RESUMEN
AIM OF THE STUDY: To compare the outcomes after computer-assisted peri-acetabular osteotomy (PAO) and conventional PAO performed for hip dysplasia (DDH). METHODS: Ninety-one patients (98 hips) were enrolled in this study. In each case, DDH was treated with either conventional PAO, in which the angle and direction of the osteotomy was determined by intra-operative X-ray examination, or with computer-assisted PAO, which used the 3D navigation system. Forty hips underwent conventional PAO and 58 hips underwent computer-assisted PAO. RESULTS: Japanese Orthopaedic Association hip scores improved significantly from 70.0 points pre-operatively to 90.7 points post-operatively in patients with conventional PAO, and from 74.5 points pre-operatively to 94.2 points post-operatively in patients with computer-assisted PAO. In all patients with computer-assisted PAO, the post-operative AHI and VCA angle were within the radiographic target zone. Some patients with conventional PAO had post-operative AHI and VCA angle outside of the target zone. We performed total hip arthroplasty (THA) on five of the 98 PAO hips (5.1%) after an average follow-up period of 5.4 years. None of 58 hips (0%) with computer-assisted PAO was revised. DISCUSSION: Computer-assisted PAO enabled intra-operative confirmation of osteotomy sites, and the position of the osteotomized bone fragment could be confirmed in real time. Adequate anterior and lateral coverage of the femoral head in patients with computer-assisted PAO resulted in no need for early conversion to THA, in contrast to conventional PAO. CONCLUSION: Computer-assisted PAO not only improved accuracy and safety but also achieved sufficient anterior and lateral displacement to prevent the progression of DDH.

Studies over the past decade have reported that the use of highly porous sockets in total hip arthroplasty (THA) results in osseointegration and long-term implant stability. However, some reports have raised concerns regarding radiographic evidence of poor osseointegration with features of fibrous tissue ingrowth. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiographic assessments of highly porous sockets with those of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated porous sockets in THA for hip dysplasia (DDH) at least 1 year after surgery. A total of 127 patients (136 hips) were recruited for the study. Of these, 94 patients (101 hips) received highly porous sockets with clustered screws, while 33 patients (35 hips) received HA-coated porous sockets with clustered screws. There was no difference in clinical outcomes between the two types of sockets. All HA-coated porous sockets were radiographically stable, without radiolucent lines. Fifteen hips had radiolucent lines in two or three DeLee and Charnley zones, accompanied by sclerotic lines along the circumferences of the highly porous sockets. A significant difference in the height of the preoperative osteophyte of the anterior acetabular wall was observed between 86 hips with one or no radiolucent lines and 15 hips with two or three radiolucent lines. In cases of DDH with atrophic bone remodeling pattern, highly porous sockets with multiple screws may be used, while HA-coated porous sockets with clustered screws result in better sealing of the bone-component interface.

BACKGROUND: In order to prevent postoperative dislocation due to prosthetic impingement as a result of total hip arthroplasty (THA), the combined anteversion (CA) theory, which combines the anteversion of the femoral stem and the acetabular socket, has been revised in recent years. Particularly, it is necessary to keep CA within the target zone. METHODS: The aim of this study was to investigate whether postoperative CA can be kept within the target zone while using the operative technique which prepares the socket first in cementless THA, by estimating the anteversion of the metaphyseal fit stem or the shorter, tapered wedge stem using preoperative 3-dimensional computerized planning, and by adjusting the anteversion of the socket using a navigation system that considers CA. One hundred fourteen patients (118 hips) were recruited for the study. RESULTS: Postoperative CA in THA using the metaphyseal fit stem was kept within the target zone for 56 of the 60 hips (93.3%). Using the shorter, tapered wedge stem, 49 of the 58 hips (84.4%) were within the target zone. No postoperative dislocations were observed in any hips. CONCLUSION: We found that the metaphyseal fit stem worked better than the shorter, tapered wedge stem in terms of meeting the planned CA. The shorter, tapered wedge stems were flexible in rotation according to the anatomical configuration of the proximal femur. Therefore, the stem could be placed second with the metaphyseal fit stem, but we recommend placing the stem first with the shorter, tapered wedge stem.

BACKGROUND: Acetabular retroversion is a rotatory abnormality of the entire hemipelvis that includes anterior over-coverage and posterior deficiency of the acetabulum, and is associated with pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement and posterior hip instability. Acetabular retroversion is thought to cause posterior dislocation of the hip in athletes due to both the pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement and posterior hip instability. CASE PRESENTATION: A 26-year-old Japanese man had acetabular retroversion that induced recurrent posterior dislocation of his hip due to excessive hip flexion while wakeboarding. We performed anteverting eccentric rotational acetabular osteotomy using preoperative three-dimensional planning and an intraoperative computerized navigation system. Our patient was able to return to sports activities 1 year postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: Both preoperative three-dimensional surgical planning software and an intraoperative navigation system can provide a highly accurate map for this complicated surgery that simultaneously improves the pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement and posterior deficiency of the acetabulum.
