Computed tomography-based surgical navigation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) improves component positioning and leg length accuracy. This technology enhances surgical consistency, reducing common technical issues in hip replacement procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Component malpositioning and leg length discrepancy are frequent technical challenges in total hip arthroplasty (THA).
  • Minimizing these issues is crucial for improving patient outcomes and reducing revision rates.
  • Surgical navigation presents a promising technological solution to enhance precision in THA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of computed tomography-based surgical navigation in improving acetabular component positioning during THA.
  • To assess the accuracy of leg length measurement and control facilitated by the navigation system.
  • To determine the impact of navigation-assisted THA on operative parameters such as incision length.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 317 patients (344 hips) undergoing THA with computed tomography-based surgical navigation was conducted.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Acetabular cup placement was guided by the navigation system, targeting specific angles for abduction and anteversion.
  • Leg length was measured intraoperatively using a simplified method in a subset of 112 THAs, with comparisons to radiographic measurements.

    • Main Results:

    • Navigation-guided cup placement achieved 97.1% in the safe zone for abduction and 92.4% for anteversion radiographically.
    • Mean incision length was less than 8 cm for the majority of procedures (327/344 hips).
    • Intraoperative leg length change measurements correlated well with postoperative radiographic findings, demonstrating reliable assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography-based surgical navigation enhances the consistency of acetabular component positioning in total hip arthroplasty.
    • The navigation system provides reliable intraoperative measurement of leg length changes, aiding in discrepancy management.
    • This technology offers a valuable tool for reducing common technical complications in THA, potentially improving surgical outcomes.
