This study shows a CT-free surgical navigation system accurately places acetabular cups in total hip arthroplasty. The system achieved accuracy comparable to CT-based methods, offering a reliable alternative for hip surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • Acetabular cup placement is critical for total hip arthroplasty (THA) success.
  • Traditional methods often rely on computed tomography (CT) for pre-operative planning and intra-operative guidance.
  • Developing CT-free navigation systems can reduce radiation exposure and improve efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical performance and accuracy of a novel CT-free image-guided surgical navigation system for acetabular cup placement.
  • To assess the system's reliability and compare its accuracy to established CT-based navigation methods.

Main Methods:

  • A hybrid strategy combining percutaneous digitization and noninvasive biplanar fluoroscopic reconstruction was used for pelvic landmark acquisition.

  • 118 consecutive patients underwent THA using the CT-free navigation system.
  • Postoperative CT scans were performed on 50 patients to verify acetabular cup placement accuracy relative to the anterior pelvic plane (APP).

    • Main Results:

    • The CT-free navigation system demonstrated no significant learning curve.
    • Mean postoperative inclination was 43° (SD 3.0°) and anteversion was 19° (SD 3.9°).
    • System accuracy showed a maximum error of 5° for inclination (mean 1.5°) and 6° for anteversion (mean 2.4°), achieving performance comparable to CT-based methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Image-guided, CT-free navigation is a reliable solution for acetabular cup placement in THA.
    • The system provides accurate implant positioning without the need for preoperative CT scans.
    • This technology offers a viable alternative to CT-based navigation, potentially reducing patient radiation exposure.
