Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomedical engineering

Context:

  • Hip resurfacing arthroplasty offers an alternative to total hip replacement.
  • The Birmingham hip resurfacing (BHR) system introduced metal-on-metal bearings and improved component positioning.
  • Challenges remain in achieving precise femoral component placement, risking complications like femoral notching.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a fluoroscopic navigation system in enhancing the precision of femoral component preparation and positioning during hip resurfacing.
  • To determine if navigated techniques simplify and improve the accuracy of implant placement compared to conventional methods.

Summary:

  • A standardized procedure using a fluoroscopic navigation system was developed for hip resurfacing.
  • The system facilitated accurate preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance for drilling and reaming.

  • In 31 cases, the navigated procedure demonstrated excellent reliability, achieving precise, steep (valgus) implantation without femoral notching.

    • Impact:

    • The navigated approach achieved high accuracy, with a mean angular deviation of 2.6 degrees between intraoperative and postoperative measurements.
    • This method utilizes standard hardware and software, offering a practical improvement for surgeons.
    • The virtual implant positioning provided significant comfort and precision, with only a minor increase in operative time (10-15 minutes).
