Can Dislocation Rates Be Decreased Using the Anterior Approach in Patients With Lumbar Spondylosis or Lumbar Instrumented Fusion?

Timothy L. Kahn et al.

Summary: The study showed that using an anterior surgical approach for total hip arthroplasty in patients with lumbar spondylosis or fusion can significantly reduce postoperative instability rates.

The Hip-Spine Relationship in Total Hip Arthroplasty: How to Execute the Plan

Abhinav K. Sharma et al.

Summary: Patients with spinopelvic pathology undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) require consideration for lumbar spinal stiffness and sagittal spinal deformity. By assessing patient-specific spinopelvic parameters, surgeons can optimize acetabular component positioning to minimize postoperative complications and improve outcomes.

Pelvic Tilt and the Pubic Symphysis to Sacrococcygeal Junction Distance: Risk Factors for Hip Dislocation Observed on Anteroposterior Pelvis Radiographs

William G. Rainer et al.

Summary: A study was conducted to investigate the effect of pelvic tilt on the risk of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a novel radiographic measurement. Patients who experienced dislocation had more posterior pelvic tilt and smaller PSCD compared to controls. Patients with a PSCD <0 had 9-fold odds of dislocation, highlighting the importance of evaluating pelvic tilt and PSCD for identifying increased risk of dislocation.
