Abstract
BACKGROUND
In obese patients, malpositioning of the acetabular cup increases the risk of dislocation in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study was to determine whether obesity affects the accuracy of acetabular cup positioning using a computed tomography (CT)-based navigation system.
METHODS
We retrospectively evaluated 226 consecutive patients who underwent cementless primary THAs assisted by the CT-based hip navigation system. We divided the patients into three groups according to body mass index (BMI) and examined the difference between preoperative planning and postoperative implantation angles from CT data.
RESULTS
There was no significant correlation between BMI and both inclination and anteversion differences (R = 0.028 and R = 0.045, respectively). There were no significant differences among the BMI < 25, 25 ≦ BMI < 30, and BMI ≧ 30 groups (p value: 0.725, 0.934, respectively); between the BMI < 25 and BMI ≧ 25 groups (p value: 0.542, 0.697, respectively); and between the BMI < 30 and BMI ≧ 30 groups with regard to inclination and anteversion (p value: 0.859, 0.456, respectively). Moreover, similar findings were observed with regard to the distance between the preoperative planning and postoperative cup positioning for the transverse, anteroposterior, and craniocaudal axes of the pelvis.
CONCLUSION
We found that the accuracy of acetabular cup placement using CT based-navigation in THA was not affected in obese patients. Therefore, THAs with a CT-based navigation system are considered useful in obese patients.
