Abstract BackgroundPreoperative planning with computed tomography (CT)-based three-dimensional templating has been achieved more precise placement of hip components. This study investigated the value of the software for preoperative planning (artificial intelligence hip system, AIHIP) in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) for surgeons with different experience levels.MethodsWe performed a retrospective study of 240 hips in 240 patients who underwent cementless primary THA. The patients were divided into four groups: A1) senior surgeon without AIHIP, A2) senior surgeon with AIHIP, B1) junior surgeon without AIHIP, and B2) junior surgeon with AIHIP. All preoperative planning evaluations were completed using the AIHIP software. We analysed the accuracy of stem size prediction and cup size prediction, the absolute value of postoperative discrepancy in leg length, discrepancy of neck-shaft angle and femoral offset between the healthy side and the affected side from the anteroposterior radiographic view of the hip, intraoperative and postoperative complications, operative times, the reduction in the haemoglobin (Hb) level during the first 24 hours and the number of intraoperative radiations.ResultsThe sizes of 95% were accurately estimated to be within one stem size, and 97% of the cup size estimates were accurate to within one cup size in group A2. A total of 87% were accurately estimated to be within one stem size, and 85% were accurate to within one cup size in group B2. There was a significant difference in radiological indicators (P<0.050), postoperative complications (overall P=0.035), operation duration (P<0.001), decrease in Hb per 24 hours (P=0.046) and intraoperative radiation frequency (P<0.050) among the patients in group B. There was also a significant difference in postoperative complications (overall P=0.01) between groups A1 and B1.ConclusionOur results suggest that the AIHIP is a favourable tool for young surgeons, and the accuracy is good.

Objective We performed a retrospective study to compare the accuracy of preoperative planning using three-dimensional AI-HIP software and traditional two-dimensional manual templating to predict the size and position of prostheses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of AI-HIP in preoperative planning for primary total hip arthroplasty. Methods In total, 316 hips treated from April 2019 to June 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. A typical preoperative planning process for patients was implemented to compare the accuracy of the two preoperative planning methods with respect to prosthetic size and position. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used to evaluate the homogeneity between the actual prosthetic size and position and the preoperative planning method. Results When AI-HIP software and manual templating were used for preoperative planning, the stem agreement was 87.7% and 58.9%, respectively, and the cup agreement was 94.0% and 65.2%, respectively. The results showed that when AI-HIP software was used, an extremely high level of consistency (ICC > 0.95) was achieved for the femoral stem size, cup size, and femoral osteotomy level (ICC = 0.972, 0.962, and 0.961, respectively). Conclusion AI-HIP software showed excellent reliability for predicting the component size and implant position in primary total hip arthroplasty.

Two-dimensional (2D) planning on standard radiographs for total hip arthroplasty may not be sufficiently accurate to predict implant sizing or restore leg length and femoral offset, whereas 3D planning avoids magnification and projection errors. Furthermore, weightbearing measures are not available with computed tomography (CT) and leg length and offset are rarely checked postoperatively using any imaging modality. Navigation can usually achieve a surgical plan precisely, but the choice of that plan remains key, which is best guided by preoperative planning. The study objectives were therefore to (1) evaluate the accuracy of stem/cup size prediction using dedicated 3D planning software based on biplanar radiographic imaging under weightbearing and (2) compare the preplanned leg length and femoral offset with the postoperative result. This single-centre, single-surgeon prospective study consisted of a cohort of 33 patients operated on over 24 months. The routine clinical workflow consisted of preoperative biplanar weightbearing imaging, 3D surgical planning, navigated surgery to execute the plan, and postoperative biplanar imaging to verify the radiological outcomes in 3D weightbearing. 3D planning was performed with the dedicated hipEOS® planning software to determine stem and cup size and position, plus 3D anatomical and functional parameters, in particular variations in leg length and femoral offset. Component size planning accuracy was 94% (31/33) within one size for the femoral stem and 100% (33/33) within one size for the acetabular cup. There were no significant differences between planned versus implanted femoral stem size or planned versus measured changes in leg length or offset. Cup size did differ significantly, tending towards implanting one size larger when there was a difference. Biplanar radiographs plus hipEOS planning software showed good reliability for predicting implant size, leg length, and femoral offset and postoperatively provided a check on the navigated surgery. Compared to previous studies, the predictive results were better than 2D planning on conventional radiography and equal to 3D planning on CT images, with lower radiation dose, and in the weightbearing position.

AbstractReturn to work (RTW) has been specifically identified as a high priority in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). This investigation sought to assess the effect of the stem design on patients’ RTW. Secondly, the study aimed to identify risk factors that lead to a delayed RTW. Questionnaires inquiring about RTW, employment history, educational level, type of work, physical demands and joint awareness were administered by post. Further data were collected from patients’ hospital records. 176 patients who underwent THA using a short-stem and 97 patients using a straight-stem design were compared. The median return to work time was 10 weeks [IQR 7–14 weeks], with no significant difference between the two groups (short stems vs. straight stems; 10 [IQR 7–14] vs. 11 [7.5–13.5] weeks; p = 0.693). In the multivariate linear regression analysis, self-employment vs. employee (p = 0.001), dimension of preoperative workload (p = 0.001), preoperative sick leave (p < 0.001), and hospital length of stay (LOS) (p < 0.001) independently affected the period until work was resumed. The Forgotten-Joint-Score-12 showed no significant difference between the two groups. The data show that the majority of THA patients can expect to resume work and stem design has no impact on RTW. Employees with preoperative sick leave, prolonged hospital LOS and low workload are at higher risk for a delayed RTW.

Background and Objective. Intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck account for a major share of fractures in the elderly. Open reduction and internal fixation has been shown to have a higher rate of revision surgery than arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the rates of revision surgery performed after internal fixation and primary total hip arthroplasty. Material and Methods. Between 2004 and 2006, 681 intracapsular femoral neck fractures in 679 consecutive patients were treated with internal fixation or total hip arthroplasty at our institution. Revision surgery rates were evaluated at 1-, 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month follow-up. Results. There was no significant difference in the ratio of internal fixation to total hip arthroplasty during 2004–2006 (P=0.31). The mean rate of total hip arthroplasty was 19.1% with a lower rate being among patients younger than 60 years. Revision surgery rates at the 2-year followup were higher in the internal fixation group compared with total hip arthroplasty group (28.9% vs. 7.0%, P<0.001). Patients who underwent internal fixation were at a 4-fold greater risk of having revision surgery at the 2-year follow-up than those who underwent total hip arthroplasty (odds ratio, 4.11; 95% CI, 1.95–8.65; P<0.001). Age was a significant risk factor for revision surgery after total hip arthroplasty (hazard ratio, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.87–0.98; P=0.02), but not significant after the internal fixation (P=0.86). Conclusions. Higher revision surgery rates after internal fixation favors arthroplasty as a primary choice of treatment for the femoral neck fractures.

The present concepts in Total Hip Arthroplasty advocate mechanical cement interlock with trabecular bone utilising the third-generation cementing technique. However, the force generated can easily reach peak pressure of 122 kPa to 1500 kPa, leading to extrusion of cement through nutrient foramina into femoral cortex into nutrient vessels, henceforth the retrograde arteriovenogram. A 76 years old lady who premorbid ADLindependent had a fall and sustained a closed right neck of femur fracture. She underwent cemented right total hip arthroplasty. Acetabulum cup of 47mm and femoral stem size 1 was utilized. Femoral canal was prepared and medullary cavity plug inserted before retrograde cement was introduced using the cementing gun. Intraoperative no complications were noted. This case has been followed up to a year with no adverse effect. The post-operative radiograph demonstrated a linear radio-opacity communicating with the posterior aspect of the femoral shaft which continues proximally and medially for approximately 10cm. Its uniformity in shape and position corresponds to the vascular supply of proximal femur. In Farouk et al cadaveric study, nutrient vessel arises in 166 ± 10 mm from the greater trochanter and is a branch of the second perforating artery from the deep femoral artery. Knight et al infer that retrograde cement extrusion occurs in female patients with small stature and small endosteal canal. Cement extrusion unlikely will influence the long haul survival of prosthesis as shown in the radiograph that cement is well pressurized to interlock with the endosteal bone. Moreover, because of extensive anastomoses of perforating branches of the deep femoral artery, segmental obliteration of nutrient artery alone is unlikely to lead to vascularity issues. Cement extrusion into the nutrient foramen is a vital differential in presence of posterior medial cement in the diaphysis of the femur following total hip replacement. This is to differentiate from extra osseous extrusions due to the iatrogenic breach of the femoral cortex suggesting periprosthetic fracture which affects the long term survival of prosthesis.

Background: Dislocation continues to be a common complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although previous studies of computed simulation analysis investigated the range of motion (ROM), it is unclear whether the ROM before impingement simulated using computed tomography-based 3-dimensional simulation analysis (simulated ROM) is related to dislocation after THA. It is also unclear what angles are required in computed simulation analyses for stable hips after THA. In this study, we compared the simulated ROM in patients with and without dislocation. Methods: 16 patients with posterior dislocation were compared with 48 matched patients without dislocation. Risk factors including preoperative bone morphology of the hip, implant position, change of femoral offset, change of leg length, anterior aspect of the greater trochanter (GTa) length, and anterior inferior iliac spine length were also compared. Results: The mean flexion angle, internal-rotation at 90° flexion (IR) angle, cup anteversion based on the anterior pelvic plane (APP), tilt-adjusted cup anteversion and GTa length were significantly different between patients with dislocation and patients without dislocation ( p = 0.033, 0.002, 0.010, 0.047, 0.046). A receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis suggested cutoff points for flexion angle, IR angle, cup anteversion based on the APP, tilt-adjusted cup anteversion and GTa length, of 114.5°, 45.5°, 19.5°, 12.0° and 15.3 mm. Conclusions: This study suggests that preoperative planning to achieve a larger simulated ROM, flexion angle and IR angle, may reduce the risk of posterior dislocation. This study also suggests that fine-tuning of cup anteversion and/or trimming of the overhanging GTa during preoperative planning may reduce the risk of posterior dislocation.

Objectives: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most effective orthopedic interventions for the treatment of patients with advanced‑ stage hip disease. However, reports regarding indications for primary THA in Saudi Arabia are limited. We aimed to evaluate primary indications for THA and identify associated chronic diseases and postoperative complications in THA patients at a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. These are important to provide knowledge on types of hip diseases and variables that may affect the outcome of this intervention in the Saudi population. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of THA cases performed between 2010 and 2019 at a tertiary center in Saudi Arabia. Retrieved data include patients’ ages at the time of surgery, chronic diseases, presurgical diagnosis, site and duration of surgery, and postoperative complications. Results: We identified 83 patients who had undergone primary THA; in regard to comorbidities, 32.5% and 30.1% had hypertension and diabetes mellitus, respectively. The most common indication for THA was degenerative hip osteoarthritis (50.6%), followed by post-traumatic arthritis (22.9%) and hip avascular necrosis (20.5%). Conclusion: Despite the high rate of trauma and accidents in Saudi Arabia, degenerative osteoarthritis remains the most common indication for primary THA. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis is identified as the second major indication for THA.
