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 intraoperative fluoroscopy or postoperative CT scans.
  • Image-guided navigation systems aim to improve accuracy and reproducibility.

Purpose of the Study:

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

Main Methods:

  • A hybrid strategy combining percutaneous digitization and noninvasive biplanar reconstruction from fluoroscopy images was used for landmark acquisition.
  • 256 consecutive patients with primary osteoarthrosis underwent surgery using the CT-free navigation system.

  • Postoperative CT scans of 50 patients were analyzed to determine cup placement accuracy.

    • Main Results:

    • The system demonstrated no significant learning curve.
    • Mean postoperative inclination was 43° (SD 3.0°) and anteversion was 19° (SD 3.9°).
    • Mean placement error was 1.5° for inclination and 2.4° for anteversion, achieving accuracy within 5° inclination and 6° anteversion.

    Conclusions:

    • CT-free image-guided navigation is a reliable solution for acetabular cup placement in THA.
    • The system's accuracy is comparable to CT-based navigation methods.
    • This technology offers a promising alternative for improving surgical outcomes in THA.
