AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the accuracy of cup placement and determine the predictive risk factors for inaccurate cup positioning in robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA). We retrospectively analyzed 115 patients who underwent robot-assisted THA between August 2018 and November 2019. Acetabular cup alignment and three-dimensional (3D) position were measured using pre- or postoperative computed tomography (CT) data. Absolute differences in cup inclination, anteversion, and 3D position were assessed, and their relation to preoperative factors was evaluated. The average measurement of the absolute differences was 1.8° ± 2.0° (inclination) and 1.9° ± 2.3° (anteversion). The average absolute difference in the 3D cup position was 1.1 ± 1.2 mm (coronal plane) and 0.9 ± 1.0 mm (axial plane). Multivariate analysis revealed that a posterior pelvic tilt [odds ratio (OR, 1.1; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.00–1.23] and anterior surgical approach (OR, 5.1; 95% CI, 1.69–15.38) were predictive factors for inaccurate cup positioning with robot-assisted THA. This is the first study to demonstrate the predictive risk factors (posterior pelvic tilt and anterior surgical approach) for inaccurate cup position in robot-assisted THA.

IntroductionAfter a first-time total hip arthroplasty (THA) dislocation, a closed reduction followed by partial immobilization in an abduction brace is the recommended therapy. Despite modern abduction braces the success rate of conservative therapy is limited and evidence is scarce. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for failure of conservative treatment after THA dislocation.Material and methodsEighty-seven patients, with conservative treatment of a first-time dislocation of a primary or revision THA, were included in this retrospective cohort study. Success was defined as a stable THA for a minimum of six months. Re-dislocation, open reduction or revision was defined as failure. The following risk factors were analyzed: gender, age, body mass index (BMI), ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) score, time of dislocation, head size, cup orientation, leg length, center of rotation and offset.ResultsSixty-seven percent of all patients experienced a re-dislocation, despite standardized conservative therapy. A BMI ≥ 25, early THA dislocation, and low cup anteversion were associated with a statistically significantly higher risk for re-dislocation. None of the other risk-factors achieved statistical significance. A multifactorial risk-factor analysis was performed to assess whether a cup position outside of Lewinnek’s safe zone in combination with gender, BMI and time to dislocation showed statistical significance for re-dislocation. Both BMI ≥ 25 and early dislocation showed a statistically higher failure rate. Cup position and gender were not significant.ConclusionsBMI ≥ 25, early THA dislocation and low cup anteversion were identified as significant risk factors for failure of conservative treatment with an abduction brace for first-time THA dislocation.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to examine whether surgeon handedness could affect cup positioning in manual total hip arthroplasty (THA), and whether robot could diminish or eliminate the impact of surgeon handedness on cup positioning in robot-assisted THA.Methods Fifty-three patients who underwent bilateral robot-assisted THA and sixty-two patients who underwent bilateral manual THA between August 2018 and July 2019 in our institute were respectively analyzed in this study. When the difference between the bilateral anteversion or inclination was greater than 5°, the patient was regarded as having different cup positioning between bilateral THA. Their demographics, orientation of acetabular cup and postoperative 3 month Harris hip score (HHS) were recorded for analysis.Results There were no significant difference in the gender, age, BMI, diagnosis's composition, preoperative and postoperative HHS between the robotic and manual group. Two left hips dislocated in the manual group. The anteversion of left hip was significantly larger than that of right hip (24.77±10.44 vs 22.44±8.67, p=0.043) in the manual group. There were no significant difference of cup positioning between bilateral robot-assisted THA. The patients in manual group were significantly more likely to have different cup positioning between bilateral hips than those in robotic group (77% vs 45%, p=0.000).Conclusions Surgeon's handedness had adverse impact on anteversion of the non-dominant side in manual THA and right-handed surgeons were more likely to place the left cup in larger anteversion. Robot could help surgeon eliminate the adverse impact caused by personal innate handedness.

There were no significant difference of cup positioning between bilateral robot-assisted THA. The patients in manual group were significantly more likely to have different cup positioning between bilateral hips than those in robotic group (77% vs 45%, p=0.000). More manual THA were located out of the target zone than robot-assisted THA (70% vs 48%, p=0.001). Conclusions: Surgeon’s handedness showed a trend towards an impact on cup positioning in manual THA and robot might help surgeon eliminate the adverse impact. However, the impact of handedness on the clinical outcomes still needs further observation.

Abstract Introduction Spinopelvic mobility was identified as a contributing factor for total hip arthroplasty (THA) instability. The influence of spinopelvic function on acetabular cup positioning has not yet been sufficiently investigated in a prospective setting. Therefore, our study aimed (1) to assess cup inclination and anteversion in standing and sitting based on spinopelvic mobility, (2) to identify correlations between cup position and spinopelvic function, (3) and to determine the influence of the individual spinal segments, spinal sagittal balance, and spinopelvic characteristics on the mobility groups. Materials and methods A prospective study assessing 197 THA patients was conducted with stereoradiography in standing and sitting position postoperatively. Two independent investigators determined cup anteversion and inclination, C7-Sagittal vertical axis, cervical lordosis (CL), thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), sacral slope, pelvic tilt (PT), anteinclination (AI), and pelvic femoral angle (PFA). Spinopelvic mobility is defined based on ∆PT = PTstanding − PTsitting as ∆PT < 10° stiff, ∆PT ≥ 10–30° normal, and ∆PT > 30° hypermobile. Pearson coefficient represented correlations between the cup position and spinopelvic parameters. Results Significant differences were demonstrated for cup anteversion (stiff/hypermobile 29.3°/40.1°; p < 0.000) and inclination (stiff/hypermobile 43.5°/60.2°; p < 0.000) in sitting, but not in standing position. ∆ (standing/sitting) of the cup anteversion (stiff/neutral/hypermobile 5.8°/12.4°/19.9°; p < 0.000) and inclination (stiff/neutral/hypermobile 2.3°/11.2°/18.8°; p < 0.000) revealed significant differences between the mobility groups. The acetabular cup position in sitting, was correlated with lumbar flexibility (∆LL) and spinopelvic mobility. Significant differences were detected between the mobility types and acetabular orientation (AI sit:stiff/hypermobile 47.6°/65.4°; p < 0.000) and hip motion (∆PFA:stiff/hypermobile 65.8°/37.3°; p < 0.000). Assessment of the spinal segments highlighted the role of lumbar flexibility (∆LL:stiff/hypermobile 9.9°/36.2°; p < 0.000) in the spinopelvic complex. Conclusion The significantly different acetabular cup positions in sitting and in the ∆ between standing and sitting and the significantly altered spinopelvic characteristics in terms of stiff and hypermobile spinopelvic mobility underlined the consideration for preoperative functional radiological assessment. Identifying the patients with altered spinopelvic mechanics due to a standardized screening algorithm is necessary to provide safe acetabular cup positioning. The proximal spinal segments appeared not to be involved in the spinopelvic function.

Background: Incorrect acetabular component positioning in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been associated with poor outcomes. Computer-assisted hip arthroplasty increases accuracy and consistency of cup positioning compared to conventional methods. Traditional navigation units have been associated with problems such as bulkiness of equipment and reproducibility of anatomical landmarks, particularly in obese patients or the lateral position. Purpose: We sought to evaluate the accuracy of a novel miniature inertial measurement system, the Navbit Sprint navigation device (Navbit, Sydney, Australia), to navigate acetabular component positioning in both the supine and lateral decubitus positions. We also aimed to validate a new method of patient registration that does not require acquisition of anatomical landmarks for navigation. Methods: We performed THA in a cadaveric study in supine and lateral positions using Navbit navigation to record cup position and compared mean scores from 3 Navbit devices for each cup position on post-implantation CT scans. Results: A total of 11 cups (5 supine and 6 lateral) were available for comparison. A difference of 2.34° in the supine direct anterior approach when assessing acetabular version was deemed to be statistically but not clinically significant. There was no statistically significant difference between CT and navigation measurements of cup position in the lateral position. Conclusion: This cadaveric study suggests that a novel inertial-based navigation tool is accurate for cup positioning in THA in the supine and lateral positions. Furthermore, it validates a novel registration method that does not require the identification of anatomical landmarks.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of studies on the etiology of femoral head necrosis. We retrospectively reviewed all patients diagnosed with aseptic necrosis of the femoral in the period of 2010-2015. We recorded a total of 230 cases diagnosed with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, group was composed of 65.7% men and 34.3% women, risk factors identified was 19.13% (post-traumatic), 13.91% (glucocorticoids), 26.52% (alcohol), 3.47% (another cause) and in 36 95% of the cases no risk factors were found. The results of the study based on the type of surgery performed on the basis of stages of disease progression, 8 patients (3.48%) benefited from osteotomy, 28 patients (12.17%) benefited of bipolar hemiarthroplasty prosthesis and 188 patients (81.74%) benefited of total hip arthroplasty. Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is characteristic to young patients between the age of 30-50 years old. Predisposing factors, alcohol and corticosteroid therapy remains an important cause of the disease. Total hip arthroplasty remains the best option for the patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
