and September 2021 at a single teaching hospital. For each patient, the size of the THA implants was planned preoperatively in 3D using proprietary software (Optimized Positioning System™, Corin) and 2D templating. These patients were the first to be operated on by this surgeon based on 3D planning. RESULTS Forty-nine patients were included. The implant size matched exactly between the two planning methods for 20% (10/49) of cups [one size larger with 3D in 35% of hips (17/49) and two sizes larger in 20% of hips (10/49)], for 53% (26/49) of femoral stems [one size smaller with 3D in 53% of hips (26/49)] and for 14% (7/49) of complete THA implant systems (cup, femoral stem, femoral head). The size planned in 3D was the same as the cup size implanted in 51% (25/49) of hips, as the femoral stem size in 65% (32/49) and as the complete THA system in 22% (11/49). The cup was within one size in 88% (43/49) of hips and the femoral stem was within one size in 98% (48/49) of hips. The size planned in 2D was the same as the cup size implanted in 45% (22/49) of hips, as the femoral stem size in 63% (32/49) and as the complete THA system in 18% (9/49). The cup was within one size in 86% (42/49) of hips and the femoral stem was within one size in 96% (47/49) of hips with 2D templating. There was no statistically significant difference in the size matching between the 2D and 3D techniques for either the implanted cup (p=0.5) or the implanted femoral stem (p=0.8). CONCLUSION There is a poor match between the implant sizes determined by 3D and 2D planning. Based on our findings, the shift from 2D templating to 3D planning must be done gradually given the learning curve associated with 3D systems. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III; comparative retrospective study.

A Longitudinal Assessment Raising Awareness of the Postoperative Period. J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00199-2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinopelvic characteristics, including sacral slope (SS), are commonly evaluated in different positions pre-total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to: 1) investigate the change in spinopelvic parameters at 7 days (early) and 1-year post-THA; and 2) identify patient characteristics associated with a change in SS of more than 7° post-THA. METHODS We prospectively studied 250 patients who underwent unilateral THA [132 women, age 66 years (range, 32 to 88)] and underwent biplanar images preoperatively and at 7 days and 1-year post-THA. Parameters measured included pelvic incidence, standing lumbar lordosis, SS, and proximal femoral angle (PFA). A SS change ≥ 7° was considered the threshold as it would result in more than a 5° change in cup orientation. RESULTS Early post-THA SSstanding remained within ± 6º from preoperative measurements in 75% of patients, reduced by ≥ 7° in 9%, and increased by ≥ 7° in 16%. Those that showed a reduction in SS had the lowest PFA and the highest SS pre-THA (P = .028, .107, and < 0.001, respectively). From 7 days until the 1-year mark, pelvic tilt increased, SS reduced (mean: -4º, range: -29 to 17º, P < .001), and patients stood with greater hip extension ΔPFAstanding (mean 7°, range: -34 to 37°, P < .001). At 1 year, SSseated had remained within ± 6º, relative to the pre-THA value, in 49% of patients. CONCLUSIONS Standing spinopelvic characteristics, especially SSstanding, remain within ±6° in three-quarters of patients both early- and at 1-year post-THA. In the remaining cases, pelvic tilt changes significantly. In 9% of cases, SS reduces ≥ 7° early THA, probably due to the alleviation of fixed-flexion contractures. The SSseated changes by ≥ ± 7° in almost 50% of cases in this study, and its clinical value as a preoperative planning tool should be questioned. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, diagnostic study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Successful total hip arthroplasty relies on accurate preoperative planning. However, the conventional preoperative planning, a two-dimensional method using X-ray template, has shown poor reliability of predicting component size. To our knowledge, artificial intelligence technology assisted three-dimensional preoperative planning is promising to improve the accuracy of preoperative planning but there is a dearth of clinical evidence. Therefore, in this study we compared the prediction accuracy of these two maneuvers. METHODS We conducted a prospective study consisting of 117 consecutive patients who underwent a primary cementless total hip arthroplasty to compare the prediction accuracy of these two methods. The two-dimensional and artificial intelligence assisted three-dimensional planning results of the same patient were compared with the definitive implant size respectively. RESULTS The prediction accuracy of artificial intelligence assisted three-dimensional planning for cup and the stem sizes were 66.67% (78/117) and 65.81% (77/117), two-dimensional planning was 30.77% (36/117) and 37.61% (44/117) (p < 0.05). There were poor prediction results of two-dimensional planning in patients with hip dysplasia (p = 0.004, OR = 7.143) and excessive femoral anteversion (p = 0.012, OR = 1.052), meanwhile the failure risk of stem side two-dimensional planning increased as patients got older (p = 0.003, OR = 1.118). The accuracy of artificial intelligence assisted three-dimensional planning cannot be affected by above factors. CONCLUSIONS We confirmed that artificial intelligence assisted three-dimensional preoperative planning showed higher accuracy and stability than two-dimensional preoperative planning in primary cementless total hip arthroplasty. We believe artificial intelligence assisted three-dimensional preoperative planning technology provides surgeons a new reliable choice and offers advantages whether in simple or complicated cases.

Abstract
PURPOSE The number of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery after previous lumbar arthrodesis (LA) is rising. Literature suggests that LA may significantly impact pelvic biomechanics and potentially compromise the success of prosthetic hip replacement. This study aims to evaluate complication rates, dislocation rates, and revision rates in patients with prior LA undergoing THA surgery compared to those undergoing THA surgery without prior LA. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A PICOS template was developed to ensure a structured approach. The search for relevant studies was performed across five databases, including Pubmed, Scopus, Embase, Medline, and Cochrane. The selected articles were evaluated based on the Levels of Evidence (LoE) criteria. The Coleman Methodology Score (mCMS) was employed to analyze the retrospective studies. This systematic review and meta-analysis were registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). For the outcomes that allowed for a meta-analysis performed using R software, a p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The final analysis included seventeen studies comprising a total of 3,139,164 cases of THA. Among these cases, 3,081,137 underwent THA surgery alone, while 58,027 patients underwent THA with a previous LA. The study investigated various factors, including dislocation rates, revision rates, and complication, as well as the surgical approach and type of implant used, for both the THA-only group and the group of patients who underwent THA with prior LA. The analysis revealed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) for all variables studied, favoring the group of patients who underwent THA alone without prior LA. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated a statistically significant superiority in all analyzed outcomes for patients who underwent THA-only without prior LA. Specifically, patients with isolated THA implants experienced significantly lower incidences of THA dislocation, wound complications, periprosthetic joint infection, revision, and mechanical complications.

Some Offset Restoration Options Can Paradoxically Lead to Decreased Range of Motion in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: A 3-Dimensional Computer Simulation Study. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:514-519.e3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In total hip arthroplasty (THA), femoral offset restoration results in optimal biomechanics and range of motion (ROM) without bone-bone impingement. We hypothesized that differences in implant design features significantly affect bone-bone impingement risk in primary THA. METHODS This retrospective computer simulation study included a cohort of 43 primary robotic arm-assisted THA. Considering sagittal pelvic tilt, we measured the maximum external rotation at 0° hip flexion and the maximum internal rotation at both 90° and 100° hip flexion before any bone-bone impingement occurred. To influence the offset, we included neutral or extended polyethylene liners, neutral or plus prosthetic heads, standard or high-offset stems, and stems with 132° or 127° neck angles. RESULTS Extended polyethylene liner use resulted in decreased bone-bone impingement for both stems but also decreased prosthetic ROM in hip extension (mean -4.5 to 5°, range -10 to 0°) and hip flexion (mean -3 to 3.7°, range -10 to 0°) due to decreases in head diameter. Using a plus head or different stem offset/neck angle options resulted in either (1) no improvement in ROM (stem 1: 60%; stem 2: 28%) or (2) a paradoxical increase in bone-bone impingement (stem 1 with 127°: 19% and stem 2 with high offset option: 7%). CONCLUSION Counterintuitively, a subset of patients experience a paradoxical increase in bone-bone impingement when transitioning from standard to high-offset or varus necks due to the pelvic and proximal femoral bone shape. For this group of patients, preoperative personalized 3-dimensional modeling may help guide implant choice for optimizing outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anatomical cup implantation is a promising approach in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and improves functional outcomes. OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the cup position and functional outcomes in primary THA with preoperative dynamic 3D planning. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 54 hips in 48 patients who underwent primary THA with anatomical cup implantation (mean follow-up time: 52 months). Cup positions were evaluated based on patient-specific morphology, the acetabular fossa and the combined anteversion test. Functional outcomes were assessed after THA. The paired-sample t-test was performed for surgical and contralateral native hips among 42 patients who underwent unilateral THA. RESULTS Two hips suffered intraoperative trochanteric fracture, but no hip dislocations occurred. No patients reported groin or thigh pain, and all patients were capable of deep squatting and one-leg standing. The mean Harris hip score, WOMAC score, and physical SF-36 score were 94.46 ± 6.16, 10.41 ± 3.62, and 95.19 ± 8.74, respectively. Except for acetabular offset, THA restored biomechanics to those of contralateral native hip, including cup anteversion, abduction, femoral offset and acetabular height (P> 0.05). CONCLUSION This study provided evidence for the application of anatomical cup implantation assisted with dynamic 3D planning in primary THA, which restored morphology and improved functional outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of 3D-printed Patient-Specific Instruments (PSI) has been investigated to enhance the postoperative functional results in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and has been recognized as an innovative approach for the optimal alignment of hip implant components. Point-of-care production is gradually becoming the norm for PSI manufacturing. The purpose of this article is to assess the accuracy and safety of PSI for total hip arthroplasty performed at the point-of-care in Vietnam. METHODS 34 THA cases were assessed in this prospective study. A template for the size and orientation of the implant and the design of the PSI was generated using data from preoperative 3D computed tomography (CT) scanning of the lower limb. The principal surgeon determined the implants' position and PSI design directly using the software. The PSI is then produced using a 3D-compatible resin printer in our manufacturing hospital. The PSI, consisting of an acetabulum and a femoral component placed press-fit on the bony surface, guided surgeons to precisely ream the acetabulum and cut the femoral neck according to the pre-planned plane. Postoperative CT scanning was obtained and superimposed onto the 3D model of the implant to evaluate the accuracy of the procedure by comparing the orientation values of the cup and the alignment of the stem between the planned and the actual results. Intra- and postoperative clinical parameters of surgery, including surgical time, intra-operative blood loss, complications, and the first ambulation, were also recorded to evaluate the safety of the surgery. RESULTS The preparation for PSI required an average of 3 days. 94% of cup size and 91% of stem size were correctly selected. The mean values of postoperative inclination and anteversion were 44.2° ± 4.1° and 19.2° ± 5.6°, respectively. 64.7% of cases deviated from planned within the ± 50 range and 94.1% within the ± 10° range. There was no significant statistical difference between the planned and the achieved values of stem anteversion, osteotomy height, and leg length discrepancy (p > 0.05). The average surgical time was 82.5° ± 10.8 min, and the intraoperative blood loss was estimated at 317.7° ± 57.6 ml. 64.7% of patients could walk on the day of surgery. There were no complications reported. CONCLUSIONS The point-of-care manufactured PSI is a useful solution for improving the accuracy of total hip arthroplasty surgery, especially in restoring implant orientation and reducing leg length discrepancy. However, long-term clinical follow-up evaluation is needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of this approach.

Arthroplast Today 2023; 24:101260. [PMID: 38023640 PMCID: PMC10652126 DOI: 10.1016/j.artd.2023.101260] [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: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background An important aspect of preoperative planning for total hip arthroplasty is templating. Although two-dimensional (2D) templating remains the gold standard, computerized tomography (CT)-based three-dimensional (3D) templating is a novel preoperative planning technique. This study aims to compare the accuracy of a 2D and 3D plan using an anterior approach for the placement of the same uncemented prosthesis. Methods Two consecutive cohorts of 100 patients each were retrospectively analyzed. We analyzed the accuracy of the size of the implant (stem, cup, head), the length of head, and offset. As a secondary criterion, we analyzed the rates of stems with more than 3° of varus, fracture, and/or subsidence at 3 months postoperatively. Results Within the exact size, the accuracy of the stem and cup size with the 2D plan was 69% and 56%, respectively. With the 3D plan accuracy being 88% (P = .0046) and 96% (P < .0001), respectively. Regarding size and length of the implant head, accuracy was 86% and 82% with the 2D plan and 100% (P < .0001) and 94% (P = .016), respectively, with the 3D plan. The offset of the implants increased beyond 3 mm in 23% of patients in the 2D group and in 5% of patients in the 3D group (P = .0003). The rate of varus stems was 10% in the 2D group and 2% in the 3D group (P = .03). Two fractures and one case of subsidence occurred in the 2D group. None were identified in the 3D cohort. Conclusions A CT-based 3D plan is more accurate for implant size selection, allows better prosthetic offset, and reduces the rate of varus stems.

Abstract
The range of applications of digital surface models of the bones in science and industry is wide. Three-dimensional reconstructions of bones are used in biomechanics, biomedical engineering, medical image processing, orthopedics, traumatology, radiology, patient education, anatomy, anthropometry, forensic anthropology, ergonomics, usability and human factors engineering, or accident and injury analysis and prevention. No open access database or repository of skeletal surface models of the full lower extremities exists. Therefore, the objective of this publication was to provide access to consistent complete bone models of the pelvis and lower limbs of multiple subjects, including biometric data. Segmentations and surface models of the bones of the lower extremities of more than twenty subjects were created from open access postmortem whole-body computed tomography scans. The database provides a broad range of applications by giving access to the data of the complete process chain, from the raw medical imaging data through the segmentations to the surface models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) has the potential to improve the accuracy of implant positioning in total hip arthroplasty (THA). This prospective clinical study aimed to develop artificial intelligence to increase PSI production efficiency and assess accuracy, clinical outcomes, and learning curves. METHODS A convolutional neural network was applied to automatically process computer tomography images. PSI size and position were designed to guide the acetabular preparation and femoral neck resection. Thirty patients who underwent PSI-assisted THAs were matched to thirty patients who underwent free-hand THAs, and the component positions, as well as radiographic and clinical outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS PSI-assisted THA was significantly more accurate than free-hand THA at achieving the target component position. The mean absolute errors of cup inclination (P = .004) and anteversion (P < .001) were significantly smaller in the PSI group with fewer outliers. Calcar length (P = .002) and neck length (P = .026) were also more accurate in the PSI group. The leg length discrepancy was significantly lower in the PSI group (P = .002). There were no significant differences in operation time, blood loss, leg length discrepancy, or cup position among the first, second, and last 10 cases. CONCLUSION PSI-assisted THA offered more accurate component positions and better radiographic outcomes than free-hand THA. There was no evidence of a learning curve. Our findings suggest that PSI is a convenient and practical option to help surgeons achieve accurate surgical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the precision and feasibility of patient-specific instruments (PSI) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) as compared to the traditional free-hand (FRH) approach. METHODS During the period of January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022, a randomized allocation was used for patients receiving unilateral primary THA to either the PSI or conventional operation group. The placement and size of the PSI were specifically chosen to guide femoral neck resection and prosthesis implantation. The study analyzed component positions and evaluated radiographic and clinical outcomes in 30 patients who received PSI-assisted THAs and 30 patients who received FRH THAs. This study was registered at China Clinical Trial Registry (number: ChiCTR2300072325) on June 9th, 2023. RESULTS The use of PSI in THA resulted in significantly higher precision in achieving the desired component position as compared to the FRH approach. The PSI group showed significantly smaller absolute errors of femoral anteversion (p < 0.001). No significant differences were found in operation time, intra-operative blood loss, hospitalization duration, or time to walk after surgery. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the application of patient-specific instruments in THA provides a simple and reliable solution to enhance the precision of femoral prosthesis placement with high accuracy and feasibility. This study highlights the potential benefits of using the PSI in THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative stem anteversion, which is the angle between the lower leg axis and the trial-stem axis with hip flexion and adduction, is generally evaluated by the surgeon's visual estimation during total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the conventional approach can be influenced by knee osteoarthritis or uncertain surgeon's observation point. Therefore, we developed a new method for measuring the stem anteversion angle in the neutral hip position using an original rod attached to the trial-stem perpendicular to the long axis and parallel to the stem neck. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of our method in comparison with the conventional method of measuring intraoperative stem anteversion angle. METHODS We measured the intraoperative stem anteversion angle in consecutive 106 hips of 106 patients who underwent cementless primary THA with a tapered wedge stem. Absolute error in the stem anteversion angle was expressed as the difference between intraoperative (common vs. neutral hip positions) and postoperative computed tomography measurements, i.e., true stem anteversion. Additionally, we investigated the factors affecting these errors. RESULTS The absolute error of measurement was significantly smaller in the neutral hip position than in the common position (3.0° ± 2.5° vs. 8.0° ± 3.9°; p < 0.0001). The factor associated with the error was advanced knee osteoarthritis in the common position, whereas it was not statistically significant in the neutral hip position. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that the error in the intraoperative measurement of stem anteversion is decreased by measuring in the neutral hip position during THA.

Abstract
Background Accurate acetabular cup orientation is associated with decreased revision rates and improved outcomes of primary total hip arthroplasty. This study assesses surgeon's ability to estimate both the acetabular component inclination and anteversion angles via intraoperative fluoroscopy (IF) images. Methods We surveyed orthopedic surgeons to estimate acetabular component inclination and anteversion based on 20 IF images of total hip arthroplasty through a direct anterior approach. Postoperative computed-tomography scans were used to calculate the true inclination and anteversion component angles. The absolute difference between the true and estimated values was calculated to determine the mean and standard deviation of the survey results. Interrater reliability was determined through interclass correlation coefficients. Results A majority of surgeons preferred the direct anterior approach (83.3%) and utilized IF during surgery (70%). Surgeons surveyed were on average 5.9° away from the true value of inclination (standard deviation = 4.7) and 8.8° away from the true value of anteversion (standard deviation = 6.0). Respondents were within 5° of both inclination and anteversion in 19.7% of cases, and within 10° in 57.3% of cases. All surgeons were determined to have poor reliability in estimating anteversion (interclass correlation coefficient < 0.5). Only 2 surgeons were determined to have moderate reliability when estimating inclination. Conclusions Surgeons, when solely relying on IF for the estimation of anteversion and inclination, are unreliable. Utilization of other techniques in conjunction with IF would improve observer reliability.

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2023; 109:103468. [PMID: 36441035 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2022.103468] [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: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION In recent years, different alignments have been described for acetabular components in total hip arthroplasty (THA), to reduce the risk of impingement and edge loading. Currently there are 3 main options: mechanical (40° inclination/15° anteversion relative to the anterior pelvic plane), anatomic (40° inclination/anteversion parallel to the transverse ligament) and combined kinematic (according to spinal-pelvic parameters). There are no studies comparing all three in terms of impingement and edge loading. We therefore performed a retrospective case-control in-vitro study comparing risk of impingement and edge loading between the three alignments. HYPOTHESIS The study hypothesis was that combined kinematic alignment incurs significantly less risk of impingement and edge loading than do the other two types of alignment. METHODS Using a THA planning system, we simulated the 3 alignments for 90 patients undergoing THA with a ceramic-on-ceramic bearing between November 2019 and January 2022; for each simulation, we recorded any prosthetic impingement or edge loading. The study endpoint was the rate of prosthetic impingement or edge loading between the 3 alignments. RESULTS With the mechanical alignment, 31% of patients (28/90) showed risk of impingement and 22% (20/90) risk of edge loading. With the anatomic alignment, 31% of patients (28/90) showed risk of impingement and 23.3% (21/90) risk of edge loading. With the combined kinematic alignment, 12.2% of patients (11/90) showed risk of impingement and 8.9% (8/90) risk of edge loading. Pairwise comparison showed that the combined kinematic alignment was associated with significantly less impingement and edge loading than the mechanical alignment (respectively, p=0.03 and p=0.022) or the anatomic alignment (respectively, p=0.03 and p=0.014), while the mechanical and anatomic alignments did not differ. CONCLUSION A combined kinematic cup alignment in THA significantly reduced the risk of impingement and edge loading compared to mechanical and anatomic alignments. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, retrospective case-control study.

Abstract
The placement of acetabular implant components determines the short- and long-term outcomes of total hip replacement (THR) and a number of tools have been developed to assist the surgeon in achieving cup orientation to match the surgical plan. However, the accuracy and precision of 3D-CT for the measurement of acetabular component position and orientation is yet to be established. To investigate this, we compared measurements of cobalt chrome acetabular components implanted into 2 different bony pelvic models between a coordinate measuring Faro arm and 3 different low dose CT images, including 3D-CT, 2D anterior pelvic plane (APP) referenced CT and 2D scanner referenced (SR) CT. Intra-observer differences were assessed using the Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The effect of imaging the pelvis positioned in 3 different orientations within the CT scanner was also assessed. The measured parameters were the angles of inclination and version. 3D-CT measurements were found to closely match the "true values" of the component position measurements, compared with the 2D-CT methods. ICC analysis also showed good agreement between the coordinate measuring arm (CMA) and 3D-CT but poor agreement between the 2D SR method, in the results from two observers. When using the coordinate system of the CT scanner, the measurements consistently produced the greatest error; this method yielded values up to 34° different from the reference digitising arm. However, the difference between the true inclination and version angles and those measured from 3D APP CT was below half a degree in all cases. We concluded that low radiation dose 3D-CT is a validated reference standard for the measurement of acetabular cup orientation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip revision surgery is the final treatment option for the failure of artificial hip joints, but it is more difficult than the initial operation. For patients with hip joint loosening around the prosthesis combined with large inflammatory pseudotumours and large segment bone defects, hip revision is even more difficult, and clinical reports are rare.
CASE SUMMARY Male, 59 years old. The patient underwent left hip replacement 35 years ago and was now admitted to hospital due to massive masses in the left thigh, shortening of the left lower extremity, and pain and lameness of the left hip joint. X-ray, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed prosthesis loosening, left acetabular bone defect (Parprosky IIIB type), and a bone defect of the left proximal femur (Parprosky IIIA type). Inflammatory pseudotumours were seen in the left hip and left thigh. Hip revision surgery was performed using a 3D-printed custom acetabular prosthesis was used for hip revision surgery, which was produced by Arcam Electron Beam Melting system with Electron Beam Melting technology. The operation was successful, and the patient was followed up regularly after the operation. The custom-made acetabular prosthesis was well matched, the inflammatory pseudotumour was completely removed, the postoperative hip prosthesis was stable, and the old greater trochanter fracture was well reduced and fixed. The patient was partially weight-bearing with crutches 3 mo after the operation and walked with full weight-bearing after 6 mo. The hip prosthesis was stable, and there was no recurrence of inflammatory pseudotumours at the last follow-up. The Visual Analogue Scale was 3, and the Harris hip score was 90.
CONCLUSION The use of 3D-printed personalized custom prostheses for complex hip revision surgery has satisfactory surgical results and has great clinical application value.

Abstract
AIMS Debate continues as to the optimal orientation of the acetabular component in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and how to reliably achieve this. The primary objective of this study was to compare functional CT-based planning and patient-specific instruments with conventional THA using 2D templating. METHODS A pragmatic single-center, patient-assessor blinded, randomized control trial of patients undergoing THA was performed. 54 patients (aged 18-70) were recruited to either Corin Optimized Positioning System (OPS) or conventional THA. All patients received a cementless acetabular component. All patients underwent pre- and postoperative CT scans, and four functional X-rays. Patients in the OPS group had a 3D surgical plan and bespoke guides made. Patients in the conventional group had a surgical plan based on 2D templating X-rays. The primary outcome measure was the mean error in acetabular anteversion as determined by postoperative CT scan. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in the mean error in angle of acetabular anteversion when comparing OPS and conventional THA. In the OPS group, the achieved acetabular anteversion was within 10° of the planned anteversion in 96% of cases, compared with only 76% in the conventional group. The clinical outcomes were comparable between the groups. CONCLUSION Large errors in acetabular orientation appear to be reduced when CT-based planning and patient-specific instruments are used compared to the standard technique but no significant differences were seen in the mean error.

Abstract
» Conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) largely remains an unguided procedure dependent on the ability and experience of the surgeon. New technologies, such as patient-specific instrumentation and robotics, have shown promising results in improving implant positioning, which has the potential to improve patient outcomes. » The use of off-the-shelf (OTS) implant designs, however, limits the success of the technological advances since they are unable to recreate the native anatomy of the joint. The inability to restore femoral offset and version or the presence of implant-related leg-length discrepancies often lead to suboptimal surgical results that increase the risk of dislocation, fractures, and component wear, compromising postoperative functional outcomes and implant longevity. » A customized THA system, whereby the femoral stem is designed to restore patient anatomy, has recently been introduced. The THA system uses computed tomography (CT)-derived 3D imaging to create a custom stem, patient-specific component placement, and patient-specific instrumentation that matches the patient's native anatomy. » The purpose of this article is to provide information on the design and manufacturing process of this new THA implant, to illustrate the associated preoperative planning, and to describe the surgical technique; 3 surgical cases are presented.

Abstract
The causal effects of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on complications of arthroplasty are yet to be established. This study was the first to explore the causal effect of RA on mechanical complications of prosthesis through two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). In the MR analysis, RA was selected as the exposure in this study while single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) were selected as the instrumental variables (IVs). Summary statistics data on mechanical complications of prosthesis was extracted from publicly available GWAS data, including 463,010 European descent individuals. MR analysis was performed using the standard inverse variance weighted method (IVW). Furthermore, other methods (MR Egger, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode) were also done to verify the results. Finally, the sensitivity analysis was executed. Results of the standard IVW showed that RA possibly increases the risk of mechanical complications of prosthesis [OR = 1.000255; 95% CI = (1.0001035, 1.000406); p = 9.69 × 10 -4 ]. This outcome was also verified by other methods including weighted median [OR = 1.000285; 95% CI = (1.0001032, 1.000466); p = 1.41 × 10-3], simple mode [OR = 1.000446; 95% CI = (1.0001116, 1.000781); p = 1.04 × 10-2], and weighted mode [OR = 1.000285; 95% CI = (1.0001032, 1.000466); p = 2.29 × 10-3]. No heterogeneity and directional pleiotropy was observed upon sensitivity analysis, indicating the stability and reliability of the result. In summary, the present study showed that RA potentially increases the risks of complications of prosthesis, which might provide guidance in arthroplasty on RA patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a novel CT-based patient-specific femoral alignment guide (PSG) as compared with conventional pre-operative planning during THA. METHODS From March 2020 to September 2020, patients receiving unilateral primary THA were enrolled and randomly allocated to the conventional pre-operative planning group and the PSG group. Primary outcomes were radiographic measurements including lower limb length, femoral offset, femoral anteversion and stem varus/valgus angle, and post-operative perception of leg length discrepancy (LLD). Secondary outcomes were surgical time, intra-operative blood loss, total blood loss, visual analogue scale (VAS), and Harris Hip Score (HHS). The occurrence of post-operative complications was also recorded. RESULTS Of the 104 patients screened, 80 cases were enrolled for analysis. The demographics of the two groups were similar. The PSG group illustrated significant improvements (p < 0.001) in lower limb length, femoral offset, femoral anteversion, and stem varus/valgus angle. Patients in the PSG group showed more favourable HHS (p < 0.001) at seven day, four week, andthree month (p = 0.003) follow-up. Perception of LLD was found significantly lower in the PSG group at three tmonth (p = 0.043), six month (p = 0.025), and 12-month (p = 0.048) follow-up. Utilization of the PSG had no significant increase in operative time, intra-operative blood loss, total blood loss, or VAS. No complication was noted in either group. CONCLUSION Relative to conventional pre-operative planning, the application with the PSG could potentially provide a simple and reliable solution for improving femoral prosthesis orientation in THA with high accessibility and low healthcare costs.

Abstract
➤ The proper diagnosis and treatment of patients with concurrent hip and spine pathological processes can be challenging because of the substantial overlap in symptomatology. ➤ There is no consensus on which pathological condition should be addressed first. ➤ Factors such as advanced spinal degeneration, deformity, and prior fusion alter the biomechanics of the spinopelvic unit. Attention should be paid to recognizing these issues during the work-up for a total hip arthroplasty as they can result in an increased risk of dislocation. ➤ In patients with concurrent spine and hip degeneration, the surgeon must pay close attention to appropriate implant positioning and have consideration for implants with enhanced stability to minimize the risk of dislocation. ➤ A proper understanding of sagittal balance and restoration of this balance is integral to improving patient outcomes following spinal surgery. ➤ The advent of new imaging modalities, increased awareness of spinopelvic mobility, as well as a better understanding of sagittal alignment will hopefully improve our treatment of patients with hip-spine syndrome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The angle of acetabular (cup) radiographic inclination is an important measurement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures. Abnormal radiographic inclination is associated with dislocation, edge loading and higher failure rates. Consistently achieving a satisfactory radiographic inclination remains a challenge. Inclinometers have been increasingly used over the last decade. This paper reviews the literature to determine whether using an inclinometer improves the accuracy of acetabular cup inclination in THA. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed. The following search terms were used: ('hip' OR 'hip replacement' OR 'hip arthroplasty' OR 'primary hip replacement' OR 'THR' OR 'THA' OR 'Acetabular cup Inclination') AND ('Inclinometer'). Titles and abstracts were screened for relevance. Both radiographic and operative inclination comparisons were included. RESULTS 7 studies met the inclusion criteria. 2 were randomised control trials with level I evidence, and the remaining studies were cohort studies with level III/IV evidence. 5 were clinical and 2 experimental. In total there were 16 cohorts: 7 using an inclinometer, 6 freehand, and 3 using MAG techniques. All studies comparing radiographic inclination and 1 of 2 studies comparing operative inclination showed an improvement in the attainment of the optimal inclination. Similarly, the use of an inclinometer showed a reduction in the number of outliers when compared to MAG and freehand techniques. DISCUSSION This review demonstrates that using an inclinometer improved the surgeon's ability to achieve their intended inclination (both operative and radiographic) and reduced the incidence of positioning outside the safe-zone. However, only 2 of the studies were randomised control trials and these resulted in opposing conclusions. Therefore, further studies looking at the use of inclinometers would prove useful in understanding their true benefit.

Abstract
The functional positioning of components in a total hip arthroplasty (THA) and its relationship with individual lumbopelvic kinematics and a patient’s anatomy are being extensively studied. Patient-specific kinematic planning could be a game-changer; however, it should be accurately delivered intraoperatively. The main purpose of this study was to verify the reliability and accuracy of a patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and laser-guided technique to replicate preoperative dynamic planning. Thirty-six patients were prospectively enrolled and received dynamic hip preoperative planning based on three functional lateral spinopelvic X-rays and a low dose CT scan. Three-dimensional (3D) printed PSI guides and laser-guided instrumentation were used intraoperatively. The orientation of the components, osteotomy level and change in hip length and offset were measured on postoperative CT scans and compared with the planned preoperative values. The length of surgery was compared with that of a matched group of thirty-six patients who underwent a conventional THA. The mean absolute deviation from the planned inclination and anteversion was 3.9° and 4.4°, respectively. In 92% of cases, both the inclination and anteversion were within +/− 10° of the planned values. Regarding the osteotomy level, offset change and limb length change, the mean deviation was, respectively, 1.6 mm, 2.6 mm and 2 mm. No statistically significant difference was detected when comparing the planned values with the achieved values. The mean surgical time was 71.4 min in the PSI group and 60.4 min in the conventional THA group (p < 0.05). Patient-specific and laser-guided instrumentation is safe and accurately reproduces dynamic planning in terms of the orientation of the components, osteotomy level, leg length and offset. Moreover, the increase in surgical time is negligible.

Abstract
Aims Traditionally, acetabular component insertion during total hip arthroplasty (THA) is visually assisted in the posterior approach and fluoroscopically assisted in the anterior approach. The present study examined the accuracy of a new surgeon during anterior (NSA) and posterior (NSP) THA using robotic arm-assisted technology compared to two experienced surgeons using traditional methods. Methods Prospectively collected data was reviewed for 120 patients at two institutions. Data were collected on the first 30 anterior approach and the first 30 posterior approach surgeries performed by a newly graduated arthroplasty surgeon (all using robotic arm-assisted technology) and was compared to standard THA by an experienced anterior (SSA) and posterior surgeon (SSP). Acetabular component inclination, version, and leg length were calculated postoperatively and differences calculated based on postoperative film measurement. Results Demographic data were similar between groups with the exception of BMI being lower in the NSA group (27.98 vs 25.2; p = 0.005). Operating time and total time in operating room (TTOR) was lower in the SSA (p < 0.001) and TTOR was higher in the NSP group (p = 0.014). Planned versus postoperative leg length discrepancy were similar among both anterior and posterior surgeries (p > 0.104). Planned versus postoperative abduction and anteversion were similar among the NSA and SSA (p > 0.425), whereas planned versus postoperative abduction and anteversion were lower in the NSP (p < 0.001). Outliers > 10 mm from planned leg length were present in one case of the SSP and NSP, with none in the anterior groups. There were no outliers > 10° in anterior or posterior for abduction in all surgeons. The SSP had six outliers > 10° in anteversion while the NSP had none (p = 0.004); the SSA had no outliers for anteversion while the NSA had one (p = 0.500). Conclusion Robotic arm-assisted technology allowed a newly trained surgeon to produce similarly accurate results and outcomes as experienced surgeons in anterior and posterior hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) offers great design freedom that enables objects with desired unique and complex geometry and topology to be readily and cost-effectively fabricated. The overall benefits of AM are well known, such as increased material and resource efficiency, enhanced design and production flexibility, the ability to create porous structures and on-demand manufacturing. When AM is applied to medical devices, these benefits are naturally assumed. However, hard clinical evidence collected from clinical trials and studies seems to be lacking and, as a result, systematic assessment is yet difficult. In the present work, we have reviewed 23 studies on the clinical use of AM patient-specific surgical guides (PSGs) for the mandible surgeries (n = 17) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) patient-specific implants (PSIs) (n = 6) with respect to expected clinical outcomes. It is concluded that the data published on these AM medical devices are often lacking in comprehensive evaluation of clinical outcomes. A complete set of clinical data, including those on time management, costs, clinical outcomes, range of motion, accuracy of the placement with respect to the pre-operative planning, and extra complications, as well as manufacturing data are needed to demonstrate the real benefits gained from applying AM to these medical devices and to satisfy regulatory requirements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a known correlation between the procedures of lumbar spinal fusion (LSF), total hip arthroplasty (THA) and the complication of hip dislocation and revision occurring in patients. However there is no consensus as to whether the risk of this complication is higher if THA is performed before or after LSF. This meta-analysis aims to determine the influence of surgical sequence of lumbar spinal fusion and total hip arthroplasty on the rates of hip dislocation and revisions. METHODS A meta-analysis was conducted with a multi-database search (PubMed, OVID, EMBASE, Medline) according to PRISMA guidelines on 27th May 2020. Data from all published literature meeting inclusion criteria were extracted and analyzed with an inverse variance statistical model. FINDINGS A total of 25,558 subsequent LSF and 43,880 prior LSF THA patients were included in this study. There was no statistically significant difference in all-cause revisions (OR = 0.86, 95%CI: 0.48-1.54, p = 0.61), dislocation (OR = 0.82, 95%CI: 0.25-2.72, p = 0.75) or aseptic loosening (OR = 1.14, 95%CI: 0.94-1.38, p = 0.17) when comparing patients receiving LSF subsequent versus prior to THA. CONCLUSION Lumbar spinal fusion remains a risk factor for dislocation and revision of total hip arthroplasties regardless of whether it is performed prior to or after THA. Further preoperative assessment and altered surgical technique may be required in patients having THA who have previously undergone or are likely to undergo LSF in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetabular malpositioning in total hip arthroplasty (THA) can result in edge loading, leading to increased wear, pseudotumours and bearing failure. Historically Lewinnek's safe zone has been the goal for optimal THA cup positioning; however, research indicates that one generic safe zone is not ideal. In hip resurfacing (HR) there is a lack of data regarding optimal position, and studies indicate that edge loading is related to increased inclination. METHODS We used a functional positioning protocol to produce patient-specific (PS) dynamic analyses, identifying individual functional ideal acetabular zones. We hypothesized that identifying and implanting into PS functional ideal zones would result in decreased edge loading and improved clinical outcomes. Fifteen adept HRs were implanted using a PS functional positioning protocol. As plans were created for standard THA acetabular position, adjustments were made intra-operatively. RESULTS Dynamic post-operative analyses showed 80% of implants were appropriately positioned. The remaining 20% had edge loading, where implants had inclination ≤5° of planned positioning and 10° of planned anteversion. 60% were ≤10° of planned inclination and anteversion. No pre-operative planned positions were within 'Lewinneks's zone', indicating its questionable relevance, especially in HR. A total of 20% of patients developed pain; however, at 1 year post-operatively all patients recorded improved Oxford hip scores. CONCLUSION This study confirms that functional positioning in HR consistently results in improved precision and accuracy in achieving the functional acetabular ideal zone, leading to improved clinical outcomes and prevention of edge loading.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ideal surgical positioning and placement of implants during arthroplasty are crucial for long-term survival and optimal functional outcomes. Inadequate bone stock or defects, and anatomical variations can influence the outcomes. Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is an evolving technology that could provide patient-specific instrumentation and implants for arthroplasty, taking into account anatomical variations and defects. However, its application in this field is still not adequately studied and described. The present review was conceptualised to assess the practicality, the pros and cons and the current status of usage of 3DP in the field of hip and knee arthroplasties and joint reconstruction surgeries. METHODS A PubMed database search was conducted and a total number of 135 hits were obtained, out of which only 30 articles were relevant. These 30 studies were assessed to obtain the qualitative evidence of the applicability and the current status of 3D printing in arthroplasty. RESULTS Currently, 3DP is used for preoperative planning with 3D models, to assess bone defects and anatomy, to determine the appropriate cuts and to develop patient-specific instrumentation and implants (cages, liners, tibial base plates, femoral stem). Its models can be used for teaching and training young surgeons, as well as patient education regarding the surgical complexities. The outcomes of using customised instrumentations and implants have been promising and 3D printing can evolve into routine practice in the years to come. CONCLUSION 3D printing in arthroplasty is an evolving field with promising results; however, current evidence is insufficient to determine significant advantages that can be termed cost effective and readily available.

A Comparative Study of Patients' Subjective Feelings Toward Total Hip Arthroplasty with Patient-Specific Instruments and Traditional Total Hip Arthroplasty. Orthop Surg 2020; 12:269-276. [PMID: 32077264 PMCID: PMC7031611 DOI: 10.1111/os.12626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2019] [Revised: 12/25/2019] [Accepted: 01/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether differences exist in patients' subjective feelings, daily life, and surgical satisfaction between those who underwent surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) using patient-specific instruments (PSIs) and those who underwent traditional surgical total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS We selected 30 adult patients with various types of DDH who underwent surgery during 2016-2017 at our hospital. The patients were divided into PSI surgery group and the traditional surgery group. All patients underwent follow-up, and we collected data on the Harris Hip Score, Oxford University Hip Score (OHS), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, patient satisfaction score, intraoperative surgical time, amount of bleeding and postoperative complications incidence for both groups. We then performed statistical analyses on the data. RESULTS The Harris Hip Score, OHS, VAS score, patient satisfaction score, and mean bleeding volume did not differ statistically significantly (t-tests, P > 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between surgical groups in the incidence of complication and sub-trochanteric osteotomy, or in the surgical side (chi-square tests, P > 0.05). For the experimental group, the FJS-12 score was 80.0 ± 12.0, and for the control group the score was 68.5 ± 16.1. The operative time of the experimental group was 138.4 ± 32.2 min, while that of the control group was 88.9 ± 26.8 min. The values of these data differed significantly (t-tests, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The novel PSI designed by our group has certain advantages for the short-term subjective feelings of patients after THA, but it may cause prolonged operative times.

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.

Abstract
Purpose Modern statistics and higher computational power have opened novel possibilities to complex data analysis. While gait has been the utmost described motion in quantitative human motion analysis, descriptions of more challenging movements like the squat or lunge are currently lacking in the literature. The hip and knee joints are exposed to high forces and cause high morbidity and costs. Pre-surgical kinetic data acquisition on a patient-specific anatomy is also scarce in the literature. Studying the normal inter-patient kinetic variability may lead to other comparable studies to initiate more personalized therapies within the orthopedics. Methods Trials are performed by 50 healthy young males who were not overweight and approximately of the same age and activity level. Spatial marker trajectories and ground reaction force registrations are imported into the Anybody Modeling System based on subject-specific geometry and the state-of-the-art TLEM 2.0 dataset. Hip and knee joint reaction forces were obtained by a simulation with an inverse dynamics approach. With these forces, a statistical model that accounts for inter-subject variability was created. For this, we applied a principal component analysis in order to enable variance decomposition. This way, noise can be rejected and we still contemplate all waveform data, instead of using deduced spatiotemporal parameters like peak flexion or stride length as done in many gait analyses. In addition, this current paper is, to the authors’ knowledge, the first to investigate the generalization of a kinetic model data toward the population. Results Average knee reaction forces range up to 7.16 times body weight for the forwarded leg during lunge. Conversely, during squat, the load is evenly distributed. For both motions, a reliable and compact statistical model was created. In the lunge model, the first 12 modes accounts for 95.26% of inter-individual population variance. For the maximal-depth squat, this was 95.69% for the first 14 modes. Model accuracies will increase when including more principal components. Conclusion Our model design was proved to be compact, accurate, and reliable. For models aimed at populations covering descriptive studies, the sample size must be at least 50.

Abstract
Computer-assisted technologies that are used in arthroplasty include navigation, image-derived instrumentation (IDI), and robotics. Computer-assisted navigation improves accuracy and allows for real-time assessment of component positioning and soft-tissue tension. It is not clear whether the implementation of these technologies improves the clinical outcome of surgery. High cost and time demands have prevented the global implementation of computer-assisted technologies.

EUROPEAN SPINE JOURNAL : OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN SPINE SOCIETY, THE EUROPEAN SPINAL DEFORMITY SOCIETY, AND THE EUROPEAN SECTION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE RESEARCH SOCIETY 2019; 29:282-294. [PMID: 31676947 DOI: 10.1007/s00586-019-06201-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2019] [Revised: 09/20/2019] [Accepted: 10/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip and spine pathology can alter the biomechanics of spino-pelvic mobility. Lumbar spine fusions can reduce the mobility of the lumbar spine and therefore result in compensatory femoral motion, contributing towards dislocations of THA. PURPOSE This meta-analysis aims to determine the effect of pre-existing spine fusions on THA outcomes, and complication profile including hip dislocations, all-cause revisions and all complications. METHODS A multi-database search was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. All studies that compared patients who underwent THA with and without prior SF were included in the analysis. RESULTS Ten studies were included in this review, consisting of 28,396 SF THA patients and 1,550,291 non-SF THA patients. There were statistically significant higher rates of hip dislocation (OR 2.20, 95% CI 1.71-2.85, p < 0.001), all-cause revision (OR 3.43, 95% CI 1.96-6.00, p < 0.001) and all complications (OR 2.83, 95% CI 1.28-6.24, p = 0.01) in SF than in non-SF THA patients. When registry data were excluded, these rates were approximately doubled. Subgroup analysis of revisions for dislocations was not statistically significant (OR 5.28, 95% CI 0.76-36.87, p = 0.09). While no meta-analysis was performed on clinical outcomes due to heterogeneous parameter reporting, individual studies reported significantly poorer outcomes in SF patients than in non-SF patients. CONCLUSION THA patients with SF are at higher risks of hip dislocations, all-cause revisions and all complications, which may adversely affect patient-reported outcomes. Surgeons should be aware of these risks and appropriately plan to account for altered spino-pelvic biomechanics, in order to reduce the risks of hip dislocations and other complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A systematic review was conducted to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of the alternative surgical techniques that consider the dynamic aspect of the acetabular orientation when aligning a cup (pelvic tilt-, lumbo-pelvic kinematics-, and spine-hip relationship-adjusted cup alignment techniques). METHOD Eight eligible articles reported the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed with alternative techniques. Clinical and radiological data were extracted. One study had a control group of patients who underwent conventional THAs (level III) while the seven other studies were level IV. Computer navigation system (CAS), Optimized Positioning System (OPS™), and manual instrumentation were used to align components in four, two, and two studies, respectively. A meta-analysis was not carried out because there was a lack of homogeneity between included articles regarding the method to position the cup and the nature of the reported data. RESULTS THA performed with alternative techniques had an early dislocation rate ranging from 0 to 1.9%, no unexpected catastrophic failure, and acceptable radiographic cup orientations. One study compared kinematically and mechanically aligned THAs and found no dislocation in either groups, similar patient reported outcome measures (43 Oxford-12 Score for both groups), and similar proportions of cup in the Lewinnek zone (respectively 65% and 70%). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Alternative methods accounting for the functional acetabular orientation seem to be clinically safe and effective in the early-term, and generate acceptable cup orientation on radiographs. Their values compare to those of more conventional techniques for cup implantation remain to be determined. We developed a classification of the multiple methods for aligning an acetabular component.

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2019; 105:895-905.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Residual complications of conventionally implanted hip components have only been partially reduced by improved implant design and higher surgical precision, and their occurrence is poorly predicted by the radiographic standing/supine cup orientation. This has raised awareness that conventional techniques may not aim for the correct component orientation target, and the lumbo-pelvic kinematics, which influences the functional acetabular orientation, may be of interest to further improve THA clinical outcomes. This has led to the development of the Lumbo-Pelvic kinematic alignment (KA) technique for THA that aims to anatomically position and kinematically align hip implants (acetabular and femoral, total and resurfacing components), in order to optimise prosthetic hip biomechanics and hopefully improve prosthetic function, patient satisfaction, and components' lifespan. Therefore, we conducted a case control investigation to assess the early-term safety and efficacy of this new technique by answering the following questions: does the KA technique for THA: (1) better restore the native hip anatomy, (2) generate a different radiographic supine cup position, and (3) improve clinical outcomes in comparison to the conventional mechanical alignment technique? HYPOTHESES Using KA technique allows there is no statistically significant difference between the pre to postoperative differential for acetabular medial and vertical offsets, femoral offset, and leg length. METHODS We led a case control retrospective study with prospectively collected clinical data. Forty-one consecutive unselected KA-THAs performed with manual instrumentation were paired with 41 mechanically aligned THAs. The 1-year clinical outcomes and radiographical measurements were compared. RESULTS Compared to the mechanical alignment technique, the KA technique resulted in a more anatomical restoration of the prosthetic hip centre of rotation with a lower delta pre- to post-operative horizontal acetabular offset (1.47mm for KA versus -5.1mm for MA, p=0.001), and with 74% of KA versus 50% of MA cups (p=0.044) being within 15% of native anatomy for the horizontal acetabular offset. In addition, the KA technique resulted in a higher cup anteversion (22°±7° vs 15°±8°, p<0.001) but similar cup inclination (41°±6° vs. 42°±7°, p=0.25), a similar proportion of cups within the Lewinnek zone (65% vs. 70%, p=0.8), similar excellent functional outcomes (delta Oxford score pre- to follow-up of 24.3 and 23.5 points for KA and MA groups, respectively, p=0.88), similar patient satisfaction scores of 95.4/100 and 89.5/100 for KA and MA groups, respectively, and the same absence of aseptic complications. CONCLUSION The KA technique for THA has been demonstrated to be safe, efficacious, and not inferior to the conventional MA technique at early-term. As the concept of the KA technique for THA is only at an early stage, its influence on mid to long-term clinical outcomes remains to be determined and further refinements of the concept are yet to be made.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the application of a custom acetabular prosthesis (CAP) for total hip replacement (THR) in a dog 20 months after femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHNO). STUDY DESIGN Case report. ANIMAL A 10-year-old, male, castrated, Labrador retriever with progressive lameness and pain after FHNO. METHODS Acetabular bone stock was assessed as insufficient for conventional THR, so a biflanged CAP was designed and three-dimensionally printed in titanium to bridge the bone defect. The CAP had a porous surface for long-term biologic fixation on the backside and was anchored to the ilium and ischium with screws. A polyethylene cup was cemented into the CAP, and a bolted cementless femoral stem was inserted. RESULTS The loss of the conventional anatomic landmarks complicated intraoperative orientation and led to eccentric reaming and 5-mm malalignment of the CAP. Reduction of the prosthetic joint was difficult because of periarticular fibrosis, loss of functional muscle length, and thickness of the CAP, and intraoperative shortening of the stem neck was required. Postoperative complications included sciatic neurapraxia, which resolved with time and conservative management. Absence of pain and improvement of range of motion were observed at clinical examination 12 months after surgery; however, moderate hind limb lameness persisted due to muscle tension. No evidence of implant loosening was noted on radiographs acquired 24 months after surgery. CONCLUSION Femoral head and neck ostectomy with poor functional outcome was ameliorated by using a CAP in this dog. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Use of a CAP can be considered to treat acetabular defects in dogs.

Abstract
There remains confusion in the literature with regard to the spinopelvic relationship, and its contribution to ideal acetabular component position. Critical assessment of the literature has been limited by use of conflicting terminology and definitions of new concepts that further confuse the topic. In 2017, the concept of a Hip-Spine Workgroup was created with the first meeting held at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons Annual Meeting in 2018. The goal of this workgroup was to first help standardize terminology across the literature so that as a topic, multiple groups could produce literature that is immediately understandable and applicable. This consensus review from the Hip-Spine Workgroup aims to simplify the spinopelvic relationship, offer hip surgeons a concise summary of available literature, and select common terminology approved by both hip surgeons and spine surgeons for future research.

2018 Frank Stinchfield Award: Spinopelvic Hypermobility Is Associated With an Inferior Outcome After THA: Examining the Effect of Spinal Arthrodesis. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2019; 477:310-321.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients undergo both THA and spinal arthrodesis, and those patients may not fare as well as those who undergo one procedure but not the other. The mechanisms of how spinal arthrodesis affects patient function after THA remain unclear. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The aims of our study were to (1) determine how patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including the Oxford hip score as well as dislocations and complications compare after THA between patients with and without spinal arthrodesis; (2) characterize sagittal pelvic changes in these patients that occur when moving between different functional positions and test for differences between patients with and without spinal arthrodesis; and (3) assess whether differences in sagittal pelvic dynamics are associated with PROMs, complications, and dislocations after THA. METHODS In this case-control study, we identified 42 patients (60 hips) who had undergone both THA and spinal arthrodesis between 2002 and 2016 and who were available for followup at a minimum of 12 months (mean, 6 ± 5 years) after the later of the two procedures. These cases were case-control-matched for age, gender, and body mass index with 42 patients (60 hips) who underwent only THA and had no known spinal pathology. All patients completed PROMs, including the Oxford hip score, and underwent four radiographs of the pelvis and spinopelvic complex in three positions (supine, standing, and deep-seated). Cup orientation and various spinopelvic parameters, including pelvic tilt and pelvic-femoral angle, were measured. The difference in pelvic tilt between standing and seated allowed for patient classification based on spinopelvic mobility into normal (± 10°-30°), stiff (< ± 10°) or hypermobile (> ± 30°) groups. RESULTS Compared with the THA-only group, the THA-spinal arthrodesis group had inferior PROMs (Oxford hip score, 33 ± 10 versus 43 ± 6; p < 0.001) and more surgery-related complications (such as dislocation, loosening, periprosthetic fracture or infection, psoas irritation) (12 versus 3; p = 0.013), especially dislocation (5 versus 0; p = 0.023). We detected no difference in change of pelvic tilt between supine and standing positions between the groups. When standing, patients undergoing THA-spinal arthrodesis had greater pelvic tilt (25° ± 11° versus 17° ± 8°; p < 0.001) and the hip was more extended (193° ± 22° versus 185° ± 30°; p = 0.012). We found that patients undergoing THA-spinal arthrodesis were more likely to have spinopelvic hypermobility (12 of 42 versus three of 42; odds ratio, 5.2; p = 0.02) with anterior tilting of the pelvis. Of all biomechanical parameters, only spinopelvic hypermobility was associated with inferior PROMs (Oxford hip score, 35 ± 9 versus 40 ± 7 in normal mobility; p = 0.049) and was also present in dislocating hips that underwent revision despite acceptable cup orientation. CONCLUSIONS In patients with spinal arthrodesis who have undergone THA, spinopelvic hypermobility is associated with inferior outcomes, including hip instability. Spinopelvic hypermobility should be routinely assessed because these patients may have a narrow zone of optimum cup orientation that would require new technology to define and assist the surgeon in obtaining it.Level of Evidence Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Several technologies are available to assist surgeons with acetabular component positioning in total hip arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to determine whether surgical positioning software would improve cup position compared with fluoroscopy. This prospective, randomized study compared 200 primary total hip arthroplasty cups placed with and without surgical positioning software. All cases were performed by a single surgeon using the direct anterior approach with fluoroscopy. The target abduction and anteversion angles were set at 40° and 20°, respectively, and measured postoperatively. Cup placement time, total fluoroscopy time, and cup position were compared between groups. Mean abduction was 40.4° (range, 32.7°-49.0°) in the software group compared with 42.3° (range, 33.7°-51.1°) in the control group. The cups placed using software were significantly closer to the target abduction angle (P<.001) with fewer outliers. Mean anteversion was 20.8° (range, 11.2°-31.7°) in the software group compared with 21.8° (range, 11.3°-34.3°) in the control group (P=.063). Eighty-seven percent of cups in the software group fell within 5° of the abduction target, compared with only 68% in the control group (P<.01). Cup placement took longer in the software group (7:04 minutes vs 4:58 minutes, P<.001), and 2 seconds more total fluoroscopy time was used in that group as well (12.9 seconds vs 11.1 seconds, P<.001). The software improved both the accuracy and the precision of cup placement, with only modest increases in surgical time and fluoroscopy time. [Orthopedics. 2019; 42(1):42-47.].

Abstract
Total hip replacement is a frequently done and highly successful surgical intervention. The procedure is undertaken to relieve pain and improve function in individuals with advanced arthritis of the hip joint. Symptomatic osteoarthritis is the most common indication for surgery. In paper 1 of this Series, we focus on how patient factors should inform the surgical decision-making process. Substantial demands are placed upon modern implants, because patients expect to remain active for longer. We discuss the advances made in implant performance and the developments in perioperative practice that have reduced complications. Assessment of surgery outcomes should include patient-reported outcome measures and implant survival rates that are based on data from joint replacement registries. The high-profile failure of some widely used metal-on-metal prostheses has shown the shortcomings of the existing regulatory framework. We consider how proposed changes to the regulatory framework could influence safety.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patient specific guides can be a valuable tool in improving the precision of planned femoral neck osteotomies, especially in minimally invasive hip surgery, where bony landmarks are often inaccessible. The aim of our study was to validate the accuracy of a novel patient specific femoral osteotomy guide for THR through a minimally invasive posterior approach, the direct superior approach (DSA). METHODS As part of our routine preoperative planning 30 patients underwent low dose CT scans of their arthritic hip. 3D printed patient specific femoral neck osteotomy guides were then produced. Intraoperatively, having cleared all soft tissue from the postero-lateral neck of the enlocated hip, the guide was placed and pinned onto the posterolateral femoral neck. The osteotomy was performed using an oscillating saw and the uncemented hip components were implanted as per routine. Postoperatively, the achieved level of the osteotomy at the medial calcar was compared with the planned level of resection using a 3D/2D matching analysis (Mimics X-ray module, Materialise, Belgium). RESULTS A total of 30 patients undergoing uncemented Trinity acetabular and TriFit TS femoral component arthroplasty (Corin, UK) were included in our analysis. All but one of our analysed osteotomies were found to be within 3 mm from the planned height of osteotomy. In one patient the level of osteotomy deviated 5 mm below the planned level of resection. CONCLUSION Preoperative planning and the use of patient specific osteotomy guides provides an accurate method of performing femoral neck osteotomies in minimally invasive hip arthroplasty using the direct superior approach. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV (Case series).

Abstract
Background Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been demonstrated to minimize blood loss after total hip arthroplasty. There are three main routes: intravenous (IV), intra-articular (topical), and combined (IV and topical) but little consensus support which is most effective and safe. We performed network meta-analysis.to assess the comparative efficacy and safety of three different administration routes of TXA. Methods Twenty-five randomized controlled trials (RCT) were evaluated. Interventions were classified as: combined, IV multiple, IV single, topical and placebo. The primary outcome was effectiveness (transfusion rate, total blood loss, and total drain out). The secondary outcome was safety, based on the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Results A total of 2227 patients were included in the 5 categories: 564 IV single, 319 IV multiple, 398 topical, 120 combined, and 826 placebo. A network meta-analysis identified the most effective interventions in terms of reducing the need for transfusion as follows: combined = 98.2%, IV single = 54.0%, IV multiple = 78.6%, topical = 66.1%, placebo = 0.0%. Compared with placebo, the IV single, IV multiple, topical, and combined interventions showed no difference in the rate of occurrence of DVT and PE. Conclusions A network meta-analysis indicated that combined administration of TXA (IV and topical) was effective in reducing the transfusion rate after hip arthroplasty compared with IV or topical alone. As no high-risk patients were evaluated in the RCTs, it is not known whether the combined method is safer for patients susceptible to DVT or PE.
