RESUMO
Background: Hip dysplasia is considered one of the leading etiologies contributing to hip degeneration and the eventual need for total hip arthroplasty (THA). We validated a deep learning (DL) algorithm to measure angles relevant to hip dysplasia and applied this algorithm to determine the prevalence of dysplasia in a large population based on incremental radiographic cutoffs. Methods: Patients from the Osteoarthritis Initiative with anteroposterior pelvis radiographs and without previous THAs were included. A DL algorithm automated 3 angles associated with hip dysplasia: modified lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), Tönnis angle, and modified Sharp angle. The algorithm was validated against manual measurements, and all angles were measured in a cohort of 3869 patients (61.2 ± 9.2 years, 57.1% female). The percentile distributions and prevalence of dysplastic hips were analyzed using each angle. Results: The algorithm had no significant difference (P > .05) in measurements (paired difference: 0.3°-0.7°) against readers and had excellent agreement for dysplasia classification (kappa = 0.78-0.88). In 140 minutes, 23,214 measurements were automated for 3869 patients. LCEA and Sharp angles were higher and the Tönnis angle was lower (P < .01) in females. The dysplastic hip prevalence varied from 2.5% to 20% utilizing the following cutoffs: 17.3°-25.5° (LCEA), 9.4°-15.6° (Tönnis), and 41.3°-45.9° (Sharp). Conclusions: A DL algorithm was developed to measure and classify hips with mild hip dysplasia. The reported prevalence of dysplasia in a large patient cohort was dependent on both the measurement and threshold, with 12.4% of patients having dysplasia radiographic indices indicative of higher THA risk.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has regained interest for its potential for long-term biologic fixation. The density of the bone is related to its ability to resist static and cyclic loading and can affect long-term implant fixation; however, little is known about the density distribution of periarticular bone in TKA patients. Thus, we sought to characterize the bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal tibia in TKA patients. METHODS: We included 42 women and 50 men (mean age 63 years, range: 50 to 87; mean body mass index 31.6, range: 20.5 to 49.1) who underwent robotic-assisted TKA and had preoperative computed tomography scans with a BMD calibration phantom. Using the robotic surgical plan, we computed the BMD distribution at 1 mm-spaced cross-sections parallel to the tibial cut from 2 mm above the cut to 10 mm below. The BMD was analyzed with respect to patient sex, age, preoperative alignment, and type of fixation. RESULTS: The BMD decreased from proximal to distal. The greatest changes occurred within ± 2 mm of the tibial cut. Age did not affect BMD for men; however, women between 60 and 70 years had higher BMD than women ≥ 70 years for the total cut (P = .03) and the medial half of the cut (P = .03). Cemented implants were used in 1 86-year-old man and 18 women (seven < 60 years, seven 60 to 70 years, and four ≥ 70 year old). We found only BMD differences between cemented or cementless fixation for women < 60 years. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first study to characterize the preoperative BMD distribution in TKA patients relative to the intraoperative tibial cut. Our results indicate that while sex and age may be useful surrogates of BMD, the clinically relevant thresholds for cementless knees remain unclear, offering an area for future studies.

BACKGROUND: Individualized alignment techniques have gained major interest in an effort to increase satisfaction among total knee arthroplasty patients. This study aimed to compare postoperative alignment between kinematic alignment (KA) and mechanical alignment (MA) and assess whether KA significantly deviates from the principle of aligning the limb as close to neutral alignment as possible. METHODS: There were 234 patients who underwent robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty using an unrestricted KA and a strict MA technique (KA: 145, MA: 89). The lateral distal femoral angle, medial proximal tibia angle, and the resultant arithmetic hip-knee-ankle angle (aHKA) were measured. The aHKA < 0 indicated varus alignment, while the aHKA > 0 indicated valgus knee alignment. The primary outcome was the frequency of cases that resulted in an aHKA of ± 4° of neutral (0°), as assessed on full-leg standing radiographs obtained at 6 weeks postoperatively. The secondary outcome was the change in coronal plane alignment of the knee classification type from preoperative to postoperative between the MA and KA groups. RESULTS: The mean preoperative aHKA was similar between the 2 groups (P = .19). The KA group had a mean postoperative aHKA of -1.4 ± 2.4°, while the MA group had a mean postoperative aHKA of -0.5 ± 2.1°. No significant difference in limb alignment was identified between KA and MA cases that resulted in hip-knee-ankle angle of ± 4° being neutral (91.7 versus 96.6%, P = .14). There were 97.2% of cases in the KA group that fell within the ± 5° range. The MA group was associated with a significantly higher rate of coronal plane alignment of the knee classification type change from preoperatively to postoperatively (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Kinematic alignment achieved similar postoperative aHKA compared to MA, and thus did not significantly deviate from the principle of aligning the limb as close to neutral alignment as possible. Surgeons should feel comfortable starting to introduce individualized alignment techniques. Without being restricted by boundaries, postoperative alignment will be within 5 degrees of neutral 97% of the time.

BACKGROUND: There is no consensus on whether direct anterior approach (DAA) or postero-lateral approach (PLA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) confers a lower risk of postoperative complications. Robotic assistance in THA results in a more consistently accurate component position compared to manual THA. The objective of this study was to compare rates of dislocation, reoperation, revision, and patient-reported outcome measures between patients undergoing DAA and PLA robotic-assisted primary THA. METHODS: We identified 2,040 consecutive robotic-assisted primary THAs performed for primary osteoarthritis, using DAA (n = 497) or PLA (n = 1,542) between 2017 and 2020. The mean follow-up was 18 months. Kaplan-Meier analysis estimated survivorship free of dislocation, reoperation, and revision. Achievement of patient acceptable symptom state and minimum clinically important difference were used to compare changes in the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Joint Replacement (HOOS JR) and Visual Analog Scale. RESULTS: Dislocation was rare in this series (14 in 2,040, 0.7%), including 1 of 497 (0.2%) in the DAA cohort and 13 of 1,542 (0.8%) in the PLA cohort (P = .210). There was no difference in 2-year reoperation-free survivorship (97.8 versus 98.6%, P = .59) or revision-free survivorship (98.8 versus 99.0%, P = .87) at any time point. After controlling for age, sex, and body mass index, there was no difference in dislocation, reoperation, or revision. At 6-week follow-up, after controlling for age, sex, and body mass index, patients in the DAA cohort had higher odds of achieving HOOS JR minimum clinically important difference (odds ratio = 2.01, P = .012) and HOOS JR patient acceptable symptom state (odds ratio = 1.72, P = .028). There were no differences in patient-reported outcome measures by 3 months. CONCLUSIONS: For robotic-assisted primary THA, DAA may confer enhanced early (<6 weeks) functional recovery compared to the PLA, but there was no significant difference in postoperative dislocation, reoperation, or revision rates.

Aims: Periprosthetic femoral fracture (PPF) is a major complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Uncemented femoral components are widely preferred in primary THA, but are associated with higher PPF risk than cemented components. Collared components have reduced PPF rates following uncemented primary THA compared to collarless components, while maintaining similar prosthetic designs. The purpose of this study was to analyze PPF rate between collarless and collared component designs in a consecutive cohort of posterior approach THAs performed by two high-volume surgeons. Methods: This retrospective series included 1,888 uncemented primary THAs using the posterior approach performed by two surgeons (PKS, JMV) from January 2016 to December 2022. Both surgeons switched from collarless to collared components in mid-2020, which was the only change in surgical practice. Data related to component design, PPF rate, and requirement for revision surgery were collected. A total of 1,123 patients (59.5%) received a collarless femoral component and 765 (40.5%) received a collared component. PPFs were identified using medical records and radiological imaging. Fracture rates between collared and collarless components were analyzed. Power analysis confirmed 80% power of the sample to detect a significant difference in PPF rates, and a Fisher's exact test was performed to determine an association between collared and collarless component use on PPF rates. Results: Overall, 17 PPFs occurred (0.9%). There were 16 fractures out of 1,123 collarless femoral components (1.42%) and one fracture out of 765 collared components (0.13%; p = 0.002). The majority of fractures (n = 14; 82.4%) occurred within 90 days of primary THA. There were ten reoperations for PPF with collarless components (0.89%) and one reoperation with a collared component (0.13%; p = 0.034). Conclusion: Collared femoral components were associated with significant decreases in PPF rate and reoperation rate for PPF compared to collarless components in uncemented primary THA. Future studies should investigate whether new-generation collared components reduce PPF rates with longer-term follow-up.

The optimal force applied during ligament balancing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is not well understood. We quantified the effect of increasing distraction force on medial and lateral gaps throughout the range of knee motion, both prior to and after femoral resections in tibial-first gap-balancing TKA. Twenty-five consecutive knees in 21 patients underwent robotic-assisted TKA. The posterior cruciate ligament was resected, and the tibia was cut neutral to the mechanical axis. A digital ligament tensioning tool recorded gaps and applied equal mediolateral loads of 70 N (baseline), 90 N, and 110 N from 90 degrees to full extension. A gap-balancing algorithm planned the femoral implant position to achieve a balanced knee throughout flexion. After femoral resections, gap measurements were repeated under the same conditions. Paired t-tests identified gap differences between load levels, medial/lateral compartments, and flexion angle. Gaps increased from 0 to 20 degrees in flexion, then remain consistent through 90 degrees of flexion. Baseline medial gap was significantly smaller than lateral gap throughout flexion (p <0.05). Increasing load had a larger effect on the lateral versus medial gaps (p <0.05) and on flexion versus extension gaps. Increasing distraction force resulted in non-linear and asymmetric gap changes mediolaterally and from flexion to extension. Digital ligament tensioning devices can give better understanding of the relationship between joint distraction, ligament tension, and knee stiffness throughout the range of flexion. This can aid in informed surgical decision making and optimal soft tissue tensioning during TKA.

BACKGROUND: Patients who have spinal stiffness and deformity are at the highest risk for dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Previous reports of this cohort are limited to antero-lateral and postero-lateral (PL) approaches. We investigated the dislocation rate after direct anterior (DA) and PL approach THA with a contemporary high-risk protocol to optimize stability. METHODS: We investigated patients undergoing THA who had preoperative biplanar imaging from January-December 2019. Patients were identified using radiographic criteria of spinal-stiffness (<10-degree change in sacral slope from standing to seated) and deformity (flatback deformity with >10-degree difference in pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis). There were 367 patients identified (181 DA, 186 PL). The primary outcome was dislocation rate at 2-years postoperatively. Risk-factors for dislocation were evaluated using logistic regressions (significance level of 0.05). RESULTS: There were 6 (1.6%) dislocations in the entire cohort, with low dislocation rates for both DA (0.6%) and PL-THA (2.7%). We observed increased utilization of dual mobility with larger outer head bearings (>38 mm) with PL-THA (34.4 versus 5.0%, P < .01) and conversely increased utilization of 32-mm femoral-heads with DA-THA (39.4 versus 7.0%, P < .001). Surgical approach (PL) was not a significant risk-factor for dislocation (odds ratio: 5.03, P = .15). Patients who had a history of lumbar-fusion had 8-times higher odds for dislocation (OR: 8.20, P = .020). CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest series to date evaluating DA and PL-THA in the hip-spine 2B-group. Our results demonstrate lower dislocation rate than expected with either surgical approach using a high-risk protocol.

BACKGROUND: During robotic and computer-navigated primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the center of the femoral head is utilized as the proximal reference point for femoral component position rather than the intramedullary axis. We sought to analyze the effect on femoral component flexion-extension position between these two reference points. METHODS: We obtained CT 3D-reconstructions of 50 cadaveric intact femurs. We defined the navigation axis as the line from center of the femoral head to center of the knee (lowest point of the trochlear groove) and the intramedullary axis as the line from center of the knee to center of the canal at the isthmus. Differences between these axes in the sagittal plane were measured. Degree of femoral bow and femoral neck anteversion were correlated with the differences between the two femoral axes. RESULTS: On average, the navigated axis was 1.4° (range, -1.4° to 4.1°) posterior to the intramedullary axis. As such, the femoral component would have on average 1.4° less flexion compared with techniques referencing the intramedullary canal. A more anterior intramedullary compared with navigated axis (i.e., less femoral flexion) was associated with more femoral bow (R2 = 0.7, P < 0.001) and less femoral neck anteversion (R2 = 0.5, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Computer-navigated or robotic TKA in which the center of the femoral head is utilized as a reference point, results in 1.4° less femoral component flexion than would be achieved by referencing the intramedullary canal. Surgeons should be aware of these differences as they may ultimately influence knee kinematics.

BACKGROUND: As the demand for total hip arthroplasty (THA) rises, a predictive model for THA risk may aid patients and clinicians in augmenting shared decision-making. We aimed to develop and validate a model predicting THA within 10 years in patients using demographic, clinical, and deep learning (DL)-automated radiographic measurements. METHODS: Patients enrolled in the osteoarthritis initiative were included. DL algorithms measuring osteoarthritis- and dysplasia-relevant parameters on baseline pelvis radiographs were developed. Demographic, clinical, and radiographic measurement variables were then used to train generalized additive models to predict THA within 10 years from baseline. A total of 4,796 patients were included [9,592 hips; 58% female; 230 THAs (2.4%)]. Model performance using 1) baseline demographic and clinical variables 2) radiographic variables, and 3) all variables was compared. RESULTS: Using 110 demographic and clinical variables, the model had a baseline area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) of 0.68 and area under the precision recall curve (AUPRC) of 0.08. Using 26 DL-automated hip measurements, the AUROC was 0.77 and AUPRC was 0.22. Combining all variables, the model improved to an AUROC of 0.81 and AUPRC of 0.28. Three of the top five predictive features in the combined model were radiographic variables, including minimum joint space, along with hip pain and analgesic use. Partial dependency plots revealed predictive discontinuities for radiographic measurements consistent with literature thresholds of osteoarthritis progression and hip dysplasia. CONCLUSION: A machine learning model predicting 10-year THA performed more accurately with DL radiographic measurements. The model weighted predictive variables in concordance with clinical THA pathology assessments.

BACKGROUND: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a safe and effective procedure; however, complications such as dislocation, fracture, and infection still occur. It is still unclear whether the dislocation rate via the posterior approach (PA) is better, equal, or worse than the direct anterior approach. Our aim was to report the primary THA dislocation rate via the PA using enabling technology in a large consecutive series of patients. METHODS: A retrospective cohort of 2,888 primary THAs were reviewed at a single, high-volume, academic institution from January 2018 to September 2021. All patients underwent a THA by 4 fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons through the PA with enabling technology. Overall dislocation and readmission rates within 90 days and up to 3 years were analyzed. RESULTS: Of the 2,888 procedures, a total of 39 patients had complications related to the surgery during the 3-year follow-up period. There were 10 patients (0.35%) who experienced a dislocation, with half undergoing surgical revision. Of the 39 patients who experienced complications, 37 (1.3%) were readmitted and 2 underwent revision during their hospital stay. Postoperative periprosthetic fractures were the most common cause for readmission and reoperation at a rate of 0.52% and 0.52%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The dislocation rate of 0.35% is one of the lowest reported rates via the PA at a mean follow up of 2.1 years and is comparable to previously published rates using alternate approaches. Using contemporary THA with enabling technology, the PA is a reliable approach with respect to dislocation and complication rates after primary THA.

BACKGROUND: Excessive standing posterior pelvic tilt (PT), lumbar spine stiffness, low pelvic incidence (PI), and severe sagittal spinal deformity (SSD) have been linked to increased dislocation rates. We aimed to determine the prevalence of these 4 parameters in a cohort of unstable total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients and compare these to a large representative control population of primary THA patients. METHODS: Forty-eight patients with instability following primary THA were compared to a control cohort of 9414 THA patients. Lateral X-rays in standing and flexed-seated positions were used to assess PT and lumbar lordosis (LL). Computed tomography scans were used to measure PI and acetabular cup orientation. Thresholds for "at risk" spinopelvic parameters were standing posterior PT ≤ -15°, lumbar flexion (LLstand-LLseated) ≤ 20°, PI ≤ 41°, PI ≥ 70°, and SSD (PI-LLstand mismatch ≥ 20°). RESULTS: There were significant differences in mean spinopelvic parameters between the dislocating and control cohorts (P < .001). There were no differences in mean PI (58° versus 56°, respectively, P = .29) or prevalence of high and low PI between groups. 67% of the dislocating patients had one or more significant risk factors, compared to only 11% of the control. A total of 71% of the dislocating patients had cup orientations within the traditional safe zone. CONCLUSION: Excessive standing posterior PT, low lumbar flexion, and a severe SSD are more prevalent in unstable THAs. Pre-op screening for these parameters combined with appropriate planning and implant selection may help identify at risk patients and reduce the prevalence of dislocation.

PURPOSE: To (1) develop a deep-learning (DL) algorithm capable of producing limb-length and knee-alignment measurements, and (2) determine the association between limb-length discrepancy (LLD), coronal-plane alignment, osteoarthritis (OA) severity, and patient-reported knee pain. METHODS: A multicenter, prospective patient cohort from the Osteoarthritis Initiative between 2004 and 2015 with full-limb standing radiographs at 12 month follow-up was included. A convolutional neural network was developed to automate measurements of the hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle, femur, and tibia lengths, and LLD. At 12 month follow-up, patients reported their frequency of knee pain since enrollment and current level of knee pain. RESULTS: A total of 1011 patients (2022 knees, 52.3% female) with an average age of 61.2 ± 9.0 years were included. The algorithm performed 12,312 measurements in 5.4 h. ICC values of HKA and LLD ranged between 0.87 and 1.00 when compared against trained radiologist measurements. Knees producing pain most days of the month were significantly more varus (mean HKA:- 3.9° ± 2.8°) or valgus (mean HKA:2.8° ± 2.3°) compared to knees that did not produce any pain (p < 0.05). In varus knees, those producing pain on most days were part of the shorter limb compared to nonpainful knees (p < 0.05). Baseline Kellgren-Lawrence grade was significantly associated with HKA magnitude, LLD, and pain frequency at 12 month follow-up (p < 0.05 all). CONCLUSION: A higher frequency of knee pain was associated with more severe coronal plane deformity, with valgus deviation being one degree less than varus on average, suggesting that the knee tolerates less valgus deformation before symptoms become more consistent. Knee pain frequency was also associated with greater LLD and baseline KL grade, suggesting an association between radiographically apparent joint degeneration and pain frequency. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV case series.

AIMS: Although CT is considered the benchmark to measure femoral version, 3D biplanar radiography (hipEOS) has recently emerged as a possible alternative with reduced exposure to ionizing radiation and shorter examination time. The aim of our study was to evaluate femoral stem version in postoperative total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients and compare the accuracy of hipEOS to CT. We hypothesize that there will be no significant difference in calculated femoral stem version measurements between the two imaging methods. METHODS: In this study, 45 patients who underwent THA between February 2016 and February 2020 and had both a postoperative CT and EOS scan were included for evaluation. A fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologist and radiological technician measured femoral version for CT and 3D EOS, respectively. Comparison of values for each imaging modality were assessed for statistical significance. RESULTS: Comparison of the mean postoperative femoral stem version measurements between CT and 3D hipEOS showed no significant difference (p = 0.862). In addition, the two version measurements were strongly correlated (r = 0.95; p < 0.001), and the mean paired difference in postoperative femoral version for CT scan and 3D biplanar radiography was -0.09° (95% confidence interval -1.09 to 0.91). Only three stem measurements (6.7%) were considered outliers with a > 5° difference. CONCLUSION: Our study supports the use of low-dose biplanar radiography for the postoperative assessment of femoral stem version after THA, demonstrating high correlation with CT. We found no significant difference for postoperative femoral version when comparing CT to 3D EOS. We believe 3D EOS is a reliable option to measure postoperative femoral version given its advantages of lower radiation dosage and shorter examination time.Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2022;104-B(11):1196-1201.

BACKGROUND: Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) has been used as a treatment modality for development dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Many patients will progress to total hip arthroplasty (THA) following PAO. There is a discrepancy in the literature regarding outcomes of THA after PAO. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed. Ten pa- tients (12 hips) with prior PAO who progressed to THA with at least 1-year follow-up after THA were identified. A control group of patients matched for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) who underwent primary THA with minimum of 1-year follow-up were included. Demographic and radiographic parameters as well as clinical outcomes using the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) were collected. RESULTS: The mean age at the time of THA was 36.2 ± 9.7 years for the PAO and 37.8 ± 9.1 years for the control cohorts. There was no difference in the demographics be- tween the groups. At mean follow-up time of 22.8 ± 10.7 months for the PAO group and 25 ± 13.8 months for the control group, there was no significant difference in mHHS following THA. There was significant improvement in mHHS from preoperative to postoperative levels (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Total hip arthroplasty is an effective means to restore quality of life and function in patients who develop osteoarthritis following PAO, with equivalent outcomes to those undergoing primary THA.

Background: Spinopelvic hypermobility may be secondary to a stiff osteoarthritic hip with a compliant spine. Purpose: We sought to determine if spinopelvic hypermobility resolves after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and when it resolves in patients with bilateral hip osteoarthritis (OA) undergoing staged bilateral THA. We also sought to analyze the change in spinopelvic parameters before and after the second THA. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 2047 THAs that were performed by 2 fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeons from 2014 to 2018. Patients with preoperative spinopelvic hypermobility undergoing staged bilateral THA were identified. Radiographic spinopelvic parameters, including sacral slope (SS), pelvic incidence (PI), lumbar lordosis (LL), PI-LL mismatch, anterior pelvic plane tilt (APPt), and spinopelvic tilt (SPT), were measured on preoperative, 6-week postoperative, and 1-year postoperative lateral standing and sitting radiographs. Bilateral hip OA was graded using Kellgren-Lawrence criteria. Results: We identified 42 patients with preoperative spinopelvic hypermobility who underwent staged bilateral THA. Mean time (standard deviation) between surgeries was 9.4 months (±10.0). After the first THA, spinopelvic hypermobility resolved in 29% of the patients. After the second THA, it resolved in 67% at 6 weeks, increasing to 98% at 1 year postoperatively. Conclusion: Spinopelvic hypermobility resolves after staged bilateral THA in 98% of the patients, occurring most often only after the second THA. Less than one-third of the patients had resolution after the first THA, suggesting that contralateral hip OA continues to drive hip-driven spinopelvic motion. Acetabular component position targets based on functional pelvic position should incorporate these changes in spinopelvic motion with the understanding that resolution of hypermobility usually occurs after the second THA.
RESUMO
AIMS: Navigation devices are designed to improve a surgeon's accuracy in positioning the acetabular and femoral components in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to both evaluate the accuracy of an optical computer-assisted surgery (CAS) navigation system and determine whether preoperative spinopelvic mobility (categorized as hypermobile, normal, or stiff) increased the risk of acetabular component placement error. METHODS: A total of 356 patients undergoing primary THA were prospectively enrolled from November 2016 to March 2018. Clinically relevant error using the CAS system was defined as a difference of > 5° between CAS and 3D radiological reconstruction measurements for acetabular component inclination and anteversion. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine whether hypermobile ([Formula: see text]sacral slope(SS)stand-sit > 30°), or stiff ([Formula: see text]SSstand-sit < 10°) spinopelvic mobility contributed to increased error rates. RESULTS: The paired absolute difference between CAS and postoperative imaging measurements was 2.3° (standard deviation (SD) 2.6°) for inclination and 3.1° (SD 4.2°) for anteversion. Using a target zone of 40° (± 10°) (inclination) and 20° (± 10°) (anteversion), postoperative standing radiographs measured 96% of acetabular components within the target zone for both inclination and anteversion. Multiple logistic regression analysis controlling for BMI and sex revealed that hypermobile spinopelvic mobility significantly increased error rates for anteversion (odds ratio (OR) 2.48, p = 0.009) and inclination (OR 2.44, p = 0.016), whereas stiff spinopelvic mobility increased error rates for anteversion (OR 1.97, p = 0.028). There were no dislocations at a minimum three-year follow-up. CONCLUSION: Despite high reliability in acetabular positioning for inclination in a large patient cohort using an optical CAS system, hypermobile and stiff spinopelvic mobility significantly increased the risk of clinically relevant errors. In patients with abnormal spinopelvic mobility, CAS systems should be adjusted for use to avoid acetabular component misalignment and subsequent risk for long-term dislocation.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Targets of acetabular inclination and anteversion have been suggested based on a patient's spinopelvic mobility. Current methods in total hip arthroplasty (THA) include manual instrumentation, computer-assisted navigation, and robotic-assisted surgery. This study aims to compare the accuracy of these 3 methods in targeting the functional safe zone. METHODS: This is a prospective multicenter study including a series of 251 consecutive primary posterior THA patients from April 2019 to January 2021. Preoperative lateral standing and sitting spinopelvic radiographs were obtained. Each patient was classified using the Hip-Spine Classification. A functional safe zone plan was determined. Surgeons used their preferred method (manual instrumentation, computer-assisted, or robotic-assisted). Postoperative anteversion and inclination was measured and compared to the preoperative plan. Mean differences between preoperative and postoperative values were calculated. Welch's t-test was used to assess significant between-group differences with P < .05 considered significant. RESULTS: Of the 249 patients, there were 63 manual instrumentation, 68 computer-assisted navigation, and 118 robotic-assisted surgery. Robotic-assisted surgery (rTHA) was significantly more accurate in targeting anteversion (1 ± 2) compared to manual instrumentation (mTHA; 7 ± 6, P < .001) and computer-assisted navigation (cTHA; 6 ± 6, P < .001). rTHA was also significantly more accurate in targeting inclination (1 ± 1) compared to mTHA (8 ± 7, P < .001) and cTHA (6 ± 7, P < .001). Although cTHA had greater accuracy in targeting both inclination and anteversion compared to mTHA, these differences were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Robotic-assisted surgery was more accurate than both computer-assisted navigation and manual instrumentation in targeting the functional safe zone in primary THA. Further research is needed to evaluate the effect of improved accuracy on dislocation rates.

BACKGROUND: Frequently, patients indicated for total hip arthroplasty (THA) present with low back pain (LBP) and hip pain. The purpose of this study was to compare patients whose back pain resolved after THA with those where back pain did not resolve and identify how to predict this using spinopelvic parameters. METHODS: We reviewed a series of 500 patients who underwent THA for unilateral hip osteoarthritis by 2 surgeons. Patients underwent biplanar standing and sitting EOS radiographs pre-operatively. Patients with previous spine surgery or femoral neck fracture were excluded. Demographic data was analyzed at baseline. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores were calculated pre-operatively and at 1 year postoperatively. Spinopelvic parameters included, pelvic incidence and sacral slope (SS) change from standing to sitting. RESULTS: Two hundred and four patients (41%) had documented LBP before THA. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for patients improved from 38.9 ± 17.8 pre-operatively to 17.0 ± 10.6 at 1 year post-operatively (P < .001). At 1- and 2-year follow-up, resolution of back pain occurred in 168 (82.4%) and 187 (91.2%) patients, respectively. Pelvic incidence was not predictive of back pain resolution. All patients whose back pain resolved had a sacral slope change from standing to sitting of >10°, while those patients whose back pain did not resolve had a change of <10°. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that symptomatic low back pain (LBP) resolves in 82% of patients after THA. The results of this study may be used to counsel patients on back pain and its resolution following total hip replacement.

BACKGROUND: Robotic-assistance total hip arthroplasty (RA-THA) and computer navigation THA (CN-THA) have been shown to improve accuracy of component positioning compared to manual techniques; however, controversy exists regarding clinical benefit. Moreover, these technologies may expose patients to risks. The purpose of this study is to compare rates of intraoperative fracture and complications requiring reoperation within 1 year for posterior approach RA-THA, CN-THA, and THA with no technology (Manual-THA). METHODS: In total, 13,802 primary, unilateral, elective, posterior approach THAs (1770 RA-THAs, 3155 CN-THAs, and 8877 Manual-THAs) were performed at a single institution between 2016 and 2020. Intraoperative fractures and reoperations within 1 year of the index procedure were identified. Cohorts were balanced using inverse probability of treatment weight based on age, gender, body mass index, femoral cementation, history of spine fusion, and Charlson Comorbidity Index. Logistic regression was performed to create odds ratios for complications. Additional regression analysis for dislocation was performed, adjusting for dual mobility and femoral head size. RESULTS: There were no differences in intraoperative fracture and postoperative complication rates between the groups (P = .521). RA-THA had a 0.3 odds ratio (95% confidence interval 0.1-0.9, P = .046) compared to Manual-THA for reoperation due to dislocation. CN-THA had an odds ratio of 3.0 for reoperation due to dislocation (95% confidence interval 0.8-11.3, P = .114) compared to RA-THA. The remaining complication odds ratios, including those for infection, loosening, dehiscence, and "other" were similar between the groups. CONCLUSION: RA-THA is associated with lower risk of revision for dislocation within 1 year of index surgery, when compared to Manual-THA performed through the posterior approach.
