Limb Length Inequality

<p class="abstract">Correcting limb length inequality without compromising hip stability is one of the major intraoperative challenges in Total hip arthroplasty (THA) as it is a major cause of patient dissatisfaction and litigation against surgeon. Surgeons performing THA should aim to minimize Limb Length Discrepancy (LLD), and therefore should adopt a reliable method of doing so. Thus a reproducible technique which effectively reduces postoperative LLD without increasing operative time and is easy to apply is a need of time. Although various preoperative and intraoperative techniques are described in literature, none is universally applicable and is without limitations. We are presenting a review of 50 articles on limb length discrepancy after total hip arthroplasty, its implications and several techniques to avoid it. We suggest that every effort should be made to minimise postoperative Limb Length Discrepancy by combined use of preoperative and intraoperative techniques.</p>

Background: It is important to maintain soft-tissue balance and prevent muscle contractures after hip reduction during total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). To make such hips functional and durable, the techniques to achieve soft-tissue balance were studied to create an algorithm for intraoperative 2-stage evaluation of muscle contractures, specifying the optimal order for contracture release. Methods: Between February 2011 and March 2015, we evaluated 64 patients (75 hips) with DDH for muscle contractures as they underwent THA. Following acetabular implantation, femoral osteotomy was applied of various lengths according to limb-length discrepancy. First, the distal part of the femur was prepared by broaching, and the hip was then reduced. The tensor fascia lata, rectus femoris, sartorius, hamstrings, and adductor muscles were evaluated, and any contractures were released. A trial conjoining of the distal and proximal parts of the femur was made, and the hip was reduced again. Finally, the iliopsoas and abductor muscles were evaluated, and contractures were released. Results: The mean follow-up duration was 4.6 years. Preoperative and postoperative Harris Hip Scores were 52 and 87, respectively. Limb-length discrepancy was mean 4.2 cm preoperatively, and <1 cm postoperatively. All contractures were released according to our newly developed algorithm. Conclusions: It is challenging to pinpoint the main muscle causing contractures, because other muscles acting on the hip joint have similar secondary functions. The method we describe here may provide better and more specific restoration of muscle function in a hypoplastic hemipelvis in DDH.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of implant position of robotic-arm assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) via the direct anterior approach (DAA). Materials and Methods: All patients who underwent robotic-arm assisted DAA THA (MAKO Surgical Corp., Ft. Lauderdale, Florida) from November 2018 to January 2020 were prospectively followed up. Pelvis indices (limb length discrepancy, femoral and hip offset, implant inclination, and anteversion), surgical duration, length of stay, and complications were recorded. To further evaluate the accuracy of robotic-arm assisted THA, patients who underwent manual DAA THA by the same surgeon were match-paired with the study group. Results: Twenty-five patients underwent robotic-arm assisted DAA THR. Limb length discrepancy was restored to 0.1mm (±3.4mm) from 10.0mm (±6.4mm) postoperatively. Preoperatively, the difference in femoral offset was 5.1mm (±5.1mm), and this was corrected to 1.9mm (±6.5mm) postoperatively. Nine cases had target inclination of 40° and mean inclination achieved was 40.7° (±0.9°). Sixteen cases had target inclination of 45° and mean inclination achieved was 45.3° (±1.0°). Mean anteversion was 19.5° (±2.4°). Propensity matched analysis showed that the root mean square errors for manual cup implantation compared to the robotic-arm assisted group was 2.3 times higher for anteversion and 6.3 times higher for inclination. Fourteen (56%) of the cups were within Callanan safe-zone and 18 (72%) within Lewinnek safe-zone in the manual group compared to 18 (72%) and 25 (100%), respectively, in the robotic-arm assisted group. Conclusion: Combining the muscle-sparing technique of DAA with the improved implant placement with the robotic-arm assisted platform is a promising solution to improving THA outcomes.
