Article Abstract
Purpose: Postoperative limb length discrepancy (LLD) is a common complication of total hip arthroplasty, and several methods exist to prevent LLD, but each has its benefits and drawbacks. The study investigates the application of intraoperative lower limb length measurement in preventing postoperative LLD.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 70 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty from October 2018 to July 2022. The length of the lower limb on the operated side was measured intraoperatively using a sterilized paper ruler after the fitting of the trial mould and compared with the healthy side. Then the prosthesis size, depth and neck length were adjusted accordingly.
Results: The absolute value of postoperative LLD was found to be 6.68 ± 4.48 mm, of which 53 cases (75.7%) were less than or equal to 10 mm, while 30 patients (42.9%) were less than or equal to 5 mm.
Conclusion: The use of intraoperative measurement is effective in reducing LLD after total hip arthroplasty.

Functional Outcomes in Failed Osteosynthesis of Proximal Femoral Fractures Managed by Total Hip Replacement Using the Modified Hardinge Approach: An Ambispective Cohort Study.

Introduction Proximal femoral fractures are a major cause of disability, particularly in aging populations, with an increasing incidence. Although osteosynthesis remains the first-line treatment, failures are common due to various complications. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the preferred salvage procedure in such cases, despite its technical challenges.

Introduction: anatomical deformities such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and Perthes disease represent a challenge for reconstruction. The use of 3D-printed models can be helpful for assessing the deformity, bone mass, implant size, and orientation.
Objectives: to prospectively evaluate the outcomes of 3D simulation in primary total hip arthroplasty.

Introduction: the presence of implants that occupy the femoral canal is frequent in patients undergoing ipsilateral total knee replacement (TKR). The use of electronic alignment and robotic assistance make intramedullary alignment unnecessary and could be adequate in situations with an occupied femoral canal (OFC).
Material And Methods: we present a prospective cohort of 25 patients who underwent robotic alignment TKR and had prior ipsilateral surgery in the femur that resulted in occupied femoral canal.

Background: Differentiating periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) from aseptic failure is challenging in total joint arthroplasty. To date, there is no consensus about the most accurate criteria to diagnose PJI. The current study compares common diagnostic PJI criteria.

Background: Accurate acetabular cup orientation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is crucial for successful outcomes. Intraoperative fluoroscopy may be used to evaluate acetabular cup placement. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of purely visual estimation of cup inclination and anteversion using intraoperative fluoroscopy, considering different surgeon experience levels and cup designs.
