Functional Acetabular Component Positioning During Direct Anterior Approach Hip Arthroplasty Using a Novel Three-Dimensional Virtual Mesh Imaging System with Fluoroscopy.
Journal of Arthroplasty 2024 March 23
INTRODUCTION: Optimal position of total hip arthroplasty (THA) components is critical for joint mechanics and stability. Acetabular component positioning during supine surgery in direct anterior approach (DAA) THA may be different in the standing position postoperatively, which traditional fluoroscopy is unable to predict. A novel three-dimensional (3D) image analysis technology (IAT) that uses artificial intelligence to measure the tilt and rotation of the pelvis has enabled prediction of component positioning from supine to standing. The purpose of this study was to compare intraoperative fluoroscopy, non-3D-IAT, and 3D-IAT with postoperative standing radiographs to assess the accuracy of component positioning.
METHODS: From 2022 to 2023, thirty consecutive patients (86.6% women, mean age 59 (range, 55 to 67)) undergoing primary DAA THA with the use of the 3D-IAT were identified. A separate cohort of 148 patients from 2020 to 2021 (85% women, mean age 65 (range, 55 to 69)) who underwent DAA THA with non-3D-IAT, was used for comparison. Leg length discrepancy (LLD), cup anteversion, and inclination were manually measured on intraoperative fluoroscopic images and digitally measured using IAT. Follow-up evaluation occurred at 1 month with standing pelvis radiographs measured using EBRA-Cup software. Measurements were compared via Wilcoxon signed rank tests where P ≤ 0.05 indicates significantly different measurements.
RESULTS: Median LLD, inclination, and anteversion measurements via non-3D-IAT and fluoroscopy were significantly different compared to postoperative standing radiographs (P < 0.001). The 3D-IAT more accurately predicted LLD, abduction, and anteversion, with values not significantly different from postoperative standing measurements (P = 0.23, P = 0.93, and P= 0.36, respectively).
CONCLUSION: The use of the 3D-IAT during DAA THA allowed for the more accurate prediction of acetabular component position in the standing position postoperatively.
