Automated Web Tool Measurement of Total Hip Arthroplasty Acetabular Component Inclination and Anteversion Angles.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Periprosthetic hip dislocation after total hip arthroplasty is a devastating postoperative complication. It is often associated with suboptimal orientation of the acetabular component, characterized by the acetabular abduction and anteversion angles obtained from anteroposterior pelvic radiographs. We introduce a novel automated web tool to streamline the subjective and lengthy process of this manual measurement and compare it to manual human measurements.

Methods

One board-certified orthopaedic surgeon used the web tool to make automatic measurements of anteroposterior radiographs of 97 patients who underwent unilateral hip arthroplasty. Manual and web tool measurements included abduction angle and calculated anteversion angle by Liaw's method. Differences betwee
