Background

To evaluate the long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) in high riding hip dislocated patients with previous proximal femoral osteotomy.

Methods

Twenty-one consecutive patients with a mean age forty-two years were treated with cementless THA Step-cut subtrochanteric femoral osteotomy was performed in all twenty-eight hips. Metal on polyethylene (MoP) and ceramic on ceramic (CoC) bearings were used in two different consecutive time periods. The mean follow-up time was twelve years. Harris hip score, limb length discrepancy, complications, union status of the osteotomy, survivorship of constructs were the criteria for evaluation.

Results

The mean Harris hip score improved from 39.5 to 88.7 points. The mean limb length discrepancy in unilateral cases decreased from 54.5 mm to 12.3 mm. The mean amount of femoral shortening was 37 mm. The mean union time was 3.5 months and there were no delayed union and non-union. There were three cup and two femoral revisions due to osteolysis in patients who had MoP. There was only one femoral revision in patients who had CoC. The Kaplan Meier survivorship with an end point of any revision of the stem and the acetabular component was 94% (95% CI, 75%–98%) and 92% (95% CI, 74%–99%) at ten years respectively.

Conclusions

Total hip arthroplasty with subtrochanteric step-cut femoral shortening is a successful technique to improve the hip functions and reconstruct limb length discrepancy in young patients with proximal femoral deformities.  相似文献

Purpose

To assess morphological parameters of proximal femur and acetabulum in Thai population with three-dimensional measurement technique, and to analysis of collateral side symmetric, gender difference, and correlation between morphometric parameters.

Methods

Investigation was performed in 240 femurs. All three-dimensional femur models were acquitted from 64-slice spiral CT scanner. Morphometric parameters under consideration included acetabular diameter, femoral head diameter, shaft isthmus location, intramedullary canal diameter, diaphyseal diameter, femoral head height, femoral neck isthmus, femoral neck length, neck shaft angle, bow angle, and anteversion angle. All parameters were measured based on functions and least-square regression function in CAD software. Obtained measured data were then used for analysis of collateral side symmetric, gender difference, correlation between morphometric parameters, and compared with other populations.

Results

Female had a smaller dimension compared with male in most of the parameters. No significant difference was observed between left and right femurs. High correlation pairs of morphometric parameters included femoral head diameter–acetabular diameter, femoral head diameter–neck isthmus diameter, femoral head diameter–diaphyseal diameter at shaft isthmus level, acetabular diameter–neck isthmus diameter, neck isthmus diameter–diaphyseal diameter at shaft isthmus level, and acetabular diameter–diaphyseal diameter at shaft isthmus level. Some morphometric parameters of Thai are smaller than other Caucasian, and some Asian nation, i.e. femoral head diameter, femoral neck length, and femoral head height.

Conclusions

This study provides essential morphometric data for various orthopedic implant designs relating to proximal femur region.  相似文献

Background

Metal ion levels are used as a surrogate marker for wear in hip resurfacing arthroplasties. Improper component position, particularly on the acetabular side, plays an important role in problems with the bearing surfaces, such as edge loading, impingement on the acetabular component rim, lack of fluid-film lubrication, and acetabular component deformation. There are little data regarding femoral component position and its possible implications on wear and failure rates. The purpose of this investigation was to determine both femoral and acetabular component positions in our cohort of mechanically stable hip resurfacing arthroplasties and to determine if these were related to metal ion levels.

Methods

One hundred fourteen patients who had undergone a computer-assisted metal-on-metal hip resurfacing were prospectively followed. Cobalt and chromium levels, Harris Hip, and UCLA activity scores in addition to measures of the acetabular and femoral component position and angles of the femur and acetabulum were recorded.

Results

Significant changes included increases in the position of the acetabular component compared to the native acetabulum; increase in femoral vertical offset; and decreases in global offset, gluteus medius activation angle, and abductor arm angle (P < .05). Multiple regression analysis found no significant predictors of cobalt and chromium metal ion levels.

Conclusion

Femoral and acetabular components placed in acceptable position failed to predict increased metal ion levels, and increased levels did not adversely impact patient function or satisfaction. Further research is necessary to clarify factors contributing to prosthesis wear.  相似文献

Background

We evaluated the clinical and radiographic outcomes, including femoral head penetration, of total hip arthroplasty performed using a specific polyethylene (PE) liner in small Asian patients at 10 years after the index surgery. In addition, we investigated whether femoral head penetration was affected by patient-related, implant-related, and surgical factors.

Methods

Between August 2002 and June 2005, for cementless primary total hip arthroplasty, we used acetabular PE liners that were manufactured from GUR 1050 resin, machined from isostatic compression-molded bar stock, and sterilized with a gamma ray irradiation in argon gas. We assessed 82 hips in 78 patients who received these liners.

Results

The mean Harris hip score improved from 41.0 preoperatively to 84.5 at 10 years postoperatively. Periprosthetic osteolysis was observed in 7 hips (9.8%). No acetabular component migration was detected, and no revision surgery was performed 10 years postoperatively. The mean steady-state wear rate was 0.031 mm/y, which was lower than the wear rate for other conventional PE liners of the previous studies. Among the patient-related, implant-related, and surgical factors, sex was significantly associated with the mean steady-state wear rate, with a higher rate in male patients than in female patients.

Conclusion

PE acetabular liners used in small Asian patients show similar clinical outcomes and reduced wear compared with those of other liners. In addition, sex is significantly associated with the mean steady-state wear rate, and the steady-state wear rate is higher in male patients than in female patients.  相似文献

Background

The optimal surgical treatment for osteonecrosis of the femoral head has yet to be elucidated. To evaluate the role of femoral fixation techniques in hip resurfacing, we present a comparison of the results for 2 consecutive groups: group 1 (75 hips) received hybrid hip resurfacing implants with a cemented femoral component; group 2 (103 hips) received uncemented femoral components. Both groups received uncemented acetabular components.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed our clinical database to compare failures, reoperations, complications, clinical results, metal ion test results, and X-ray measurements. Using consecutive groups caused time interval bias, so we required all group 2 patients to be at least 2 years out from surgery; we compared results from 2 years and final follow-up.

Results

Patient groups matched similarly in age, body mass index, and percent female. Despite similar demographics, the uncemented, group 2 cases showed a lower raw failure rate (0% vs 16%; P < .0001), a lower 2-year failure rate (0% vs 7%; P = .04), and a superior 8-year implant survivorship (100% vs 91%; log-rank P = .0028; Wilcoxon P = .0026). In cases that did not fail, patient clinical (P = .05), activity (P = .02), and pain scores (P = .03), as well as acetabular component position (P < .0001), all improved in group 2, suggesting advancements in surgical management. There were no cases of adverse wear-related failure in either group.

Conclusion

This study demonstrates a superior outcome for cases of osteonecrosis with uncemented hip resurfacings compared to cases employing hybrid devices.  相似文献

Background

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) provides a successful salvage option for failed acetabular fractures. The complexity of arthroplasty for a failed acetabular fracture will depend on the fracture pattern and the initial management of the fracture. Our objective was to compare the midterm outcome of THA between patients who presented with failed acetabular fractures following initial surgical or nonsurgical treatment.

Methods

Forty-seven patients underwent cementless THA ± acetabular reconstruction following failed treatment of acetabular fractures. Twenty-seven were initially treated by surgery (group A) and 20 had nonsurgical treatment (group B). Intraoperative measures, preoperative and follow-up clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes were compared between the 2 groups.

Results

The mean surgical time, blood loss, and need for blood transfusion were significantly less in group A (P < .05). Acetabular reconstruction to address cavitary or segmental defects was needed in a significantly higher number of patients in group B (P = .006). Significant improvement in modified Merle d'Aubigne and Oxford scores was seen postsurgery in both groups. Acetabular component survival with aseptic loosening as end point was 98%. Overall survival rate with infection, revision, or loosening as end point was 93% at a mean follow-up of 7 years ± 17 months.

Conclusion

THA for a failed acetabular fracture is greatly facilitated by initial surgical treatment. Although functional results and survivorship were similar in both groups, failed nonsurgical treatment in complex fractures is associated with migrated femoral head and extensive acetabular defects requiring complex acetabular reconstruction.  相似文献

Background

Short-term and intermediate-term wear rates for highly cross-linked polyethylene (HCLPE) liners in total hip arthroplasty (THA) are significantly lower than published rates for traditional polyethylene liners. The aim of this study was to report the longest-to-date follow-up of a specific HCLPE liner.

Methods

A series of 35 THAs using a specific HCLPE liner were reviewed. Anteroposterior radiographs were reviewed for femoral head penetration, the presence of femoral and/or acetabular osteolysis, long-term survival, total wear, and wear rates in all patients.

Results

The average patient age at time of surgery was 70 years with an average follow-up of 10 years (118 months; range, 7.2-13.4 years). The mean wear rate in our cohort was 0.07 mm/y. Total wear was 0.71 mm over the study period. No hips showed evidence of osteolysis in any zones. Survivorship at latest follow-up was 100% with all-cause revision as an end point.

Conclusion

The wear rate of HCLPE liners continues to be lower than published wear rates for traditional polyethylene and continues to reaffirm the acceptably low wear rates using HCLPE acetabular liner in primary THA.  相似文献

Background

In total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery, hip muscle preservation is important in strengthening the stability of the hip and improving the activities of the patient. However, whether the type of femoral stem affects the recovery of the hip muscles remains unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative hip muscle recovery among femoral stem varieties after THA.

Methods

The computed tomography (CT) images of 44 patients (44 hips) who underwent THA using an anterolateral approach were reviewed. Twenty-two patients received a fit-and-fill (FF) stem and 22 received the tapered-wedge (TW) stem. The volumes of the gluteus maximus (GMA), gluteus medius (GME), and obturator internus (OI) were measured on three-dimensional models reconstructed using preoperative and 6-month postoperative CT images. Relationships between muscle volume changes and factors including the femoral stem length were evaluated.

Results

The GMA and GME volumes increased postoperatively by 8.2% and 8.3%, respectively, in the FF stem group and 7% and 6%, respectively, in the TW stem group, with no group differences. In contrast, the OI volume decreased postoperatively by 17.8% in the FF group and was preserved in TW group (p < 0.001). Moreover, OI volume was decreased in 19 patients (86%) in the FF group and in 11 patients (50%) in the TW group (p = 0.01). The normalized stem length was significantly associated with the postoperative change in OI volume (r = ?0.45, p = 0.002).

Conclusions

The TW stem showed a significant advantage over the FF stem in terms of OI preservation. Surgeons should pay close attention during surgery to avoid OI injury when using different femoral stem types. We suggest that a short and reduced lateral shoulder femoral stem is a better choice for the preservation of external rotation muscles.  相似文献

Background

To investigate changes in lower extremity coronal alignment in patients with unilateral Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip who underwent total hip arthroplasty with transverse femoral shortening osteotomy.

Methods

We reviewed the preoperative and 1-year postoperative full-length lower extremity radiographs of 25 patients. Femoral offset (FO), mechanical hip-knee-ankle angle, anatomical axis, mechanical axis deviation (MAD), mechanical lateral proximal femoral angle, anatomical medial proximal femoral angle, mechanical lateral distal femoral angle, anatomical lateral distal femoral angle, knee joint line congruency angle, mechanical medial proximal tibial angle, mechanical lateral distal tibial angle, ankle joint line orientation angle, tibial plafond talus angle, extremity length, and pelvic obliquity were measured on both the operative and nonoperative sides.

Results

Postoperatively, there were significant changes in FO (P = .001), hip-knee-ankle angle (P = .004), MAD (P = .016), mechanical lateral proximal femoral angle (P = .001), anatomical medial proximal femoral angle (P = .012), mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (P = .043), and ankle joint line orientation angle (P = .012) on the operative side. Only MAD (P = .035) changed significantly on the nonoperative side.

Conclusion

Modification of FO and reconstruction of hip joint anatomy led to neutralization of knee and ankle valgus alignment. Effects on the nonoperative side were minimal.  相似文献

Background

Assessing femoral version in orthopedic surgery is important for preoperative planning of total hip arthroplasty, especially for recognizing excessive anteversion or retroversion. The present study addressed the following: (1) Is the position of the lesser trochanter correlated to the femoral neck axis? (2) If so, may femoral version be assessed by means of plain pelvic radiographs?

Methods

Three-dimensional computed tomography scans of 60 patients undergoing minimally invasive cement-free total hip arthroplasty were retrospectively analyzed, particularly with regard to the relation between the femoral neck axis and the lesser trochanter, the femoral version, and the size of the projected lesser trochanter in different rotational positions. Based on linear regression, a biomathematical formula was developed to assess femoral anteversion on plain radiographs depending on the visible part of the lesser trochanter.

Results

The mean difference between the location of the lesser trochanter axis and the femoral neck axis was 43.3° ± 6.2°. Eighty-seven percent of patients (52 of 60) had a deviation of <10° from the mean value of 43.3°. By virtual rotation of the femur in steps of 10°, the visible part of the lesser trochanter linearly increased with anteversion of the femur: femoral version = (lesser trochanter size ? 5.57) × 4.17. There was a high correlation between the visible part of the lesser trochanter and femoral version (R2 = 0.75; P < .001). The lesser trochanter was no longer visible with femoral retroversion in each of the 60 data sets.

Conclusion

The projected size of the lesser trochanter as available on plain pelvic AP radiographs correlates with native femoral anteversion.  相似文献

Background

Trunnion tribocorrosion in total hip arthroplasties is concerning, but retrieval studies often are subjective or lack comparison groups. Quantitative comparisons of clinically relevant implants are required. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate material loss in metal-on-metal (MoM) and metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) total hip articulations while controlling for trunnion design and head size.

Methods

The 166 retrieved femoral heads from 2 manufacturers were analyzed. Four cohorts based on head size, trunnion design, manufacturer, and articulation type (MoM vs MoP) were created. Corrosion was measured by a coordinate measurement machine, and material loss was assessed (MATLAB).

Results

Retrieved femoral heads from MoP articulations had 5 times less trunnion material loss than MoM articulations, on average, for both manufacturers. There was no difference in material loss between large modular head (>40 mm) and 36-mm MoM hip trunnion. Implants with a material loss above the detectable limit demonstrated a correlation with time in vivo only in MoP articulations.

Conclusion

Retrieved femoral heads from MoP bearing couples had a lower magnitude of material loss than MoM couples, independent of head diameter. A time in vivo effect was only seen in MoP bearings.  相似文献

Background

Total hip arthroplasty revision for a fractured ceramic bearing is rare but offers unique challenges. The purpose of this review was to provide a summary of existing literature on fractured ceramic bearings.

Methods

Two authors performed a literature search of the MEDLINE OVID and PubMed databases with the following search terms: ceramic, fracture, total hip arthroplasty, and revision.

Results

The search identified 228 articles of which 199 were selected for review.

Conclusions

It is mandatory to perform a complete synovectomy and thorough debridement of the fractured ceramic fragments. A well-fixed acetabular component should be removed if either the locking mechanism is damaged or the component is malpositioned. If the femoral stem taper is damaged, the femoral stem should be removed. However, if minimal damage is present, the femoral stem may be retained and revised using a fourth generation ceramic head with a titanium sleeve. Metal bearings should be avoided and revision with ceramic bearings should be performed whenever possible.  相似文献

Background

We undertook this prospective, randomized, surgeon-blinded study to compare the accuracy of using of a magnification marker on preoperative radiographs for templating vs using a standard 21% magnification.

Methods

One hundred consecutive total hip arthroplasties were randomized to preoperative templating using a 25-mm magnification marker (50 patients) or a standard 21% magnification (50 patients). Intraoperative data were collected regarding the actual and predicted size of the femoral and acetabular components.

Results

The 2 groups were found to be comparable with respect to body mass index (28.9 vs 27.9, P = .26) and gender (P = .69). In the magnification marker group, we predicted the femoral size within 1 size in 80% of the cases and the acetabular component in 94%. In the group of a standard 21% magnification, we predicted the femoral size within 1 size in 90% of the cases and the acetabular component in 96%. These proportions did not statistically differ (femur: χ2P = .16, odds ratio = 2.3, 95% confidence interval = 0.7-7.1; acetabulum: χ2P = .65, odds ratio = 1.5, 95% confidence interval = 0.3-9.6).

Conclusion

We did not detect a statistically significant difference in accuracy by using one method over the other when comparing the accuracy of component size selection. As the use of the magnification marker adds to the time and expense of preoperative radiographic acquisition, we feel using a standard 21% magnification is an equally accurate technique.  相似文献

Background

Digital templating is becoming more prevalent in orthopedics. Recent investigations report high accuracy using digital templating in total hip arthroplasty (THA); however, the effect of body mass index (BMI) on templating accuracy is not well described.

Methods

Digital radiographs of 603 consecutive patients (645 hips) undergoing primary THA by a single surgeon were digitally templated using OrthoView (Jacksonville, FL). A 25-mm metallic sphere was used as a calibration marker. Preoperative digital hip templates were compared with the final implant size. Hips were stratified into groups based on BMI: BMI <30 (315), BMI 30-35 (132), BMI 35-40 (97), and BMI >40 (101).

Results

Accuracy between templating and final size did not vary by BMI for acetabular or femoral components. Digital templating was within 2 sizes of the final acetabular and femoral implants in 99.1% and 97.1% of cases, respectively.

Conclusion

Digital templating is an effective means of predicting the final size of THA components. BMI does not appear to play a major role in altering THA digital templating accuracy.  相似文献

Background

Dual mobility total hip arthroplasty (THA) components improve stability, yet use of a modular cobalt alloy acetabular liner may be associated with metal ion release. This study's purpose was to measure blood metal ion levels in young, active patients receiving a dual mobility THA prosthesis.

Methods

This is a prospective study of young, active patients undergoing primary THA. Twenty-six patients received a 22-mm cobalt alloy (n = 10) or a 28-mm ceramic (n = 16) femoral head, a modular cobalt chrome acetabular liner, with a highly cross-linked polyethylene insert (dual mobility). Seventeen control patients received a 32-mm cobalt alloy (n = 6), oxidized zirconium (n = 5), or ceramic (n = 6) femoral head and polyethylene acetabular liner (conventional). All patients received a cementless, titanium femoral stem. Blood metal ion levels (μg/L) were measured preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively.

Results

No difference was present for age or body mass index (P = .5 and .9). At 1 year postoperatively, mean cobalt levels were greater in the dual mobility cohort (0.23 ± 0.39 vs 0.15 ± 0.07, P < .001). Four patients in the dual mobility cohort had a cobalt level outside the reference range (0.03-0.29), with values from 0.34 to 1.81 μg/L. One patient in the conventional cohort had a cobalt level outside the reference range with a value of 0.39 μg/L.

Conclusion

The presence and clinical significance of increased cobalt levels in 4 patients with the use of a modular dual mobility prosthesis demonstrates the necessity of continued surveillance.  相似文献

Background

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiographic results of patients with Crowe type-IV hip dysplasia treated by cementless total hip arthroplasty and double chevron subtrochanteric osteotomy.

Methods

From January 2000 to February 2006, cementless total hip arthroplasty with a double chevron subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy was performed on 18 patients (22 hips) with Crowe type-IV dysplasia. The acetabular cup was placed in the position of the anatomic hip center, and subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy was performed with the use of a double chevron design. The clinical and radiographic outcomes were reviewed with a mean follow-up of 6.5 years (5-10 years).

Results

The mean amount of femoral subtrochanteric shortening was 38 mm (25-60 mm). All osteotomy sites were healed by 3-6 months without complications. The mean Harris Hip Score improved significantly from 47 points (35-65 points) preoperatively to 88 points (75-97 points) at the final follow-up. The Trendelenburg sign was corrected from a positive preoperative status to a negative postoperative status in 12 of 22 hips. No acetabular and femoral components have loosened or required revision during the period of follow-up.

Conclusion

Cementless total hip arthroplasty using double chevron subtrochanteric osteotomy allowed for restoration of anatomic hip center with safely functional limb lengthening, achieved correction of preoperative limp, and good functional and radiographic outcomes for 22 Crowe type-IV dislocation hips at the time of the 5- to 10-year follow-up.  相似文献

Background

Women seeking surgical intervention for their hip disorders will often find total hip arthroplasty (THA) presented as their only option. THA, when compared with hip resurfacing arthroplasty, removes substantially more bone-stock, limits range-of-motion, exhibits increased dislocation risk, and presents greater overall 10-year mortality rate. Despite these risks, most surgeons continue to select against women for hip resurfacing because registries notoriously report inferior survivorship when compared with men and THA.

Methods

We investigated the reasons for why resurfacing arthroplasty devices survive poorly in women to develop interventions which might improve hip resurfacing outcomes in women. Using these findings, we developed a series of surgical interventions to treat the underlying issues. Herein, we compare 2 study groups: women who received hip resurfacings before (group 1) and after (group 2) these interventions.

Results

Eight-year implant survivorship substantially improved from 89.6% for group 1 to 97.7% for group 2. Adverse wear-related failure, femoral component loosening, and acetabular component loosening were all significantly reduced in group 2, which we attribute to the implementation of our relative acetabular inclination limit guidelines, use of uncemented femoral fixation, and selection of the Tri-Spike acetabular component for supplemental fixation, respectively. Kaplan-Meier implant survivorship curves, grouped into 2-year time intervals, show that the disparity in failure rates between men and women is diminishing.

Conclusion

When experienced surgeons use refined and proper surgical technique, women show promise as excellent candidates for hip resurfacing as an alternative treatment for their debilitating hip conditions.  相似文献

Background

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results, survivorship and quick rehabilitation effects of modified surgery of percutaneously drilling and decompression through femoral head and neck fenestration combined with compacted autograft for early femoral head necrosis.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study with 83 hips performed percutaneous decompression through femoral head and neck fenestration (Modified group) combined with autogenous bone grafting for early ONFH. For comparison, another 90 hips treated with conventional core decompression with bone grafting (Control group).

Results

Median follow-up was 36 months (32–44 months). The length of incision, blood loss in operation, incision drainage, operation time and hospital stays in Modified group had better results than those in control group (P < 0.001). There were four cases in Modified group and five cases in control group had complications (P = 0.9). The VAS score and range of hip motion were better in Modified group during hospital stays summarily (P < 0.05). The average Harris score in modified group was higher than the control group at the first month (P = 0.005), while at other time of follow-up the two groups were with similar Harris scores (P > 0.05). There were 22 hips progressed to stage III in Modified group, while 23 hips progressed to stage III in control group (P = 0.89). The clinical success rate in Modified group were 86.7%, compared with that in control group (87.8%) ( P= 0.84).

Conclusion

Percutaneous drilling and decompression through femoral head and neck fenestration combined with compacted autograft we reported showed an good surgical effect with a quick rehabilitation and had similar short-term effects compared with the conventional core decompression in treatment of early ONFH.  相似文献

Background

Accurate reconstruction of hip joint biomechanics is the key stone in total hip arthroplasty. Although proximal femur morphology is known to vary with both age and gender, few studies investigated this in the very elderly (ie, ≥80 years). The purpose of this study was to compare basic morphological parameters describing the position of the femoral head between very elderly and middle-aged subjects.

Methods

Computed tomographic scans of the femur of 90 very elderly (mean 84 years, range 80-105 years) and 58 middle-aged subjects (mean 52 years, range 20-79 years) were made. After 3-dimensional reconstruction, the neck-shaft angle, femoral neck anteversion angle, femoral head height, femoral neck length, and mediolateral offset (ML-offset) were determined.

Results

The neck-shaft angle was on average 3.6° less in elderly males (125.9° ± 5.0°) than in middle-aged males (129.5° ± 5.1°) (P < .001). The femoral neck anteversion angle was not significantly different between both age and gender groups. The femoral head height was ?12.3 mm in elderly females compared to ?10.5 mm (Δ 17%) in elderly males (P = .284) and even ?8.0 mm (Δ 54%) in middle-aged males. The ML-offset was 10% (4.1 mm) larger in elderly compared to middle-aged males (P < .001).

Conclusion

These findings suggest that the femoral neck and head shift in a relative varus position during aging. Femoral prostheses with increased ML-offset and a lower caput-collum-diaphyseal angle are needed to accommodate the morphology of the femur in the very elderly. Care must be taken not to lengthen the operated leg, particularly in very elderly females.  相似文献

Background

This study compares the differences in acetabular component position, leg length discrepancy, and hip offset between the anterior and posterior approach. A novel method is applied to determine the acetabular anteversion using the C-arm tilt angle for the anterior approach.

Methods

Hundred consecutive anterior total hip arthroplasties were matched according to gender, body mass index, and age to a cohort of 100 primary total hip arthroplasties operated on through a posterior approach. Postoperative radiographs were analyzed to determine cup inclination, cup anteversion, leg length discrepancy, and hip offset.

Results

The mean inclination was 40.8° (range 33°-48°) and 45.1° (range 33°-55°) for the anterior and posterior approach, respectively. Using the new C-arm tilt plane technique, an average acetabular anteversion of 18.4° (range 11°-26°) was achieved with the anterior approach compared with 23.6° (range 8°-38°) with the posterior approach. Hundred percent cups in the anterior group and 81% in the posterior group fell within the safe zone (P < .001). There was no difference in the overall hip offset between the operated side and the contralateral side for the anterior (P = .074) and posterior (P = .919) group. There was no difference in leg length discrepancy between the 2 approaches (P = .259).

Conclusion

Intraoperative fluoroscopy-assisted direct anterior approach was associated with improved acetabular component positioning. However, no benefit was shown with regards to restoration of hip offset or leg length.  相似文献
