CORRELATION BETWEEN CT-BASED INTRA-OPERATIVE NAVIGATION AND POST-OPERATIVE RADIOGRAPHS FOR ROBOTIC-ASSISTED TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY

The International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty (ISTA), 27th Annual Congress. PART 1.



Abstract

Background

Component positioning in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is critical to achieve optimal patient outcomes. Recent literature has shown acetabular component positioning may be inaccurate using traditional techniques. Robotic-assisted THA is a recent platform introduced to decrease the risk of malpositioned components. However, to date, a paucity of data is available comparing the intra-operative component position generated by the navigation system to post-operative radiographs.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to compare the component position measurements of a navigation system, used during robotic-assisted THA, to component position measurements obtained on post-operative radiographs.

Methods

Intra-operative component position measurements for acetabular inclination, acetabular anteversion, leg length change, and offset change for 145 patients were recorded. Pre-operative and post-operative radiographs of the same 145 patients were then measured for the same parameters. A comparison of component position provided by the navigation system and radiographic data was then performed. Sub-group analyses of posterior and direct anterior measurements were performed.

Results

Correlation between the navigation system and post operative radiographs was within 10° for 95.9% of cases for inclination and 96.6% for anteversion. Correlation within 10 mm of radiographic-measured values occurred in 97.7% of cases for change in leg length and 94.0% for change in global offset. 100% of the cases ended up with radiographic leg length discrepancy of less than 10 mm.

Conclusion

The intra-operative component position data obtained from the navigation system utilized during robotic-assisted THA demonstrated correlated well with component position data obtained from radiographs.
