Predictability of Pelvic Tilt During Total Hip Arthroplasty Using a Traction Table

摘要

Background: Pelvic positioning during total hip arthroplasty (THA) affects functional position of the acetabular component. We sought to evaluate whether preoperative pelvic tilt correlated with intraoperative pelvic tilt while positioned on a traction table for direct anterior THA and furthermore to evaluate whether there was a consistent and predictable effect on pelvic tilt while positioned for surgery.
