Background: Postoperative assessment following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) typically involves plain radiographs to evaluate implant positioning parameters, such as humeral distalization and lateralization along with medialization and distalization of the center of rotation (COR). However, the precision of these radiographic measurements remains unclear. This study aimed to validate the accuracy of radiographic two-dimensional (2D) measurements compared to three-dimensional (3D) surface model-based measurements derived from CT data for evaluating postoperative parameters in rTSA.

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of differences in the distance between the glenosphere center and the greater tuberosity (DGT) and the distance between the glenosphere center and the acromion (DA) on the closest distance between the greater tuberosity and the acromion during active abduction in shoulders with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
Methods: Eleven shoulders with semiinlay RSA were analyzed.
Background: Accurate cup placement is essential for obtaining excellent outcomes in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We evaluated the pelvic lateral tilt of the patient (which affects the incline of the acetabular cup in THA) and investigated the factors affecting it.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of THA procedures performed at our hospital between October 2015 and January 2021 for which an anteroposterior pelvic radiograph was always taken preoperatively once the patient was placed in the lateral decubitus position.
