Surgical Approach and Reaming Depth Influence the Direction and Magnitude of Acetabular Center of Rotation Changes During Total Hip Arthroplasty

摘要

Changes in acetabular or hip center of rotation (HCOR) commonly occur during acetabular component preparation during total hip arthroplasty (THA). HCOR displacement in mediolateral or superoinferior directions is known to influence offset and leg length, but the incidence and range of HCOR change in the anteroposterior direction is less understood as the sagittal plane cannot be measured on standard anteroposterior radiographs. This study assessed the 3-dimensional displacement of HCOR after cup implantation and evaluated for potential factors associated with increased acetabular component translations.
