The influence of head-neck and implant position on the range of motion after total hip arthroplasty

摘要

To study the influence of head-neck ratio and implant position on the range of motion (ROM) after total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods In this study the author established a three-dimensional computerized model of hip joint and tested the range of motion of three different head-neck ratio after total hip arthroplasty.Results Range of motion after total hip arthroplasty depended on design parameters such as head-neck ratio,but also on the implantation parameters such as the cup’s inclination and antevertion,the stem’s antevertion and their combination of each other.Optimal range of motion required compliant position of total hip components.The range of motion increased with the enlarging of head-hnck ratio.Conclusion Higher head-neck ratio leads to optimal range of motion and decreased the prevalence of prosthetic impingement within compliant,well-defined combination of cup’s inclination,cup’s antevertion and stem’s antevertion depending on the intended ROM.Domestic magnesium-silicon jade total hip prosthesis has too low head-neck ratio to result in enough range of motion that fulfilled daily living after total hip arthroplasty.14 refs,4 figs,3 tabs.
