Summary
Preoperative digital templating accurately predicted Mayo femoral stem size in hip arthroplasty. However, achieving ideal offset and leg length required further consideration of osteotomy and stem positioning.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
- Surgical Planning
Background:
- Total hip arthroplasty (THA) aims to restore joint function and anatomy.
- Accurate preoperative planning is crucial for successful THA outcomes.
- Digital templating offers a method for planning implant selection and positioning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the accuracy of preoperative digital templating for the Mayo femoral stem in THA.
- To assess the correlation between planned and intraoperatively used implant size, position, offset, and leg length restoration.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 40 patients undergoing THA with the Mayo femoral stem.
- Comparison of preoperative digital templating predictions with intraoperative findings.
- Statistical analysis using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) to assess agreement.
Main Results:
- High agreement was observed between planned and actual implant sizes (ICC 0.661-0.810).
- Poor agreement was found for offset and CCD correction (ICC 0.476, 0.253).
- Moderate agreement was noted for leg length correction (ICC 0.583).
Conclusions:
- Preoperative planning aids in accurate Mayo prosthesis size selection.
- Osteotomy height and stem-femur proximity influence offset and leg length restoration.
- Refined planning strategies are needed to optimize offset and leg length in THA.
