In the course of a prospective randomized controlled trial, 60 patients with unilateral hip arthrosis received cementless THA through a minimally-invasive anterolateral surgical approach. One year post-operatively, LL and global OS restoration were analyzed and compared to the contralateral hip on AP pelvic radiographs. The combined postoperative limb length/OS reconstruction of the operated hip was categorized as restored (within 5 mm) or non-restored (more than 5 mm reduction or more than 5 mm increment). The acetabular component inclination, anteversion and femoral component anteversion were evaluated using CT scans of the pelvis and the femur. 3D gait analysis of the lower extremity and patient related outcome measures (HHS, HOOS, EQ-5D) were obtained pre-operatively, six months and twelve months post-operatively by an observer blinded to radiographic results. Component position of cup and stem was comparable between the restored and non-restored group. Combined LL and OS restoration within 5 mm resulted in higher Froude number (p < 0.001), normalized walking speed (p < 0.001) and hip range-of-motion (ROM) (p = 0.004) during gait twelve months postoperatively, whereas gait symmetry was comparable regardless of LL and OS reconstruction at both examinations. Clinical scores did not show any relevant association between the accuracy of LL or OS reconstruction and gait six/twelve months after THA. In summary, postoperative LL/OS discrepancies larger than 5 mm relate to unphysiological gait kinematics within the first year after THA.

We aimed to research into the impact of high offset (HO) and standard stems on postoperative ROM. 121 patients received cementless THA through a minimally-invasive anterolateral approach. A 360° hip ROM analysis software calculated impingement-free hip movement based on postoperative 3D-CTs compared to ROM values necessary for activities of daily living (ADL). The same model was then run a second time after changing the stem geometry between standard and HO configuration with the implants in the same position. HO stems showed higher ROM for all directions between 4.6 and 8.9° (p < 0.001) compared with standard stems but with high interindividual variability. In the subgroup with HO stems for intraoperative offset restoration, the increase in ROM was even higher for all ROM directions with values between 6.1 and 14.4° (p < 0.001) compared to offset underrestoration with standard stems. Avoiding offset underrestoration resulted in a higher amount of patients of over 20\% for each ROM direction that fulfilled the criteria for ADL (p < 0.001). In contrast, in patients with standard stems for offset restoration ROM did increase but not clinically relevant by offset overcorrection for all directions between 3.1 and 6.1° (p < 0.001). Offset overcorrection by replacing standard with HO stems improved ROM for ADL in a low number of patients below 10\% (p > 0.03). Patient-individual restoration of offset is crucial for free ROM in THA. Both over and underrestoration of offset should be avoided.}, language = {en} } @article{BenditzAuerSpoerreretal., author = {Benditz, Achim and Auer, Simon and Sp{\"o}rrer, J.F. and Wolkerstorfer, S. and Grifka, Joachim and S{\"u}ß, Franz and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {Regarding loads after spinal fusion, every level should be seen separately: a musculoskeletal analysis}, series = {European Spine Journal}, volume = {27}, journal = {European Spine Journal}, number = {8}, publisher = {Springer-Verlag}, doi = {10.1007/s00586-018-5476-5}, pages = {1905 -- 1910}, abstract = {The number of spinal fusion surgeries is steadily increasing and biomechanical consequences are still in debate. The aim of this study is to provide biomechanical insights into the sagittal balance of the spine and to compare spinal load before and after spinal fusion. METHOD: The joint reaction forces of 52 patients were analyzed in proximo-distal and antero-posterior direction from the levels T12-L1 to L5-S1 using musculoskeletal simulations. RESULTS: In 104 simulations, pre-surgical forces were equal to post-surgical. The levels L4-L5 and T12-L1, however, showed increased spinal forces compression forces with higher sagittal displacement. Improved restauration of sagittal balance was accompanied by lower spinal load. AP shear stress, interestingly decreased with sagittal imbalance. CONCLUSION: Imbalanced spines have a risk of increased compression forces at Th12-L1. L4-L5 always has increased spinal loads.

In order to optimize function, hip biomechanics should be restored to as near normal as possible. The goal of this pilot study was to determine whether or not it is feasible to compute the vectorial hip reaction force pathways on the head of the prosthesis and the force angles relative to the cup of the prosthesis that occur during gait in total hip replacement patients, serving as an objective measurement of the functional outcome following hip replacement. A three-dimensional gait analysis, measuring ground reaction forces and kinematics, was performed. The data retrieved from the gait analysis was used as the input for the musculoskeletal model to compute vectorial joint reaction forces for data processing. To evaluate the position and orientation of the joint reaction forces, the force path, as well as the force angles for the operated and non-operated joint, has been calculated during the stance phase of the specific leg. The force path for subject 2 on the non-operated side is only located in the posterior-lateral quarter, as is the force path for subject 1. In contrast to this subject, the force path for subject 2 at the operated hip joint can be found only within the anterior quarter of the head of the implant, where it is nearly equally distributed in the medio-lateral half of the prosthesis head. The force-inclination angles on the cup of subject 1, with respect to the plane of the socket face, indicates that the force vector is mainly positioned in the same quadrant when compared with subject 2 (in a cup-fixed coordinate system). The force-anteversion angle behaves similarly to the force-inclination angle, even when the effects are not as pronounced. The proposed methods in this article are aiming to define two functional outcomes of total hip replacement that are related to wear and rim loading. It is accepted that wear is not only a function of time, but a function of use. Owing to the methods listed in this article, we are able to determine a) the applied force and b) the sliding distance (force pathway) in a subject-specific manner. The computed hip-reaction force angles and the distance to the rim cup are a measurement for cup or rim loading, and occurs in the so-called safe-zones. This method may well give us insight into the biomechanical situation during gait, after receiving total hip replacement, that we need to fully understand the mechanisms acting on a hip joint and to prove a possible increase of functional outcome after receiving total hip replacement.}, subject = {H{\"u}ftgelenkprothese}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WeberDendorferRenkawitzetal., author = {Weber, Tim and Dendorfer, Sebastian and Renkawitz, Tobias and Dullien, Silvia and Grifka, Joachim}, title = {Clinical gait analysis combined with musculoskeletal modelling - coding a new generation of evaluation instruments}, series = {Deutsche Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Biomechanik, Murnau, 2011}, booktitle = {Deutsche Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Biomechanik, Murnau, 2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WeberDendorferGrifkaetal., author = {Weber, Tim and Dendorfer, Sebastian and Grifka, Joachim and Weber, Markus and W{\"o}rner, Michael and Dullien, Silvia and Verkerke, Gijsbertus Jacob and Renkawitz, Tobias}, title = {Verbessert die computerassistierte Femur First Operationstechnik f{\"u}r die H{\"u}ftendoprothetik den muskuloskelettalen Lastfall auf das H{\"u}ftgelenk?}, series = {DKOU 2015, Deutscher Kongress f{\"u}r Orthop{\"a}die und Unfallchirurgie 2015}, booktitle = {DKOU 2015, Deutscher Kongress f{\"u}r Orthop{\"a}die und Unfallchirurgie 2015}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{WeberRenkawitzGrifkaetal., author = {Weber, Tim and Renkawitz, Tobias and Grifka, Joachim and Bulstra, Sjoerd K. and Verkerke, Gijsbertus Jacob and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {The musculoskeletal load scenario of computer-assisted Femur-First THR up to one year after surgery}, series = {VI International Conference on Computational Bioengineering, Barcelona, Sept. 2015}, booktitle = {VI International Conference on Computational Bioengineering, Barcelona, Sept. 2015}, language = {en} } @article{VoellnerWeberWeberetal., author = {V{\"o}llner, Florian and Weber, Tim A. and Weber, Markus and Renkawitz, Tobias and Dendorfer, Sebastian and Grifka, Joachim and Craiovan, Benjamin}, title = {A simple method for determining ligament stiffness during total knee arthroplasty in vivo}, series = {Scientific Reports}, volume = {9}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, publisher = {Nature}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-019-41732-x}, pages = {1 -- 8}, abstract = {A key requirement in both native knee joints and total knee arthroplasty is a stable capsular ligament complex. However, knee stability is highly individual and ranges from clinically loose to tight. So far, hardly any in vivo data on the intrinsic mechanical of the knee are available. This study investigated if stiffness of the native ligament complex may be determined in vivo using a standard knee balancer. Measurements were obtained with a commercially available knee balancer, which was initially calibrated in vitro. 5 patients underwent reconstruction of the force-displacement curves of the ligament complex. Stiffness of the medial and lateral compartments were calculated to measure the stability of the capsular ligament complex. All force-displacement curves consisted of a non-linear section at the beginning and of a linear section from about 80 N onwards. The medial compartment showed values of 28.4 ± 1.2 N/mm for minimum stiffness and of 39.9 ± 1.1 N/mm for maximum stiffness; the respective values for the lateral compartment were 19.9 ± 0.9 N/mm and 46.6 ± 0.8 N/mm. A commercially available knee balancer may be calibrated for measuring stiffness of knee ligament complex in vivo, which may contribute to a better understanding of the intrinsic mechanical behaviour of knee joints.}, subject = {Biomechanische Analyse}, language = {en} }
