Brief summary

This study will involve a quantitative assessment of prospectively collected computed tomography, radiographic and patient outcomes data from multiple centers. Specifically looking at acetabular cup placement during Total Hip Arthroplasty by either traditional or robotic-arm assisted placement.

Detailed description

The incidence of dislocation following total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been reported to be from 1% to as much as 3.2%. The demand for THA is expected to increase. Post- dislocation solutions include closed reduction, open reduction, THA revision, and constrained cup, conversion to hemiarthroplasty, allograft or girdlestone resection. These solutions are often costly, painful and can involve substantial additional risks and complications. Acetabular cup placement is an important factor in the stability of the THA. Cup malpositioning has been associated with bearing surface ware and dislocation. For most patients, acceptable angles for abduction are 40° abduction (±10°) and 20° (±5°) version. However, malpositioning continues to occur resulting in cup angles outside acceptable ranges and leaving patients with an increased risk of dislocation. This objective of this study is to examine the acetabular cup placement of THA patients and compare results for patients who undergo THA with robotic-arm assistance with those who undergo traditional THA.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Accuracy of Acetabular Cup Placement Manually vs. Robotic-arm Assisted - Version.6 monthsAccuracy of cup placement will be measured by absolute value of degrees from target version (40 degrees). Using CT (Computed Tomography) Scans, analysis and radiographs will allow for a complete description of cup placement, and better accounts for factors such as pelvic rotation and/or tilt, otherwise not accounted for in radiographic analysis alone.
Change in Patient Reported Hip Dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) Survey Over 1 Year Period.1 YearThe hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score (HOOS) is a questionnaire intended to be used to assess the patient's opinion about their hip and associated problems and to evaluate symptoms and functional limitations related to the hip during a therapeutic process . To interpret the score, the outcome measure is transformed in a worst to best scale from 0 to 100, with 100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms. To calculate the total HOOS score the subscales need to be summed up.

It is part of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). It measures symptoms, functioning, and healthcare quality of life for a wide variety of conditions. The PROMIS Global-10 consists of 10 questions assessing physical health, mental health, social health, pain, fatigue, and overall perceived quality of life. 7 questions inquire about health in general and 3 questions assess emotional problems, fatigue and pain in the last 7 days.
