ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The aim of this study was examining the accuracy of accelerometer-based portable navigation systems (HipAlign) when measuring leg length changes using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) methods.METHODS:
Inclusion criteria were patients ≥ 20 years old with symptomatic hip disease who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the supine position using HipAlign between June 2019 and April 2020. The exclusion criteria were patients who underwent THA via a posterior approach. We examined correlations between the leg length change measurement with HipAlign and either 2D or 3D measurement. We performed a multivariate analysis to determine which factors may have influenced the absolute error results.RESULTS:
This study included 34 patients. The absolute error in leg length change between the HipAlign and 3D measurement (4.0 mm) was greater than the HipAlign and 2D measurement (1.7 mm). There were positive correlations between leg length change with HipAlign and 2D and 3D measurements. Male patients had larger errors with 2D measurement. No significant factors were identified for 3D measurement.CONCLUSION:
HipAlign provided acceptable measurement accuracy for leg length changes.Palavras-chave
