This study suggests that the use of patient-specific instrumentation in total hip arthroplasty can improve acetabular component positioning and postoperative functional outcomes without increasing intraoperative time or blood loss compared to standard instrumentation.
Background: Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) has been suggested to reduce improper component posi-tioning, though the effectiveness of PSI in total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains inconclusive. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiographic parameters and clinical outcomes comparing PSI and standard instru-mentation (SI).Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the 2020 PRISMA state-ment and was registered on PROSPERO. PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Google Scholar, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for relevant studies pertaining to the use of PSI in THA. Inclusion criteria included PSI used in THA, PSI was directly compared to SI, and publication in English. Exclusion criteria included non-primary THA, review articles, abstracts, book chapters, and animal models.Results: 2,458 studies were initially identified, with 13 studies (677 THAs: 338 controls, 339 PSI) meeting all criteria. PSI was favored for the deviation from the preoperative plan for acetabular cup position for anteversion (p = 0.04) and inclination (p = 0.0002); risk of acetabular cup positioning outside the Lewinnek safe zone for anteversion (p = 0.005) and inclination (p < 0.0001); and postoperative Harris Hip Score (p = 0.0002). No significant differences were found for the deviation from the preoperative plan for femoral stem position for anteversion (p = 0.74) or varus/valgus (p = 0.15); intraoperative time (p = 0.55); or intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.62).Conclusion: The use of PSI in THA is effective in improving acetabular component positioning and postoperative functional outcomes, without increasing intraoperative time or blood loss, compared to SI.
