Background: The accuracies of various navigation systems in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been described; however, the accuracy of cup orientation with an accelerometer-based navigation system has not been reported. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracies of computed tomography (CT)- and accelerometer-based navigation systems for cup orientation in THA.
Methods: In this prospective study, 30 patients who underwent cementless THA via anterolateral approach in the lateral decubitus position were analysed. A CT-based navigation system (30 hips) and an accelerometer-based navigation system (30 hips) were used simultaneously. The accuracy of cup orientation (absolute difference between intraoperative vs. postoperative measurements) was compared between the navigation systems using postoperative CT.
Results: The accuracy of cup inclination was 3.2 ± 2.4° in the CT-based navigation group and 4.1 ± 3.7° in the accelerometer-based navigation group ( = 0.3035). The accuracy of cup anteversion was 3.0° ± 2.5° in the CT-based navigation group and 6.8° ± 4.8° in the accelerometer-based navigation group. Cup anteversion was significantly more accurate with the CT-based navigation system than with accelerometer-based navigation ( = 0.0009). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the malposition in cup anteversion was positively correlated with the change in pelvic tilt and loosening of the reference antenna.
Conclusions: Although, these results are only true for this specific accelerometer system, cup positioning was significantly more accurate with the CT-based navigation system than an accelerometer-based navigation in the lateral decubitus position. This is because of considerable discrepancies in the sagittal pelvic tilt, resulting in variability in cup anteversion angle with the use of an accelerometer-based navigation system.

Malalignment and lack of surgeon experience are cited as risk factors for prosthetic failure and the need for subsequent revision surgery in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Various conventional (CON) and computer-assisted surgical (CAS) methods have been developed to try and prevent malalignment and limit outliers. One of these methods is through an accelerometer-based CAS (aCAS), which intraoperatively helps determine the angulation and amount of resection necessary to restore alignment in TKA.

Background: Malpositioning of the acetabular cup during total hip arthroplasty (THA) can lead to complications. Robotic surgery and navigation techniques aim to address this issue, but there is limited evidence regarding which method can achieve better clinical outcomes. Therefore, this network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to compare the efficacy of various navigation methods.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of a pelvic alignment guide (PAG) and a portable navigation system (PNS) for placing acetabular cups in total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed on patients lying on their sides.
- Both methods displayed similar accuracy for the inclination angle, but the PAG outperformed the PNS in terms of anteversion angle accuracy.
- Additionally, the PAG group had shorter surgical times and less blood loss, indicating that conventional methods can be as effective or even better than computer-assisted techniques in certain scenarios.

Background: Achieving adequate alignment has traditionally been an important goal in total knee arthroplasty to achieve long-term implant survival. While accelerometer-based hand-held navigation systems (ABN) has been introduced as a way to achieve alignment, there is a limited body of evidence on its accuracy, especially in patients under 65 years with differing etiologies for knee arthritis. This study aimed to assess the precision of a specific ABN system in restoring the mechanical axis and report surgical variables and complications, with particular attention to younger patients.
