Background: Incorrect cup positioning in primary total hip arthroplasty is known as a risk factor for early implant failure. The use of navigation systems leads to more accurate cup positioning.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the registration accuracy of the anterior pelvic plane and the measurement accuracy of the definite cup position for a pointer computer-assisted orthopaedic navigation system (P-CAOS) and an ultrasound-based navigation tool (US-CAOS) in an intra-individual study design.
Methods: Anterior pelvic plane registration was performed in 44 patients receiving a primary total hip arthroplasty with P-CAOS and US-CAOS. The cup implantation was performed using US-CAOS. Intraoperatively, the cup position was assessed using P-CAOS and US-CAOS. The postoperative cup position was determined via CT scan. Inclination and anteversion errors were calculated using intraoperative values and CT data. All operations were performed by a single, high-volume surgeon using a minimally invasive anterolateral approach.
Results: The mean inclination error was 0.9∘ in the US-CAOS group and -1.1∘ in the P-CAOS group. This was not statistically significant. The mean anteversion error was significantly reduced (p< 0.001) in the US-CAOS group (1.4∘) compared to the P-CAOS group (-8.0∘). Significantly more cups (23 of 44; 52%) in the P-CAOS group were outliers regarding to the defined anteversion error range of 15∘± 10∘. Outliers in the US-CAOS group amounted to two (of 44; 5%) (p< 0.001). The number of outliers regarding the inclination error range of 40∘± 10∘, did not differ significantly between the P-CAOS (2; 5%) and US-CAOS (1; 2%) group.
Conclusion: We were able to show a systematic anterior pelvic plane registration error in this intraindividual study design. US-CAOS based APP landmark registration showed to be significantly more precise compared to P-CAOS registration. The anteversion error of the cup using US-CAOS showed to be significantly reduced compared to the P-CAOS method.

Mediastinal lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors arising from lymphatic system malformations, most commonly seen in pediatric populations. In adults, they are exceedingly rare and present diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and imaging overlap with other mediastinal masses. Diagnosis is typically based on imaging, including CT and MRI, with histopathology confirming the diagnosis.

Purpose: The dynamic alignment of the lumbar spine, pelvis and femur is increasingly studied in hip preservation surgery. However, the interaction between lumbopelvic alignment, acetabular and femoral morphology and its influence on patients' preoperative symptom burden remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether lumbopelvic malalignment affects osseous hip morphology and exacerbates preoperative patient-reported joint functionality in patients undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO).

Advancements in cancer care have significantly extended the life expectancy of rectal cancer patients and the impact of treatment-related toxicity on long-term quality of life has become a crucial factor in determining the most suitable type of neoadjuvant therapy, particularly for patients who are likely to undergo surgery. While radiotherapy has traditionally been regarded as the cornerstone for achieving improved local control in rectal cancer, it is accompanied by a range of associated complications, including bowel and bladder dysfunction, gonadal ablation, and Low Anterior Resection Syndrome. De-escalation of treatment is undoubtedly beneficial for many patients, and this approach should be tailored to consider their expectations while prioritizing patient care in decision-making.

Before patients begin out-of-bed exercises following internal fixation surgery for acetabular fractures, turning over in bed serves as a crucial intervention to mitigate complications associated with prolonged bed rest. However, data on the safety of this maneuver post-surgery are limited, and the biomechanical evidence remains unclear. This study aims to introduce a novel loading protocol designed to preliminarily simulate the action of turning over in bed and to compare the biomechanical properties of two fixation methods for acetabular fractures under this new protocol.
