Determination of preoperative risk factors for iliopsoas tendonitis after total hip arthroplasty: A simulation study. J Orthop Res 2024. [PMID: 38587991 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
This study aims to identify preoperative risk factors for iliopsoas tendonitis after total hip arthroplasty, a complication typically attributed to acetabular cup position and orientation, using a validated iliopsoas impingement detection simulation. Analyzing CT scans and X-rays of 448 patients using a validated preoperative planning protocol, patients were simulated for iliopsoas impingement and categorized into at-risk and not at-risk groups based on a prior validation study, with a 23% at-risk incidence. Implementing a propensity score matching algorithm to reduce covariate imbalance, we identified factors that may exacerbate risk of iliopsoas tendonitis. Parameters that were investigated included standing pelvic tilt, functional femoral rotation, and the difference between the planned acetabular cup diameter and native femoral head diameter (ΔC-NFH). Comparing pelvic tilt, we found a significant difference between the groups (at-risk: -6.0°, not at-risk: -0.7°; p << 0.01). A similar trend was noted for ΔC-NFH (at-risk: +5.7 mm, not at-risk: +5.1 mm; p = 0.01). Additional simulations of at-risk patients indicated increased anteversion of the acetabular cup reduces impingement risk more effectively than medialisation. These findings suggest that spinopelvic parameters may exacerbate iliopsoas irritation risk, underscoring their importance in preoperative planning and patient expectation management. Similar findings of a greater than 6 mm difference between cup size and native femoral head diameter being a significant risk for iliopsoas tendonitis have been observed before, underscoring its potential veracity. These results may provide surgeons with a simple threshold that can be used in determining a cup size to reduce the risk of iliopsoas tendonitis.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:6662. [PMID: 37892800 PMCID: PMC10607773 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12206662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) affects the biomechanics of the hip and the patient gait. The stem design influences femoral lever ratios and tissue trauma. Biomechanical changes such as these have the potential to induce knee arthritis. A varus or valgus configuration of knee arthritis is formed by asymmetric loadings. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of stem design in THA on knee valgus by comparing a standard implant with an implant with a short stem. METHODS A total of 2953 patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty for end-stage osteoarthritis between 2015 and 2021 were included in this retrospective data analysis. Patients were divided into three groups, depending on hip status (straight stem, short stem, and native joint). Leg alignment was distinguished as varus or valgus, and the degree of axial deviation was measured. Descriptive and explorative statistical analyses were performed, with a p value < 0.05 set as significant. RESULTS Ipsilateral knee valgus occurred significantly more often in patients with straight stems (57.2%) than in those with short stems (29%) and native joints (25.8%) (p < 0.001). Additionally, mean valgus deviation was significantly increased in patients with straight stems (8.9°) compared to those with short stems (6.4°) or native hip joints (6.7°). Both findings were accentuated in women. CONCLUSIONS Previous ipsilateral straight-stem THA is associated with knee valgus deformity, especially in women. Short-stem THA seems to be better suited to restoring physiological biomechanics and preventing the development of valgus osteoarthritis of the ipsilateral knee.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:440. [PMID: 37259097 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06573-w] [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: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the causes of patient dissatisfaction after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is leg length discrepancy (LLD). Even when radiographic LLD (R-LLD) is within 5 mm, some people perceive the affected side to be longer, while others perceive it is shorter. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived LLD (P-LLD), R-LLD, and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12) after THA. METHODS A retrospective study of 164 patients with unilateral hip disease was conducted. Based on P-LLD after THA, they were classified into three categories: perceived short (PS 21 patients), no LLD (PN 121 patients), and perceived long (PL 22 patients). On the other hand, based on R-LLD after THA, they were divided into < - 5 mm (RS 36 patients), - 5 mm ≤ x < 5 mm (RN 99 patients), and 5 mm ≥ (RL 29 patients), respectively. The proportion of P-LLD in the RN group was also evaluated. In each group, the relationship between P-LLD, R-LLD and FJS-12 was investigated. RESULTS After THA, the PL group had significantly worse FJS-12 (PS: 68.3 ± 26.2, PN: 75.0 ± 20.9, PL: 47.3 ± 25.2, P < .0001). In the R-LLD evaluation, there was no difference in FJS-12 among the three groups (RS: 73.7 ± 21.1, RN: 70.0 ± 24.5, RL: 67.7 ± 25.4, P < .53). The RN group perceived leg length to be longer (RN-PL) in 12.1% of cases, and the RN-PL groups had significantly worse FJS-12 (RN-PS: 65.4 ± 24.8, RN-PN: 73.8 ± 23.1, RN-PL: 41.8 ± 27.6, P < .0001). CONCLUSION One year after THA, patients with longer P-LLD had worse FJS-12, even if the R-LLD was less than 5 mm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty decreases hip pain and often reduces knee pain in patients with hip osteoarthritis. Whole-body alignment may be associated with knee pain, but to our knowledge this relationship has not been previously investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of changes in whole-body alignment on ipsilateral knee pain in patients after total hip arthroplasty. METHODS In total, 94 patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis who underwent total hip arthroplasty were enrolled in this study. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to investigate perioperative knee pain. An EOS 2D/3D X-ray system was used to quantify the whole-body alignment of the spine, pelvis, and lower extremities in the standing position. The relationship between perioperative changes in knee pain and whole-body alignment was investigated. RESULTS Among 61 patients who had preoperative ipsilateral knee pain, pain resolved in 30 (50%) and persisted in 31 (50%) after surgery. In these patients, average ipsilateral knee pain decreased significantly after surgery, from 41 mm to 14 mm on the VAS (P < 0.01). Preoperative knee pain was correlated with femorotibial rotation, and postoperative knee pain was correlated with K-L grade, preoperative knee pain visualized analog scale, and preoperative sagittal vertical axis. Multiple linear regression identified preoperative sagittal vertical axis as significantly associated with residual postoperative ipsilateral knee pain. CONCLUSIONS Ipsilateral knee pain decreased in half of patients after total hip arthroplasty. Patients with a considerable forward-bent posture may have residual ipsilateral knee pain after total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Background Acetabular and femoral component positioning are important considerations in reducing adverse outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Previous assessments of femoral anteversion examined anatomic femoral anteversion (AFA) referenced to anatomic landmarks. However, this does not provide a functional understanding of the femur's relationship to the hip. We investigate a new measurement, functional femoral anteversion (FFA), and sought to measure its variability across a large sample of patients undergoing THA. Methods A total of 1008 consecutive patients underwent THA surgery between September 2019 and July 2021. All patients were measured for supine and standing functional femoral rotation (FFR), AFA, and FFA. Results The mean standing FFA was 13.2° ± 12.2° (-27.8° to 52.3°). The mean change in FFR from supine to standing was -2.2° ± 11.8° (-43.0° to 41.9°). Of all, 161 (16%) patients had standing FFA version greater than 25°. Four hundred sixty (46%) patients had standing FFR (internal or external) greater than 10°. One hundred twenty-three (12%) patients exhibited an increase in external rotation from supine to standing of greater than 10°. A moderate, negative linear relationship was observed between AFA and standing external femoral rotation (P <<.001, R = -0.46), indicating people may externally rotate their femur as AFA decreases with age. Conclusions Functional alignment of the femur in patients requiring THA is understudied. It is now understood that the femur, like the pelvis, can rotate substantially between functional positions. Enhancing our understanding of FFA and FFR may improve both acetabular and femoral component positioning.

Influence of implantation of a total hip endoprosthesis on the ipsilateral leg alignment: the effect of sex and dysplasia of the hip. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022; 143:3541-3549. [PMID: 36001169 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-022-04587-y] [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: 03/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Differences in leg and hip morphology exist between sexes and developmental hip dysplasia is known to alter proximal femoral morphology. The purpose of this study was to determine whether existing differences in leg alignment due to sex or developmental hip dysplasia have an effect on changes in leg alignment after total hip arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS 30 hip osteoarthritis patients underwent biplanar full-length radiography in the standing position preoperatively and 3 months after total hip arthroplasty. Differences in leg alignment between men and women and between patients with primary hip osteoarthritis and patients with developmental dysplasia before and after surgery were tested using a general linear model for repeated measures. RESULTS Implantation of a hip prosthesis had no differential effect on ipsilateral leg alignment in patients with hip osteoarthritis due to dysplasia and in patients with primary hip osteoarthritis. However, patients with hip osteoarthritis due to dysplasia had a 2.1° higher valgus both before and after surgery. After total hip arthroplasty, women had a significantly greater increase in varus angle (1.6° vs. 0°) and femoral offset (10.5 vs. 4.6 mm) compared with men. Because the change in acetabular offset was smaller (2.2 vs. 6.2 mm), the global femoral offset was only increased in women. Femoral torsion was constant for men (15.0° and 16.5°), whereas femoral torsion was significantly reduced in women (19.9° and 13.2°). CONCLUSIONS Hip arthroplasty has a greater effect on leg axis in women than in men. The axial leg alignment of women could change from a natural valgus to a varus alignment. Therefore, surgeons should consider the effects of total hip arthroplasty on leg alignment in patients with hip osteoarthritis. Whether these changes in leg alignment are also clinically relevant and lead to premature medial or lateral knee osteoarthritis should be investigated in future work. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered with DRKS (German Clinical Trials Register) under the number DRKS00015053. Registered 1st of August 2018.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the mid-term clinical outcome of the ankle joint after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in high-grade valgus osteoarthritis. METHODS In this case-control study, n = 36 patients with a preoperative mechanical tibiofemoral angle (mTFA) ≥ 15° who underwent TKA between December 2002 and December 2012 were included. The control group (mTFA < 15°) of n = 60 patients was created using case matching. Radiological [mechanical tibiofemoral angle (mTFA) and ankle joint orientation to the ground (G-AJLO)] and clinical parameters [Foot Function Index (FFI), Knee Society Score, Forgotten Joint Score, and Range of Motion (ROM)] were analysed. The mean follow-up time was 59 months (IQR [56, 62]). RESULTS The degree of correcting the mTFA by TKA significantly correlated with the postoperative FFI (R = 0.95, p < 0.05), although the knee and ankle joint lines were corrected to neutral orientations. A cut-off value of 16.5° [AUC 0.912 (0.85-0.975 95% CI), sensitivity = 0.8, specificity = 0.895] was calculated, above which the odds ratio (OR) for developing ankle symptoms increased vastly [OR 34.0 (9.10-127.02 95% CI)]. ROM restrictions of the subtalar joint displayed a strong significant correlation with the FFI (R = 0.74, p < 0.05), demonstrating that decreased ROM of the subtalar joint was associated with aggravated outcomes of the ankle joint. CONCLUSIONS In this study, higher degrees of leg axis correction in TKA were associated with increased postoperative ankle symptoms. When TKA is performed in excessive valgus knee osteoarthritis, surgeons should be aware that this might trigger the onset or progression of ankle symptoms, particularly in cases of a stiff subtalar joint.

Abstract
Background The aim of the present study was to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent different sequences of ipsilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods We retrospectively identified 47 patients who underwent TKA followed by ipsilateral THA (THA-TKA) and 36 patients who received THA subsequent to ipsilateral TKA (TKA-THA) for rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis between January 2008 and April 2014. Twenty-eight patients were selected for each group after case-control matching with preoperative demographics and protheses of THA. Clinical scores, radiographic results, complication rates, and survivorship were compared. The median duration of follow-up was 110 (range 80–149) months. Results Both groups showed significant improvement in Harris Hip Scores, Knee Society Score, and Short Form-12 at the last follow-up compared to baseline (p < .001). At the last follow-up, all clinical scores were actually lower in the THA-TKA group, but those differences were not statistically significant. Otherwise, there was no significant difference in radiological alignment or complication rates. The survivorship of THA and TKA in the THA-TKA group was 94.7 and 95.7%, respectively, compared with 92.4 and 100.0% in the TKA-THA group at 8 years (log rank, p = .939 and .187). Conclusions Patients who underwent ipsilateral THA and TKA with different sequences achieved similar favorable outcomes. Total joint arthroplasty can be performed safely with excellent outcomes in patients with a history of prior ipsilateral THA or TKA. Trial registration The trial was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2000035147) dated 2 August 2020.

Evaluation of femoral anteversion, hip rotation, and lateral patellar tilt after total hip arthroplasty using a changeable neck system. J Artif Organs 2021; 24:492-497. [PMID: 33899127 DOI: 10.1007/s10047-021-01269-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
In patients with secondary osteoarthritis due to acetabular dysplasia, femoral anteversion has many variations. A changeable neck system is one useful option to adjust the femoral anteversion. Retroverted necks can effectively adjust anatomical anteversion (AA), femoral rotational angle (FRA), and functional anteversion (FA); however, effectiveness of anteverted necks for these adjustments has not been investigated. Moreover, although the lateral patellar tilt after total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been reported to externally rotate, the influence on lateral patellar tilt using a changeable neck system remains unknown. To clarify the effectiveness of anteverted necks in THA, 96 consecutive patients (111 hips) who underwent THA using anatomical short stem with a changeable neck system were retrospectively investigated using pre- and post-operative computed tomography. Patients were divided into the straight (ST) group using straight and 4-mm-high-offset neck (N = 34) and the anteverted (AV) group using 15°-anteverted and 15°-anteverted/3-mm-high-offset neck (N = 34) after age, body mass index, and surgical approach were matched using propensity scores. AA did not change in the ST group, while it increased by 14.0° in the AV group. FRA decreased after surgery in both groups. FA decreased after surgery in the ST group, while it did not change in the AV group. Lateral patella tilt did not significantly change in both groups between pre- and post-operative position. In conclusion, with a changeable neck system, straight and anteverted necks can adjust AA to achieve pre-operative planning while not influencing lateral patellar tilt.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have explored the relationship between muscle strength, range of motion (ROM), and balance in the horizontal plane of the hip joint using three-dimensional (3D) motion analysis. OBJECTIVE We investigate the relationships of hip internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER) ROM, measured using a 3D motion capture system, with hip internal and external rotator strength and single-leg standing balance. METHODS The participants were 40 healthy adults. Kinematic data on hip ROM were collected using an eight-camera motion analysis system. Hip rotational strength measurements were obtained using hand-held isometric dynamometry. A Single-leg standing test and a pendular test were conducted to evaluate static and dynamic balance ability using BioRescue. RESULTS Significant correlations were found between hip strength and each variable measured during hip ROM assessments (p< 0.05). Significant positive correlations were found between the hip IR/ER strength ratio and the IR/ER ROM ratio (r= 0.72, p< 0.01). The subgroup with a normal IR/ER ratio of hip rotator strength and ROM showed significantly better dynamic balance ability than the subgroup with a hip rotator muscle imbalance (p< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS There is a significant relationship between hip IR/ER strength and IR/ER ROM with a normal hip IR/ER strength and ROM ratio positively affecting dynamic balance ability.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2020; 21:646. [PMID: 33008343 PMCID: PMC7532558 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-020-03674-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2020] [Accepted: 09/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background A proper restoration of hip biomechanics is fundamental to achieve satisfactory outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA). A global hip offset (GO) postoperatively reduction of more than 5 mm was known to impair hip functionality after THA. This study aimed to verify the restoration of the GO radiographic parameter after primary THA by the use of a cementless femoral stem available in three different offset options without length changing. Methods From a consecutive series of 201 patients (201 hips) underwent primary cementless THA in our center with a minimum 3-year follow up, 80 patients (80 hips) were available for complete radiographic evaluation for GO and limb length (LL) and clinical evaluation with Harris hip score (HHS). All patients received the same femoral stem with three different offset options (option A with – 5 mm offset, option B and option C with + 5 mm offset, constant for each sizes) without changing stem length. Results Mean GO significantly increased by + 3 mm (P < 0.05) and mean LL significantly decreased by + 5 mm (P < 0.05) after surgery, meaning that postoperatively the limb length of the operated side increased by + 5 mm. HHS significantly improved from 56.3 points preoperatively to 95.8 postoperatively (P < 0.001). Offset option A was used in 1 hip (1%), B in 59 hips (74%) and C in 20 hips (25%). Conclusions The femur is lateralized with a mean of + 5 mm after surgery than, the native anatomy, whatever type of stem was used. Thus, the use of this 3-offset options femoral stem is effective in restoring the native biomechanical hip parameters as GO, even if 2 offset options were considered sufficient to restore GO.

Arthroplast Today 2020; 6:532-537. [PMID: 32743036 PMCID: PMC7387674 DOI: 10.1016/j.artd.2020.06.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2020] [Revised: 05/06/2020] [Accepted: 06/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Although rotational changes in lower limb alignment after total hip arthroplasty (THA) affect functional stem anteversion, less is known about the effects of femoral rotational alignment in the standing position. This study investigated postoperative changes in femoral rotation and evaluated the association with whole-body alignment in patients who underwent THA. Methods Sixty-five patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis who underwent THA were enrolled. Preoperative and postoperative femoral rotation in the standing and supine positions were measured using EOS 2D/3D X-ray imaging system and computed tomography. Negative and positive changes in femoral rotation angle were indicative of internal and external rotation, respectively. The associations between femoral rotation and preoperative clinical and radiological factors were investigated. Results Femoral rotation showed significant internal changes in both the standing (-4.7° ± 11.0°) and supine (-3.5°± 10.9°) positions after THA. The preoperative femoral rotation angle, knee flexion angle, sagittal vertical axis (SVA), lumbar lordosis, body mass index, age, and internal and external rotation angles of the hip range of motion on the contralateral side were significantly correlated with femoral rotation in the standing position after THA. Multiple regression analysis showed that preoperative femoral rotation (β = 0.416, P < .001) and SVA (β = 0.216, P = .040) were significant predictors of postoperative femoral rotation in the standing position. Conclusions Femoral rotation had significant association with the patient-inherent posture represented by the SVA in the standing position. Because extensive external change of femoral rotation may increase the risk of hip impingement and dislocation, careful attention is required in patients with external femoral rotation and forward bent posture in the preoperative standing position.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the influence of a prior well-functioning unilateral primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) on the functional outcome of a subsequent ipsilateral primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS A retrospective case-control study of 92 patients older than 60 years underwent unilateral primary TKA after a prior ipsilateral THA (THA-TKA group) and 92 matched patients underwent only TKA (TKA group). Clinical assessments were performed using the Knee Society Scores (KSS) and Harris Hip Score (HSS), quality of life by the Reduced Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities (WOMAC) and Short-Form 12 (SF-12) questionnaires. Radiological evaluation was also performed. RESULTS Median follow-up after TKA was 7.2 (range 5-9) years. There were no significant differences between groups in baseline data at the TKA time. The mean gains in KSS were similar in both groups. At the last follow-up, there were no significant differences in WOMAC-pain or SF12-physical scores, but the WOMAC-function (p = 0.003) and SF12-mental (p = 0.018) scores were significantly better in the isolated TKA group. At the last follow-up, there were no significant differences in the radiological knee alignment or component positions. For aseptic reasons, the TKA survival at 8 years in the TKA group was 95.8 (95% CI 87.8-100%), and 96.6% (95% CI 91.8-100%) in the THA-TKA group (ns). CONCLUSION A well-functioning unilateral THA does not influence on the functional outcome of a subsequent ipsilateral TKA. This finding can help clinicians when counseling patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal implant alignment is important for total hip replacement (THR) longevity. Femoral stem anteversion is influenced by the native femoral anteversion. Knowing a patient's femoral morphology is therefore important when planning optimal THR alignment. We investigated variation in femoral anteversion across a patient population requiring THR. METHODS Preoperatively, native femoral neck anteversion was measured from 3-dimensional CT reconstructions in 1215 patients. RESULTS The median femoral anteversion was 14.4° (-27.1-54.5°, IQR 7.4-20.9°). There were significant gender differences (males 12.7°, females 16.0°; p < 0.0001). Femoral anteversion in males decreased significantly with increasing age. 14% of patients had extreme anteversion (<0° or >30°). CONCLUSIONS This is the largest series investigating native femoral anteversion in a THR population. Patient variation was large and was similar to published findings of a non-THR population. Gender and age-related differences were observed. Native femoral anteversion is patient-specific and should be considered when planning THR.

Are changes in radiological leg alignment and femoral parameters after total hip replacement responsible for joint loading during gait? BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2019; 20:526. [PMID: 31707985 PMCID: PMC6844039 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-019-2832-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2019] [Accepted: 09/13/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Gait kinematics after total hip replacement only partly explain the differences in the joint moments in the frontal plane between hip osteoarthritis patients after hip replacement and healthy controls. The goal of this study was to determine if total hip replacement surgery affects radiological leg alignment (Hip-Knee-Shaft-Angle, femoral offset, Neck-Shaft-Angle and varus/valgus alignment) and which of these parameters can explain the joint moments, additionally to the gait kinematics. Methods 22 unilateral hip osteoarthritis patients who were scheduled for total hip replacement were included in the study. Preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively all patients had biplanar radiographic examinations and 3D gait analysis. Results The operated leg showed significantly (P < 0.05) more varus (1.1°) as well as a larger femoral offset (+ 8 mm) and a larger Hip-Knee-Shaft-Angle (+ 1.3°) after total hip replacement; however no significant differences in the joint moments in the frontal plane compared to healthy controls were found. The hip moment (first half of stance) and the knee moments (first and second half of stance) were mostly determined by the varus/valgus alignment (29% and respectively 36% and 35%). The combination with a kinematic parameter (knee range of motion, foot progression angle) increased the predictive value for the knee moments. Conclusion In our patient group the joint moments after total hip replacement did not differ from healthy controls, whereas radiological leg alignment parameters changed significantly after the total hip replacement. A combination of these radiological leg parameters, especially the varus alignment, and the deviating kinematics explain the joint moments in the frontal plane during gait after total hip replacement surgery. For surgeons it is important not to create too much of a structural varus alignment by implanting the new hip joint as varus alignment can increase the knee adduction moment and the risk for osteoarthritis of the medial knee compartment. Trial registration This study was retrospectively registered with DRKS (German Clinical Trials Register) under the number DRKS00015053. Registered 1st of August 2018.

Abstract
Objective To assess the changes in alignment of ipsilateral knee joint after total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Methods Thirty‐four patients with DDH (38 hips) who underwent THA between February and December 2008 were included in the study: 4 men and 30 women with a mean age of 56.2 years. According to Crowe classification, 11 patients were grade I, 12 were grade II, 9 were grade III, and 6 were grade IV. Computed tomography scans were performed from the anterior superior iliac spine to the tibial tubercle before surgery and at last follow‐up. Femoral anteversion angle, leg lengthening, and knee alignment, including patellar tilt angle, lateral patellar displacement, and tibiofemoral rotation angle, were measured on computed tomography scans, and their relationships were analyzed. Results The mean follow‐up period was 51.5 months (range, 39–70 months). There were no intraoperative fractures, and no infections occurred during the follow‐up period. One patient developed deep venous thrombosis and another suffered from femoral nerve palsy. The mean preoperative Harris Hip Score was 48.9 ± 7.5 and improved to 91.2 ± 8.3 by the last follow‐up (P < 0.001). There was no sign of prosthetic loosening in all hips. Postoperatively, mean leg lengthening was 26.08 ± 21.81 mm (P < 0.001), femoral anteversion decreased 9.03° ± 12.80° (P < 0.001), and patellar tilt, lateral patellar displacement, and tibiofemoral rotation increased by 3.58° ± 4.96° (P < 0.001), 1.78 ± 3.36 mm (P = 0.002), and 2.56° ± 3.37° (P < 0.001), respectively. Postoperative increase in patellar tilt and lateral patellar displacement had significant linear relationships with the decrease in femoral anteversion (r = 0.621, P < 0.001 and r = 0.437, P = 0.0037, respectively). These results revealed that patellofemoral alignment would change more with the decrease in femoral anteversion. Postoperative increase in external rotation of the tibia had significant positive linear relationships with leg lengthening (r = 0.34, P = 0.037) and the decrease in femoral anteversion (r = 0.693, P < 0.001). These results revealed that the external rotation of the proximal tibia would increase with the leg lengthening or the decrease of femoral anteversion. Postoperative changes in patellar tilt and lateral patellar displacement had no significant linear relationships with leg lengthening (P = 0.795 and P = 0.082, respectively). Conclusions Total hip arthroplasty for DDH could induce changes in alignment of ipsilateral patellofemoral and tibiofemoral joints, with increases in patellar tilt and displacement, and increases in external rotation of the tibia. These secondary alterations still existed at medium‐term follow‐up after surgery, which should be considered during THA for patients with DDH. Extended follow‐up is necessary to evaluate long‐term changes in the knee joint.

Abstract
Background A postoperative change in femoral rotation following total hip arthroplasty (THA) might be the cause of dislocation due to the change in combined anteversion. However, very few studies have evaluated the femoral rotation angle following THA, or the factors that influence femoral rotation. We aimed to evaluate changes in femoral rotation after THA, and to investigate preoperative patient factors that influence femoral rotation after THA. Methods This study involved 211 hips treated with primary THA. We used computed tomography to measure the femoral rotation angle before and one week after THA. In addition, multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluate preoperative patient factors that could influence femoral rotation after THA. Results The femoral rotation angle was 0.2 ± 14° externally before surgery and 4.4 ± 12° internally after surgery (p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that sex (β = 0.19; p = 0.003), age (β = 0.15; p = 0.017), preoperative anatomical femoral anteversion (β = − 0.25; p = 0.002), and preoperative femoral rotation angle (β = 0.36; p < 0.001) were significantly associated with the postoperative femoral rotation angle. The final model of the regression formula was described by the following equation: [postoperative femoral rotation angle = 5.41 × sex (female: 0, male: 1) + 0.15 × age - 0.22 × preoperative anatomical femoral anteversion + 0.33 × preoperative femoral rotation angle - 10.1]. Conclusion The current study showed the mean internal change of 4.6° in the femoral rotation angle one week after THA. Sex, age, preoperative anatomical femoral anteversion and preoperative femoral rotation were associated with postoperative femoral rotation. The patients who were male, older, and who exhibited lesser preoperative anatomical femoral anteversion or greater preoperative femoral rotation angles, tended to demonstrate an externally rotated femur after THA. Conversely, patients who were female, younger, and who exhibited greater preoperative anatomical femoral anteversion or lesser preoperative femoral rotation angles, tended to demonstrate an internal rotation of the femur after THA.

Validity of the intra-operative measurement of stem anteversion and factors for the erroneous estimation in cementless total hip arthroplasty using postero-lateral approach. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2018; 104:341-346. [PMID: 29458202 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2017.11.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2017] [Revised: 11/07/2017] [Accepted: 11/23/2017] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-operative estimation of stem anteversion in total hip arthroplasty (THA) using postero-lateral approach is made by the surgeon's visual assessment, using the tibia as a guide, with the assumption that tibial axis is vertical to the trans-epicondylar axis. However, the accuracy of the intra-operative estimation has rarely been verified with postoperative CT-scans, with controversies regarding these measurements particularly in case of knee osteoarthritis. Therefore we performed a prospective study to: (1) determine the accuracy of the intra-operative measurement and (2) investigate factors affecting the discrepancy between the surgeon's estimation and the real stem anteversion. HYPOTHESIS Intra-operative estimation of stem anteversion correlated with the real stem anteversion on CT-scan. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-seven THAs using cementless straight stems (65 patients) without ipsilateral total knee arthroplasty were prospectively evaluated to compare the intra-operative measurement of stem anteversion with the real stem anteversion on computed tomography (CT) scans. There were 33 men and 34 women with a mean age of 59.7years (range, 27-84years) at the time of surgery. Age, tibia plateau angle, native femoral anteversion, femoro-tibial angle, body mass index, operative site, gender, coronal and sagittal tilt of the stem, stem type, ipsilateral knee osteoarthritis, and preoperative diagnosis were analyzed to evaluate the factors affecting the discrepancy between the intra-operative and CT measurements. RESULTS The intra-operative estimation (mean, 21.5°±8.5°; range, 5.0°-39.0°) was greater than the CT measurement (mean, 19.5°±8.7°; range, 4.5°-38.5°) by 2.0°. The mean absolute value of discrepancy was 4.5°. The correlation coefficient between intra-operative and CT measurements was 0.837. The femoro-tibial angle was associated with the discrepancy between the two measurements. In the presence of genu varum deformity, the intra-operative measurement underestimated the stem anteversion. DISCUSSION Although intra-operative estimation of stem anteversion was slightly greater than the real stem anteversion, there was an excellent correlation between the two. The femoro-tibial angle should be considered to optimize the stem anteversion during cementless THA using postero-lateral approach. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, prospective case control study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Internal rotation of the hip and lateral patellar tilt increases after total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, it remains unknown whether these parameters change with time after the index THA. METHODS A total of 91 patients undergoing 2-stage bilateral primary THAs between January 2008 and May 2014 were included to assess the association of chronological changes in internal rotation of the hip or lateral patellar tilt with anthropometric and perioperative parameter and changes in alignment after the index THA. Chronological changes were assessed as changes between postoperative computed tomography on the index surgery and the preoperative computed tomography on the contralateral THA. Internal rotation of the hip was defined as the angle between the posterior intercondylar line and a line passing through the posterior inferior iliac spines. Lateral patellar tilt was defined as the angle between the posterior intercondylar line and a line joining the medial and lateral edges of the patella. RESULTS Internal rotation of the hip and lateral patellar tilt changed until 2 years after the index surgery by a mean of -2° (range -17.3° to 17.7°) and -2° (range -18.2° to 5.3°), respectively. Adductor tenotomy was associated with increasing internal rotation of the hip with time (adjusted R2 0.076); leg lengthening and larger preoperative femorotibial angle were associated with decreasing lateral patellar tilt with time (adjusted R2 0.159). CONCLUSION Both internal rotation of the hip at rest and lateral patellar tilt decreased by approximately 2° until 2 years after surgery and there was a large variation in chronological change.
