The accuracy and precision of CT-RSA in arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

 Computed tomography-based radiostereometric analysis (CT-RSA) is an alternative to conventional radiostereometric analysis (RSA) in measuring implant migration, circumventing the need for operative insertion of tantalum markers. The accuracy and precision of different CT-RSA techniques in various joints are still unclear, and the effective radiation dose (ED) of CT-RSA is usually higher than RSA. In this systematic literature review, we aimed to provide an overview of the accuracy, precision, clinical precision, and ED of CT-RSA techniques.

Methods

 We performed a systematic search in PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases. Main search items were "arthroplasty" AND "migration" AND "computed tomography." We included full-text English papers, using CT f
