Does intraoperative fluoroscopy improve limb-length discrepancy and acetabular component positioning during direct anterior total hip arthroplasty?
Journal of Arthroplasty May 18, 2018
Bingham J, et al. - Authors sought to compare acetabular cup position and limb-length discrepancy (LLD) utilizing a direct anterior approach with and without fluoroscopy. The charts of patients that underwent direct anterior THA with or without intraoperative fluoroscopy were reviewed. Results suggested that between the fluoroscopy and non-fluoroscopy groups, there was no clinically or statistically significant difference in acetabular inclination, anteversion, or LLD. A similar mean acetabular cup position and an equivalent mean LLD was achieved by both the surgeons.
