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.

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{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{WeberDullienGrifkaetal., author = {Weber, Tim and Dullien, Silvia and Grifka, Joachim and Renkawitz, Tobias and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {Validation of a Motion Capture Laboratory and a new marker-placement protcol for clinical applications}, series = {Gait \& Posture}, volume = {38}, journal = {Gait \& Posture}, number = {Suppl. 1}, doi = {10.1016/j.gaitpost.2013.07.229}, pages = {113 -- 114}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WeberRenkawitzBulstraetal., author = {Weber, Tim and Renkawitz, Tobias and Bulstra, Sjoerd K. and Grifka, Joachim and Verkerke, Gijsbertus Jacob and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {Biomechanics of computer-assisted vs. conventional THR after one year follow up}, series = {XXV Congress of the International Society of Biomechanics, Glasgow, UK, 12th-16th July 2015}, booktitle = {XXV Congress of the International Society of Biomechanics, Glasgow, UK, 12th-16th July 2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WeberDendorferBulstraetal., author = {Weber, Tim and Dendorfer, Sebastian and Bulstra, Sjoerd K. and Grifka, Joachim and Verkerke, Gijsbertus Jacob and Renkawitz, Tim}, title = {Navigated Femur First Total Hip Arthroplasty leads to improved Biomechanical Outcome after surgery}, series = {ORS annual meeting, Las Vegas, USA, 2015}, booktitle = {ORS annual meeting, Las Vegas, USA, 2015}, language = {en} } @article{WeberDendorferGrifkaetal., author = {Weber, Tim A. and Dendorfer, Sebastian and Grifka, Joachim and Verkerke, Gijsbertus Jacob and Renkawitz, Tobias}, title = {Does Computer-Assisted Femur First THR Improve Musculoskeletal Loading Conditions?}, series = {BioMed Research International}, volume = {2015}, journal = {BioMed Research International}, editor = {Takagi, Michiaki}, doi = {10.1155/2015/625317}, pages = {ID 625317}, abstract = {We have developed a novel, computer-assisted operation method for minimal-invasive total hip replacement (THR) following the concept of "femur first/combined anteversion," which incorporates various aspects of performing a functional optimization of the prosthetic stem and cup position (CAS FF).

Furthermore, risk factors correlating with high pelvic mobility were evaluated. During gait a high pelvic range of motion up to 15.6° exceeding 5° in 61.7\% (37/60) of patients before THA was found. After surgery, the pelvis tilted posteriorly by a mean of 4.0 ± 6.6° (p < .001). The pelvic anteflexion led to a mean decrease of -1.9 ± 2.2° (p < .001) for cup inclination and -15.1 ± 6.1° (p < .001) for anteversion in relation to the anterior pelvic plane (APP). Kinematic pelvic changes resulted in a further change up to 2.3° for inclination and up to 12.3° for anteversion. In relation to the preoperative situation differences in postoperative cup position ranged from -4.4 to 4.6° for inclination and from -7.8 to 17.9° for anteversion, respectively. Female sex (p < .001) and normal body weight (p < .001) correlated with high alterations in pelvic tilt. Kinematic pelvic changes highly impact cup anteversion in THA.
