Purpose:
ADAPT is a fluoroscopic computer-assisted surgery system which intraoperatively shows the distance from the tip of the screw to the surface of the femoral head, tip-to-head-surface distance (TSD), and the tip-apex distance (TAD) advocated by Baumgaertner et al. The study evaluated the accuracy of ADAPT.
Patients And Methods:
A total of 55 patients operated with ADAPT between August 2016 and March 2017 were included as subjects. TSD and TAD were measured postoperatively using computed tomography (CT) and X-rays. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was checked in advance. The error was defined as the difference between postoperative and intraoperative measurement values of ADAPT. Summary statistics, root mean square errors (RMSEs), and correlations were evaluated.
Results:
ICC was 0.94 [95% CI: 0.90-0.96] in TSD and 0.99 [95% CI: 0.98-0.99] in TAD. The error was -0.35 mm (-1.83 mm to 1.12 mm) in TSD and +0.63 mm (-5.65 mm to 4.59 mm) in TAD. RMSE was 0.63 mm in TSD and 1.53 mm in TAD. Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.79 [95% CI: 0.66-0.87] in TSD and 0.83 [95% CI: 0.72-0.89] in TAD. There were no adverse events with ADAPT use.
Conclusion:
ADAPT is highly accurate and useful in guiding surgeons in properly positioning the screws.

Accuracy is defined as the closeness of the measured value to the true or actual value. In engineering mechanics, repeated measurements are taken during theoretical or experimental analyses to ensure that the result is precise and accurate.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
