The anteversion angle of the cup is important for achieving the stability and avoiding the dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We place the component considering with the change of inclination of pelvis with its posture change. We analyzed the perioperative pelvic inclination angles with posture change and the time course. We treated 40 hips in 40 patients (9 males and 31 females) with cementless THA that were performed from January 2007 to December 2008 in our hospital. 30 osteoarthritis hips, 3 rheumatoid arthritis hips and 7 idiopathic osteonecrosis hips were included. All patients were performed THA with VectorVision Hip 2.5.1 navigation system (BrainLAB, Feldkirchen, Germany). We used AMS HA cups and PerFix stems (KYOCERA Medical co., Osaka, Japan). The mean age of surgery was 59 years old (35–79 years old). The pelvic inclination angles (PIA) were measured with anteroposterior radiographic image in accordance with the Doiguchi's method.Objectives
Materials and Methods
CentPillar GB HA stem (stryker®) is developed as the stem fitting the Japanese femur, and now there is CentPillar TMZF HA stem (stryker®) as the improvement type of the stem by coating the PureFix HA with plasma spray. We observed the factors which influenced on the stem subsidence between the two-type stems. We intended for 26 hips 23 patients that we performed total hip arthroplasty (THA) during the period between January 2005 and June 2009 and were able to follow up more than three years. 10 males 11 hips and 13 females 15 hips, the mean age at the time of surgery was 56.5 (range, 29–74) years old, and primary diseases were osteoarthritis (OA) in 17 hips, Idiopathic Osteonecrosis of Femoral Head (ION) in six hips, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in three hips. 16 hips were treated with the CentPillar GB HA stem (G group), and 10 hips were performed with the CentPillar TMZF HA stem (T group). The examination items are the stem size, the canal fill ratio of the stem (the top of lesser trochanter, the bottom of lesser trochanter, the distal portion of the stem) and the stem alignment (on anteroposterior radiograph and Lauenstein view).Purpose
Materials and Methods
Few reports were shown about the position of the cup in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with CT-based navigation system. We use minimally invasive surgery (MIS) technique when we perform cementless THA and the correct settings of cups are sometimes difficult in MIS. So we use CT-based navigation system for put implants with correct angles and positions. We evaluated the depth of cup which was shown on intra-operative navigation system. We treated 30 hips in 29 patients (1 male and 28 females) by navigated THA. 21 osteoarthritis hips, 6 rheumatoid arthritis hips and 3 idiopathic osteonecrosis hips were performed THA with VectorVision Hip 2.5.1 navigation system (BrainLAB). Implants were AMS HA cups and PerFix stems (Japan Medical Materials, Osaka). Appropriate angles and positions of cups were decided on the 3D model of pelvis before operation. According to the preoperative planning, we put the implants with navigation system. We correct the pelvic inclination angle and measured the depth of cups with 3D template software.Objectives
Materials and Methods
Many reports were shown about the angle of the cup in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with CT-based navigation system. However, there are few reports about the position of the stem. We investigated the position of the stem in navigated THA. We evaluated the position and alignment of stem which were shown on intra-operative navigation system. We treated 10 hips in 10 patients (1 male and 9 females) by navigated THA. 7 osteoarthritis hips and 3 idiopathic osteonecrosis hips were performed THA with VectorVision Hip 2.5.1 navigation system (BrainLAB). Implants were AMS HA cups and PerFix stems (Japan Medical Materials, Osaka). The positions of stem were decided on the 3D model of femur before operation. According to the preoperative planning, we put the implants with navigation system and recorded the position. We measured the position and alignment of stem with 3D template software after operation. We checked for complications.Objectives
