Abstract
- Background: It is important to reorient the acetabular fragment into an optimal position and version to ensure a good long-term outcome after Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). Unfortunately, the intraoperative balance between overcorrection and undercorrection remains challenging for the surgeon. The purpose of this study was to answer two questions: (1) Does the femoral head coverage measured on intraoperative fluoroscopy agree with that measured on postoperative radiography? (2) What is the reliability of intraoperative fluoroscopy in identifying hip center correction in PAO? Methods: A total of 173 patients (173 hips) who underwent PAO for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) at our center from July 01, 2020, to December 31, 2020, were retrospectively reviewed. Imaging data from 111 patients (female/male, 98/13; right/left, 72/39; mean age, 28.93 years) were included in this study. The analysis included measurement of the lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), acetabular index (AI), anterior wall index (AWI), posterior wall index (PWI), extrusion index (EI), and medial offset distance (MO). These measurements were acquired from intraoperative fluoroscopic images and postoperative radiographs and compared by paired t test using SPSS (version 24.0). Significance was determined at a p value of < 0.05. Bland–Altman analysis, conducted using GraphPad Software (version 9), was used to quantify the agreement between intraoperative fluoroscopic images and postoperative radiographs. Results: The means (standard deviations, SDs) of the LCEA, AI, AWI, PWI, EI, and MO obtained on intraoperative fluoroscopy were 32.86° (5.73°), 0.66° (5.55), 0.29 (0.10), 0.75 (0.17), 11.15% (6.50%), and 8.49 mm (3.68 mm), respectively. On postoperative radiography, the corresponding values were 32.91° (6.31°), 1.63° (5.22°), 0.29 (0.15), 0.85 (0.14), 11.27% (7.36%), and 9.60 mm (3.79 mm). The differences in the LCEA, AWI, and EI acquired from intraoperative fluoroscopic images and postoperative radiographs were not significant (p = 0.90, 0.95, and 0.83, respectively), but those in the AI, PWI, and MO were significant (p < 0.05). The mean biases (95% limits of agreement) of the LCEA, AI, AWI, PWI, EI, and MO were − 0.04 (− 6.85), − 0.97 (− 7.78), 0 (− 0.30), − 0.11 (− 0.36), − 0.12 (− 11.92), and − 1.11 (− 5.51), respectively. Conclusion: The LCEA, EI, and AWI can be used to reliably predict postoperative femoral head coverage at the level of 2D graphics. Acetabular inclination can be cautiously assessed using AI on intraoperative fluoroscopy. In the absence of intraoperative 3D image evaluation, the AWI and PWI demonstrate acceptable agreement between fluoroscopy and radiography in assessing the acetabular version. Although the MO shows slight bias, it can be helpful in properly positioning the acetabulum during PAO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
