AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of a new pelvic fixation device with an added compression pad during total hip arthroplasty in the lateral position.
- The research involved 141 patients, comparing the sagittal tilt of the pelvis using the conventional device against the new device based on the anatomical pelvic plane (APP).
- Results indicated the new device significantly improved pelvic alignment, showing less variance in tilt, which could lead to better surgical outcomes.
Article Abstract
Background: Total hip arthroplasty in the lateral position involves particularly large variance in the sagittal tilt of pelvis fixation, which affects the imprecision of the cup anteversion leading to poor outcomes. We have added an additional compression pad to an existing device, also to be used in the lateral position, but theoretically enabling fixation on the anatomical pelvic plane (APP) serving as the reference plane. The present study aims to evaluate the usefulness of this device in comparison with the conventional device.
Methods: We have studied 141 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty at our hospital. Two frontal plain x-rays of the pelvis were obtained preoperatively for each patient after pelvis fixation; one with the conventional lateral fixation device and the other with an APP lateral fixation device. The sagittal tilt of the pelvis in each position was measured with 3D templating software, and variance in the sagittal tilt was compared between the 2 devices.
Results: The mean bias in sagittal tilt relative to the functional pelvic plane (FPP) in the conventional device was -5.0° ± 4.8° (minus mean backward tilt) and was within 5° relative to the functional pelvic plane in 43%. The mean bias in the sagittal tilt relative to the APP in the APP lateral position device was 1.7° ± 3.1° (forward tilt) and was within 5° relative to the APP in 89%. The APP lateral device significantly reduced the variance in the sagittal tilt.
Conclusion: This device holds promise as a means of reducing the sagittal tilt in a simple, minimally invasive, and highly cost-effective manner.

Purpose: The relationship between sagittal lumbopelvic alignment and the bony pathomorphology of hip dysplasia is currently at the forefront of clinical and scientific interest. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a compensatory lumbopelvic aspect associated with the two major acetabular phenotypes in dysplastic hips.
Methods: From September 2022 to March 2024, a total of 145 patients with symptomatic bilateral hip dysplasia were included in the study.
Effect of Approach Based Lumbar Interbody Fusion on Sagittal Spinopelvic Parameters and Functional Outcomes: Comparison between Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLIF) and Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF).

Purpose: Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) are the most commonly conducted operations for interbody fusions. In addition to fusion, the restoration of proper spinal alignment has become crucial for achieving favorable functional outcomes. There is a lack of agreement on which lumbar interbody fusion technique provides the most effective correction for sagittal spinopelvic parameters (SSPs).

Background/aim: Syndesmophyte formation appears to be site-specific in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and new bone formation seems to occur in regions of microtrauma that are prone to tensile forces. Pelvic and spinal parameters are unique for each individual. Pelvic tilt and sacral slope are important anatomical features that compensate in harmony in keeping the sagittal balance.

Old thoracolumbar fracture with kyphosis (OTLFK) often results in low back pain, with intervertebral disc degeneration being a significant contributor. We hypothesized that patients with OTLFK exhibit distinct patterns of disc degeneration compared to those with chronic low back pain without kyphotic deformity. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of disc degeneration in OTLFK patients and explore its association with sagittal spinal parameters and endplate injury.

The handstand is an exercise performed in many sports, either for its own sake or as part of physical training. Unlike the upright bipedal standing posture, little is known about the sagittal alignment and balance of the spine during a handstand, which may hinder coaching and reduce the benefits of this exercise if not performed correctly. The purpose of this study was to quantify the sagittal alignment and balance of the spine during a handstand using radiographic images to characterize the strategies employed by the spino-pelvic complex during this posture.
