Introduction

Total hip replacement (THR) is one of the most widely used and most successful orthopedic procedures performed in developed countries. The burden of revision surgery, however, has become a major issue in terms of both volume and cost. Technical errors at the time of the index operation are known to be associated with an increased rate of revision.

Statistical methods, such as the CUSUM test, which have been developed for the manufacturing industry to monitor the quality of products, have come to the attention of health-care workers as a result of centers with protracted periods of inadequate performance. In orthopedics, these methods have been used to monitor the quality of total hip replacement in a tertiary care department using conventional imaging techniques.

Biplane low-dose X-ray imaging (EOS) may allow an easy, patient-friendly, way to retrieve data on the position of implants immediately postoperatively. Therefore real-time feedback is provided to surgeons and performance adjusted accordingly

Objectives

To assess the usefullness of EOS imaging in providing the position of implants immediately postoperatively
