A novel efficient and precise technique for removing acetabular osteophytes in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty: the SH-9Hospital acetabular edge file.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is frequently performed in patients with end-stage hip disease. Periacetabular osteophytes are common during THA; however, these osteophytes should be removed intraoperatively to avoid potential impingement between osteophytes and femoral prostheses and decrease dislocation risk. There are no current standard procedures or surgical technique criteria to remove these osteophytes. Osteophytes around the acetabulum are usually removed with an osteotome, yet this presents certain disadvantages. Hence, this study aimed to introduce a novel and more efficient technique than the aforementioned one, the SH-9Hospital acetabular edge file.

Methods

Fifty-four patients (54 hips) who underwent primary THA using osteotome and the SH-9Hospital acetab
