The functional positioning of components in a total hip arthroplasty (THA) and its relationship with individual lumbopelvic kinematics and a patient’s anatomy are being extensively studied. Patient-specific kinematic planning could be a game-changer; however, it should be accurately delivered intraoperatively. The main purpose of this study was to verify the reliability and accuracy of a patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and laser-guided technique to replicate preoperative dynamic planning. Thirty-six patients were prospectively enrolled and received dynamic hip preoperative planning based on three functional lateral spinopelvic X-rays and a low dose CT scan. Three-dimensional (3D) printed PSI guides and laser-guided instrumentation were used intraoperatively. The orientation of the components, osteotomy level and change in hip length and offset were measured on postoperative CT scans and compared with the planned preoperative values. The length of surgery was compared with that of a matched group of thirty-six patients who underwent a conventional THA. The mean absolute deviation from the planned inclination and anteversion was 3.9° and 4.4°, respectively. In 92% of cases, both the inclination and anteversion were within +/− 10° of the planned values. Regarding the osteotomy level, offset change and limb length change, the mean deviation was, respectively, 1.6 mm, 2.6 mm and 2 mm. No statistically significant difference was detected when comparing the planned values with the achieved values. The mean surgical time was 71.4 min in the PSI group and 60.4 min in the conventional THA group (p < 0.05). Patient-specific and laser-guided instrumentation is safe and accurately reproduces dynamic planning in terms of the orientation of the components, osteotomy level, leg length and offset. Moreover, the increase in surgical time is negligible.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiographic results of 28-mm ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) total hip arthroplasty (THA) to those of 32-mm CoC during a 5- to 15-year follow-up period. Methods: 107 joints (95 women and 6 men) underwent 28-mm CoC, and 60 (49 women and 7 men) underwent 32-mm CoC. The average patient age at the time of surgery was 56.1 and 55.7 years in the 28-mm and 32-mm CoC groups, respectively. Clinical and radiologic measurements of all patients were analysed. Results: The mean preoperative Harris hip score (HHS) was similar in the 2 groups (28-mm, 58.9; and 32-mm, 58.5). However, at final follow-up, the mean HHS of the 32-mm CoC (91.8) was significantly better than that of the 28-mm CoC (88.2) ( p = 0.003), as were the ranges of motion (ROM) for flexion (98.3 ± 13.5° vs. 87.3 ± 19.3°, p < 0.001) and abduction (27.8 ± 14.9° vs. 22.1 ± 19.3°, p = 0.007). The mean wear rate was 0.0044 mm/year for the 28-mm CoC and 0.0044 mm/year for the 32-mm CoC. No ceramic fractures were found in the 2 groups. One joint in the 28-mm CoC (0.9%) required revision owing to progressive osteolysis. Kaplan-Meier survival at 10 years, with implant loosening or revision THA as the endpoint, was 98.3% for 28-mm CoC and 100% for 32-mm CoC ( p = 0.465). Conclusion: There was no significant difference in ceramic-related complications between the 2 groups. Our study demonstrated that the 32-mm and 28-mm CoC are safe and are associated with good clinical outcomes.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using computer navigation systems (nTHA) and those of robotic arm-assisted THA (rTHA).Methods Thirty prospective subjects who underwent rTHA were clinically compared with 30 subjects who underwent nTHA. Clinical data (the surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, pain severity, number of days to independent walking, and Harris Hip Score (HHS) at discharge) and radiographic parameters (the inclination and anteversion angles) were statistically compared between the two groups. Results The surgical time, number of days to independent walking, and postoperative pain were significantly reduced in the rTHA group than in the nTHA group. The rTHA group showed a significantly higher postoperative HHS than did the nTHA group. No statistically significant difference was observed in radiographic parameters between the groups.Conclusion The surgical time, postoperative pain, and number of days to independent walking were significantly shorter, and the HHS at discharge was significantly higher in the rTHA group than in the nTHA group. Thus, as compared to nTHA, rTHA improved early clinical outcomes.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been quoted as one of the most successful and cost-effective procedures in Orthopaedics. The last decade has seen an exponential rise in the number of THAs performed globally and a sharp increase in the percentage of young patients hoping to improve their quality of life and return to physically demanding activities. Hence, it is imperative to review the various applications of technology in total hip arthroplasty for improving outcomes. The development of state-of-the-art robotic technology has enabled more reproducible and accurate acetabular positioning, while long-term data are needed to assess its cost-effectiveness. This opinion piece aims to outline and present the advances and innovations in total hip arthroplasty, from virtual reality and three-dimensional printing to patient-specific instrumentation and dual mobility bearings. This illustrates and reflects the debate that will be at the centre of hip surgery for the next decade.

Abstract Background The study aimed to evaluate the functional and radiographical results of asymmetrically reconstructed total hip arthroplasty in patients with bilateral dysplastic arthritic hips with one hip Crowe II–III and the other hip Crowe IV. Materials and methods From April 2006 to April 2019, we evaluated 23 patients who had a reconstruction of one Crowe II–III hip with high hip center (HHC) and the other Crowe IV hip at the anatomical position (H group). The radiographic and clinical outcomes were compared with those of a control group of 19 patients with bilateral dysplasia who had one Crowe IV hip and the contralateral hip both reconstructed in the anatomical position (A group). Medical records and radiographs were reviewed, and a complete follow-up was conducted for all patients. Results The mean vertical center of rotation (V-COR) and horizontal center of rotation (H-COR) in the H group were 30.6 ± 5.8 mm and 30.0 ± 5.5 mm, respectively. In the A group, the corresponding values were 14.0 ± 4.3 mm and 23.0 ± 2.3 mm, respectively. A significant difference was found in terms of V-COR and H-COR between the two groups, and no significant difference was shown regarding the cup inclination, abductor lever arm (ALA), ALA ratio, and leg length discrepancy (LLD). Three patients of the H group and four patients of the A group exhibited LLD > 10 mm. All seven patients who had LLD > 10 mm underwent the shortening subtrochanteric osteotomy (SSTO) of the Crowe IV hip. Subgroup analysis based on the presence and absence of SSTO showed that the LLD of the SSTO group was greater than that of the non-SSTO group in both groups, but the difference was only statistically significant in the A group. At the last follow-up, the mean Harris Hip Scores significantly improved in the two groups, and there was no revision during the follow-up period. In the H group, four patients presented with a slight limp and three patients with a moderate limp, while it was six patients and one patient in the A group, respectively. Conclusions Asymmetrical reconstruction in patients with bilateral dysplastic arthritic hips with one hip Crowe II–III and the other Crowe IV is acceptable and comparable when compared with bilateral anatomical reconstruction.

The Relationship

Abstract Background: Precise acetabular cup placement is essential for successful total hip arthroplasty (THA). In obese patients, its accuracy is often difficult to achieve because of the thickness of the soft tissues. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the accuracy of acetabular cup angle and body mass index (BMI) in posterolateral THA using the computed tomography-based navigation (CT-navi) system.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 145 consecutive primary THAs using the CT-navi system between January 2015 and January 2018. All surgeries were performed using cementless cups employing the posterolateral approach with the patient in the decubitus position. We compared the radiographic inclination and anteversion obtained from the angle displayed on the CT-navi screen with those measured by the postoperative CT using the three-dimensional templating software. We evaluated the relationship between the extent of errors and correlation with BMI. Statistical analyses were performed using the Student’s t-test and Spearman’s rank coefficient test.Results: In non-overweight patients (BMI < 25, 88 hips), the mean navigation errors for inclination were 2.8 ± 2.2° and for anteversion were 2.6 ± 2.3°. Meanwhile, in overweight patients (BMI ≥ 25, 57 hips), the mean navigation errors were 2.6 ± 2.4° for inclination and 2.4 ± 2.4° for anteversion. We found no significant difference between overweight and non-overweight patients in both inclination and anteversion. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients were -0.04 for inclination and -0.11 for anteversion, showing no correlation between the extent of errors and BMI.Conclusions: In posterolateral THA, CT-navi can aid the precise placement of the acetabular cup irrespective of a patient’s BMI.Trial registration: This trial was retrospectively registered and approved by the institutional ethics committee of Teikyo University. The registration number is 17-190, and the date of approval was March 1, 2018. URL of trial registry is: https://www.teikyo-u.ac.jp/application/files/7015/8432/1341/2016_all_syounin_1.pdf

Abstract Background This study primarily aims to examine the effect of lumbar fusion on changes in sagittal pelvic tilt (SPT) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. Methods We reviewed 19 hip osteoarthritic patients undergoing THA with or without lumbar fusion. The gender, age, primary disease, Deyo comorbidity score, and year of surgery were sorted and matched. All patients were followed up for at least 12 months. They were compared in terms of the SPT angle, Harris hip score (HHS) and complications. Results On average, the patients receiving lumbar fusion had a − 3.9 (95% CI − 7.7 to − 1.5) degrees of SPT before THA and − 2.7 (95% CI − 6.5 to 1.1) degrees postoperatively, and the THA patients without lumbar fusion averaged 2.5 (95% CI − 0.1 to 5.0) degrees and 4.2 (95% CI 2.0 to 6.4) degrees, respectively. In the lumbar fusion patients, the mean SPT was − 3.9 (95% CI − 9.9 to 2.0) degrees with L5S1 fusion and − 4.0(95% CI − 10.0 to 2.1) degrees without L5S1 fusion on the standing radiograph before THA (t = 0.01, P = 0.99). The mean SPT was − 1.2 (95% CI − 4.9 to 2.6) degrees with one- and two-segment fusion and − 10.0 (95% CI − 18.5 to 1.5) degrees with three- and four-segment fusion before THA (t = 2.60, P = 0.02). There was no statistically significant difference in cup inclination and cup anteversion after THA between the lumbar fusion and control groups. These patients in the two groups achieved a similar HHS 12 months after THA despite the fact that they had different SPT and HHS before THA. Conclusion Lumbar fusion appears to increase the posterior SPT by approximately 6 degrees in the patients undergoing THA. Lumbar fusion of more than two segments is a predictor of more posterior SPT changes, but fusion of L5S1 is not.

Abstract Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a widely performed reconstructive surgical intervention. In this paper, we describe a novel patient-specific navigational template to assist in acetabular component implantation in unilateral THA. Methods The template was produced based on data preoperatively acquired with computed tomography (CT) scan. We used the mirror image of the healthy contralateral acetabular anatomical structure to ensure accurate acetabular component implantation in unilateral THA. The surface of the template was designed to conform to the unique contours of the cadaveric acetabular fossa by reverse engineering technology. The orientation of the navigation channel was defined by the acetabular central axis which was determined by the contralateral acetabular centre of rotation, anteversion angle and abduction angle. Each template was formed from acrylate resin by using rapid prototyping (RP) technique. Finally, the template was tested in 20 cadavers scheduled for unilateral THA and postoperative medical imaging was used to evaluate the accuracy and validity of the template. Results During the operation, the acetabular fossa template was easy to obtain in all cases. The abduction angle ( β ) of the cup was (49.9°±4.1°) versus (49.5°±4.7°) on the contralateral side. The anteversion angle (α) of the cup was (17.7° ± 3.1°) versus (18.3°±3.5°) on the contralateral side. In the operative hip, the height of the prosthesis centre(H)was (21.6 mm±2.8 mm) versus (21.9 mm±3.4 mm) in the contralateral side, and the horizontal location of the prosthesis centre(W) was (29.7 mm±3.1 mm) versus (30.90 mm±3.31 mm) in the contralateral side. There was no significant difference in the cup abduction (β) or anteversion (α) angle between the operative and contralateral sides (P=0.7531>0.05 for β and P=0.5996>0.05 for α); In addition, there was no significant difference in the height(H)or horizontal location(W) of the acetabular centre between the operative and contralateral sides (P=0.6494>0.05 for W and P=0.5143>0.05 for H). Conclusion The navigational template is a promising tool for facilitating preoperative planning and intraoperative techniques. With the aid of the template, an acetabular prosthesis can be precisely implanted to the expected position in unilateral THA.

To investigate the accuracy of a novel 3D CT scan-based preoperative planning software linked to patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) for placing acetabular components planning in patients with acetabular dysplasia undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). A total of 30 consecutive patients were prospectively enrolled and the accuracy of placement of the acetabular component was measured using post- operative CT scans. There was good reproducibility of preoperative and postoperative position of reconstructed rotation center. The mean absolute deviation from the planned inclination and anteversion was 6.2° and 4.8°, respectively. In 90% of cases the planned target of +/-5° was achieved for both inclination and anteversion. And 95% of cases of planned target of +/-3mm were achieved for vertical height of rotation center. Accurate placement of the acetabular component can be achieved using patient-specific guides and is superior to free hand techniques.

Abstract Background This study compared the early clinical recovery of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using computer navigation systems (nTHA) and robotic arm-assisted THA (rTHA). Methods Thirty prospective subjects who underwent rTHA were clinically compared to 30 subjects who underwent nTHA. Clinical data (surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, pain severity, number of days to independent walking, and Harris Hip Score (HHS) at discharge), and radiographic parameters (inclination and anteversion angles) were statistically compared between the two groups. Results Follow-up times were 24.3 ± 6.0 and 27.0 ± 7.0 days in the rTHA and nTHA groups, respectively. The surgical time (135.1 ± 13.9 min vs. 146.2 ± 12.8 min, p = 0.002), number of days to independent walking (7.2 ± 2.0 vs. 11.5 ± 3.0 days, p < 0.001), and postoperative pain using a numeric rating scale on postoperative days 7, 10,, and 14 (1.4 ± 0.9 vs. 2.2 ± 1.2, p = 0.005; 1.0 ± 0.8 vs. 1.8 ± 1.1, p = 0.002; 0.3 ± 0.5 vs. 1.1 ± 0.9, p < 0.001; respectively) were significantly reduced in the rTHA group compared to the nTHA group. The rTHA group showed a significantly higher postoperative HHS compared to the nTHA group (85.3 ± .3.2 vs. 81.0 ± 8.5, p = 0.014). No statistically significant difference was observed in radiographic parameters between the groups; however, the incidence of intraoperative target angle changes was significantly lower in the rTHA group than in the nTHA group (0/30 subjects [0%] vs. 11/30 subjects [36.7%], p < 0.001). Conclusion The surgical time, postoperative pain, and number of days to independent walking were significantly shorter, and the HHS at discharge was significantly higher in the rTHA group than in the nTHA group. Thus, compared to the nTHA group, the rTHA group showed improved early clinical recovery.
