Radiostereometic analysis (RSA) is an accurate method for rigid body pose (position and orientation) in three-dimensional space. Traditionally, RSA is based on insertion of periprosthetic tantalum markers and manual implant contour selection which limit clinically application. We propose an automated image registration technique utilizing digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRR) of computed tomography (CT) volumetric bone models (autorsa-bone) as a substitute for tantalum markers. Furthermore, an automated synthetic volumetric representation of total knee arthroplasty implant models (autorsa-volume) to improve previous silhouette-projection methods (autorsa-surface). As reference, we investigated the accuracy of implanted tantalum markers (marker) or a conventional manually contour-based method (mbrsa) for the femur and tibia. The data are presented as mean (standard deviation). The autorsa-bone method displayed similar accuracy of -0.013 (0.075) mm compared to the gold standard method (marker) of -0.013 (0.085). The autorsa-volume with 0.034 (0.106) mm did not markedly improve the autorsa-surface with 0.002 (0.129) mm, and none of these reached the mbrsa method of -0.009 (0.094) mm. In conclusion, marker-free RSA is feasible with similar accuracy as gold standard utilizing DRR and CT obtained volumetric bone models. Furthermore, utilizing synthetic generated volumetric implant models could not improve the silhouette-based method. However, with a slight loss of accuracy the autorsa methods provide a feasible automated alternative to the semi-automated method.

Purpose: To assess the relation between tendon migration, as measured by radiostereometric analysis, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after biceps tenodesis (BT); to determine the likelihood of achieving clinically significant outcomes (CSOs) after BT; and to identify factors that impact CSO achievement.
Methods: Patients undergoing arthroscopic suprapectoral or open subpectoral BT at a single, high-volume academic medical center were prospectively enrolled. A tantalum bead sutured to the tenodesis construct was used as a radiopaque marker.

Historically, pedicle screw accuracy measurements have relied on CT and expert visual assessment of the position of pedicle screws relative to preoperative plans. Proper pedicle screw placement is necessary to avoid complications, cost and morbidity of revision procedures. The aim of this study was to determine accuracy and precision of pedicle screw insertion via a novel computer vision algorithm using preoperative and postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans.

Background: Lower doses of irradiation (≤ 5 Mrad) during the manufacture of highly crosslinked polyethylene acetabular liners may result in less crosslinking and an increased wear rate. Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) studies have found that wear of more highly irradiated highly crosslinked polyethylene liners (7 to 10 Mrad) decreases at longer-term follow-up compared with earlier reports of the same cohorts. Although wear of 5-Mrad irradiated liners appears to increase at midterm follow-up, it is unclear whether that remains true at longer follow-up.
