Background

Recent literature points out the potential interest of standing and sitting X-rays for the evaluation of THA patients. The accuracy of the anterior pelvic plane measures is questionable due to the variations in the quality of lateral standing and sitting X-rays. The EOS® (EOS imaging, Paris, France) is an innovative slot-scanning radiograph system allowing the acquisition of radiograph images while the patient is in weightbearing position with less irradiation than standard imagers. This study reports the “functionnal” positions of a 150 THA cohort, including the lateral orientation of the cups.

Methods

The following parameters were measured: sacral slope (SS), pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI) and anterior pelvic plane (APP) sagittal inclination (ASI), frontal inclination (AFI) and planar anteversion (ANT). Irradiation doses were calculated in standing and sitting acquisitions. Variations of sagittal orientation of the cup were measured on lateral standing and sitting images. Descriptive and multivariate analysis were performed for the different parameters studied.
