Background: An automated measurement system for the placement angles of acetabular cup in total hip arthroplasty prostheses was developed utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. The AI-powered system enables immediate measurement by capturing an anteroposterior pelvic X-ray through a smartphone camera.
Methods: While developing the AI-powered measurement system, we trained AI utilizing 100 labeled anteroposterior pelvic X-rays to recognize the hip joint and 483 labeled anteroposterior pelvic X-rays to identify anatomical landmarks and the acetabular cup. To validate the AI-powered system, we measured the acetabular cup placement angles of 126 unlabeled post-total hip arthroplasty anteroposterior pelvic X-rays with both the AI-powered system and conventional measurement methods and assessed the correlation between the 2 methods.
Results: The Pearson's correlation coefficients for the acetabular cup placement angles measured using the AI-powered system and conventional method were 0.88 (95% confidence interval, 0.84-0.92, < .001) in inclination angle and 0.76 (95% confidence interval, 0.67-0.83, < .001) in anteversion angle, respectively.
Conclusions: Both inclination and anteversion angles measured using the AI-powered system showed a strong correlation with angles obtained through conventional methods.

Lewinnek zone not "the be-all and end-all" functional planning for acetabular component positioning in total hip arthroplasty.
Arthroplasty

Sant'Andrea Hospital, Faculty of Medicine and Psychology, Sapienza University of Rome, 00162, Rome, Italy.
Background: Proper positioning of a total hip arthroplasty (THA) plays a crucial role in the success and long-term survivorship of the implant. Cup positioning within the Lewinnek Safe Zone (LSZ) does not, however, avoid implant dislocation. Thus, the concept of a functional cup position has been introduced.

Expert Rev Med Devices
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kansai Medical University, Hirakata, Osaka, Japan.
Introduction: There is a worldwide trend toward 'revisiting' cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). In Japan, however, cemented THAs accounts for 11%, and the percentage of cemented hemiarthroplasty is estimated to be less than 10%. This review was designed to reconsider the option of cemented THA and to encourage policy changes in Japan to support the best possible care for patients.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine, Toon, Japan.
Aims: Excellent outcomes have been reported following CT-based robotic arm-assisted total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) compared with manual THA; however, its superiority over CT-based navigation THA (nTHA) remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether a CT-based robotic arm-assisted system helps surgeons perform accurate cup placement, minimizes leg length, and offsets discrepancies more than a CT-based navigation system.
Methods: We studied 60 hips from 54 patients who underwent rTHA between April 2021 and August 2023, and 45 hips from 44 patients who underwent nTHA between January 2020 and March 2021 with the same target cup orientation at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Ozu Memorial Hospital, Japan.
Dual-Mobility Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients with Obesity, Morbid Obesity and Super-Obesity: Medium-Term Outcomes of a Series of 180 Hips.
Indian J Orthop
January 2025
Trauma & Orthopaedics, Hinchingbrooke Hospital, North-West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, Huntingdon, UK.
Background: Obesity has been consistently proven to be associated with an increased risk of dislocation following total hip arthroplasty (THA). As the prevalence of obesity continues to rise globally, it is of vital importance to minimise risks, including dislocation rates, in these patients undergoing THA.
Methods: We describe a series of patients with obesity, morbid obesity (BMI ≥ 40) and super-obesity (BMI ≥ 50) undergoing THA at our institution over a 10-year period using a dual-mobility acetabular cup.
Salvage Total Hip Replacement for Failed Proximal Femoral Fracture Fixation.
Cureus
November 2024
Trauma and Orthopaedics, North Manchester General Hospital, Manchester, GBR.
Introduction: Salvage arthroplasty for failed proximal femoral fracture fixation is a complex procedure. This involves the removal of the primary failed or broken implant followed by a hip joint replacement procedure. The complications and technical difficulties associated with these surgeries are often difficult to anticipate.
