Aims

Cross-table lateral (CTL) radiographs are commonly used to measure acetabular component anteversion after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The CTL measurements may differ by > 10° from CT scan measurements but the reasons for this discrepancy are poorly understood. Anteversion measurements from CTL radiographs and CT scans are compared to identify spinopelvic parameters predictive of inaccuracy.

Methods

THA patients (n = 47; 27 males, 20 females; mean age 62.9 years (SD 6.95)) with preoperative spinopelvic mobility, radiological analysis, and postoperative CT scans were retrospectively reviewed. Acetabular component anteversion was measured on postoperative CTL radiographs and CT scans using 3D reconstructions of the pelvis. Two cohorts were identified based on a CTL-CT error of ≥ 10° (n = 11) or < 10° (n = 36). Spinopelvic mobility parameters were compared using independent-samples t-tests. Correlation between error and mobility parameters were assessed with Pearson’s coefficient.

Introduction

Cross table lateral (CTL) radiographs are commonly used to measure acetabular component anteversion after total hip arthroplasty (THA). CTL measurements may differ by >10 degrees from CT scan measurements, but the reasons for this discrepancy are poorly understood. We compare anteversion measurements made on CTL radiographs and CT scans to identify spinopelvic parameters predictive of inaccuracy.

Methods

THA patients (n=47) with preoperative spinopelvic radiographic analysis and postoperative CT scans were retrospectively reviewed. Acetabular component anteversion was measured on post-operative CTL radiographs, and CT scans using 3D reconstructions of the pelvis. Patients were grouped by error (CTL-CT)>10° (n=11) or <10° (n=36), and spinopelvic mobility parameters were compared using t-tests. Correlation between error and mobility parameters was assessed with Pearson coefficient.
