3D Planning in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A New Approach to More Precise Surgery

Abstract

Introduction: The objective of this work was to evaluate clinically and radiographically the results of computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty in the management of coxarthrosis, the influence of certain factors on the results compared to conventional arthroplasty, its limits and its complications. Methods: We conducted a review of the literature concerning the interest of 3D planning in total hip prosthesis. Results: In terms of functional results, a clear clinical improvement was noted, in particular thanks to the relatively short duration of the operation and especially thanks to the hospitalization time of an average of 5 days. The survival rate of the prostheses was 100%. The radiographic results were also satisfactory with a markedly improved Harris functional score, a very close leg length with an overall inclination angle of 38 compared to 45 for the conventional prosthesis. Conclusion: Our study confirmed the data in the literature concerning the results of computer-assisted total hip arthroplasty, and supported the advantages and disadvantages of this technique.
