Summary

Sound changes during total hip arthroplasty (THA) are detectable and reproducible. Surgeons can use this audio feedback to improve surgical performance and guide optimal outcomes in the operating room (OR).

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Bioacoustics
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Orthopaedic surgeons primarily rely on visual and tactile feedback in the operating room (OR).
  • Limited data exists on how sound changes during orthopaedic procedures and its use as auditory feedback.
  • This study investigates meaningful sound alterations during critical stages of total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define and analyze significant sound changes during key steps of total hip arthroplasty (THA).
  • To assess the detectability of these sound changes by the human ear.
  • To explore the potential of audio feedback in enhancing surgical performance during THA.

Main Methods:

  • Acquired 84 audio recordings during primary elective THA procedures.
  • Focused on critical tasks: femoral neck sawing, acetabular reaming, cup impaction, liner impaction, femoral broaching, calcar planing, and stem insertion.
  • Analyzed frequency intensity changes across the human hearing spectrum and identified statistically significant temporal variations.

Main Results:

  • Significant increases in sound intensity were observed during femoral neck sawing, polyethylene liner impaction, and stem insertion.
  • A significant decrease in sound intensity was noted during calcar planing.
  • Characteristic frequencies with maximal loudness changes, detectable by the human ear, were identified for critical THA tasks.

Conclusions:

  • Reproducible and detectable sound changes occur during total hip arthroplasty (THA).
  • Auditory feedback can be integrated by surgeons to guide performance and optimize outcomes in the OR.
  • Findings suggest broader applicability to other orthopaedic procedures and highlight the need to minimize ambient OR noise.
