چکیده

We have developed a novel, computer-assisted operation method for minimal-invasive total hip replacement (THR) following the concept of "femur first/combined anteversion," which incorporates various aspects of performing a functional optimization of the prosthetic stem and cup position (CAS FF). The purpose of this study is to assess whether the hip joint reaction forces and patient's gait parameters are being improved by CAS FF in relation to conventional THR (CON). We enrolled 60 patients (28 CAS FF/32 CON) and invited them for gait analysis at three time points (preoperatively, postop six months, and postop 12 months). Data retrieved from gait analysis was processed using patient-specific musculoskeletal models. The target parameters were hip reaction force magnitude (hrf), symmetries, and orientation with respect to the cup. Hrf in the CAS FF group were closer to a young healthy normal. Phase-shift symmetry showed an increase in the CAS FF group. Hrf orientation in the CAS FF group was closer to optimum, though no edge or rim-loading occurred in the CON group as well. The CAS FF group showed an improved hrf orientation in an early stage and a trend to an improved long-term outcome.

Problems, Obstacles and Complications in a Consecutive Series of More than 400 Navigated Modular Short Stems in Hip Arthroplasty

Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has been introduced in hip replacement to improve the precision of the acetabular and femoral components and hopefully to improve prosthesis longevity and biomechanics. Likewise the concept of shorter “neck-sparing” femoral stems has been gaining in popularity. These new designs preserve more native bone in the femoral neck of the patient during femoral preparati...

Complications of fixed infrared emitters in computer-assisted total knee arthroplasties

BACKGROUND The first stage in the implant of a total knee arthroplasty with computer-assisted surgery is to fasten the emitters to the femur and the tibia. These trackers must be hard-fixed to the bone. The objectives of our study are to evaluate the technical problems and complications of these tracker-pins, the necessary time to fix them to the bone and the possible advantages of a new femora...

Functional Imaging of Proximal Femur by Combining Dual Energy X-ray Imaging and Finite Element Simulations

It is estimated that over 200 million people worldwide have osteoporosis. At present, osteoporosis is diagnosed by measuring bone mineral density (BMD) from the femoral neck or the lumbar spine with Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA). However, BMD measured with DXA is only a moderate predictor of fracture risk. It does not take into account any other factors than BMD which could affect the ...

Activity intensity, assistive devices and joint replacement influence predicted remodelling in the proximal femur.

Bone morphology and density changes are commonly observed following joint replacement, may contribute to the risks of implant loosening and periprosthetic fracture and reduce the available bone stock for revision surgery. This study was presented in the 'Bone and Cartilage Mechanobiology across the scales' WCCM symposium to review the development of remodelling prediction methods and to demonst...
