AI Article Synopsis
- Spinopelvic motion is important for the proper placement of the acetabular cup in total hip arthroplasty (THA), with sacral slope (SS) being a key measure of this motion.
- The study examined changes in SS in different positions (supine, standing, sitting) pre- and post-THA among 76 patients, categorizing their spinopelvic mobility.
- Results showed significant variability in SS changes after THA, especially in sitting, with many patients transitioning from stiff or hypermobile mobility to normal post-surgery.
Article Abstract
Purpose: Spinopelvic motion plays an important role in functional acetabular cup position after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Sacral slope (SS) has been a useful surrogate for spinopelvic motion. The present study aimed to investigate statistical characteristics of spinopelvic motion before and after THA using changes in SS in supine, standing, and sitting positions.
Methods: A total of 76 patients (88 hips) were assessed. To classify spinopelvic mobility, defined as a change in SS from standing to sitting position (ΔSS), 10° ≤ ΔSS ≤ 30°, ΔSS < 10°, and ΔSS > 30° were considered normal, stiff, and hypermobile, respectively.
Results: Over ± 7° changes in SS between before and one year after THA were observed in 39 (44.3%) hips in the sitting position, 19 (21.6%) hips in the supine position, seven (7.9%) in the standing position. Percentages of hips with stiff spinopelvic mobility (11.4% vs. 22.7%) and hypermobile spinopelvic mobility (23.9% vs. 12.5%) between before THA and one year after THA were significantly different (p = 0.034 and p = 0.016, McNemar's test). At one year after THA, 40.0% (4/10) of hips with stiff spinopelvic mobility and 57.1% (12/21) of hips with hypermobile spinopelvic mobility shifted to normal spinopelvic mobility.
Conclusions: Change in SS between before THA and one year after THA had a high inter-subject variability especially in the sitting position. In addition, there was a distinct shift to normal spinopelvic mobility postoperatively in hips with stiff and hypermobile spinopelvic mobility pre-operatively.

: Instability is a major reason for revision after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and acetabular cup placement in the "traditional" safe zone does not protect against dislocations. Spinopelvic mobility may play a role in impingement and dislocation after THA. Personalized acetabular cup placement that incorporates spinopelvic mobility is currently lacking in the literature.

- The study investigates the relationship between hip mobility and spinopelvic tilt, finding that higher hip movement (∆PFA ≥ 95°) significantly increases the risk of adverse spinopelvic mobility when transitioning from standing to seated positions.
- 337 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) were analyzed using x-rays to measure spinopelvic tilt (∆SPT) and pelvic femoral angle (∆PFA), demonstrating distinct differences in these measurements based on patient mobility levels.
- Results indicate that patients with high hip mobility are at a much greater risk of experiencing significant spinopelvic mobility issues, suggesting the importance of assessing hip function before surgery to manage potential complications.

Background: Degeneration of the spine may affect pelvic parameters and hip mobility. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of degenerative scoliosis and spinopelvic parameters on hip hemiarthroplasty dislocations.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent hemiarthroplasty for intracapsular hip fracture over a twenty-year period.
The Impact of Spinopelvic and Hip Mobility on Passive Hip Flexion Range of Motion Assessment.

Background: Measuring passive hip flexion range of motion (ROM) is challenging due to compensatory movements. Despite the interest in using functional lateral radiographs for assessing hip mobility, the relationship with passive hip flexion ROM remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate this relationship and clarify spinopelvic parameters and mobility factors influencing variations in passive and radiographic hip flexion ROM.

Introduction: Pelvic incidence - lumbar lordosis (PI-LL) mismatch is often considered when assessing spinopelvic alignment in the sagittal plane. The mismatch is conventionally obtained by measuring 2 separate angles on lateral spinopelvic radiographs. This study describes a simplified approach for assessing spinopelvic mobility and measuring the PI-LL mismatch through the evaluation of the L1-spinopelvis angle (L1SP).
