Basic ScienceWhat is the Impact of a Spinal Fusion on Acetabular Implant Orientation in Functional Standing and Sitting Positions?
Section snippets
Methods and Materials
This was a nonrandomized, retrospective, case-control study of consecutive patients who were assessed with EOS imaging and 3D Stereos reconstructions and who met our inclusion and exclusion criteria as presented in the next section. Patients were recruited by the Department of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, Pitié-Salpétrière Hospital, between 2013 and 2015 on approval from the institutional review board.
The case group included all patients in our department who underwent primary THA with a
How Does Spinal Fusion Impact the Acetabular Implant Anteversion and Inclination?
Table 1 shows the measured parameters in patients (history of spinal fusion vs no spinal fusion). There was no substantial difference in cup inclination in standing position between the two groups (case: 47.4°, control: 46.4°; P = .3769). The mean standing SS (case: 32.4°, control: 39°; P = .0001), sitting SS (case: 24.6°, control: 20.6°; P = .008), sitting cup inclination (case: 52.3°, control: 56.4°; P = .007), standing cup anteversion (case: 32.1°, control: 21.7°; 0.0001), and sitting cup
Discussion
In this study, primary THA patients with different levels of previous spinal fusion were compared with THA patients who did not have spinal surgery using preoperative and postoperative 3D imaging in standing and sitting positions. The findings show the limited ability of patients with THA and predating spinal fusion to adapt the spinopelvic junction in a sitting/standing position, compared with patients without spinal pathologies. Even if the absolute mean values of cup anteversion are similar
Conclusion
This study shows the importance of assessing the lumbosacral junction during the physical examination of THA patients. Patients with lumbar spinal fusion have less adaptability of the lumbosacral junction. Inclusion of the thoracic spine or sacrum in spinal fusions has a critical impact on hip-spine biomechanics and significantly affects the ability to compensate during daily activities. This may result in hip subluxation, dislocations, or abnormal wear. We suggest precise evaluation of the
