Article Abstract
Background: The purposes of this study were to determine the accuracy of our cup positioning method and to evaluate the dislocation rate after total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: After positioning the patient in the lateral decubitus position on the operation table, an anteroposterior view of the hip was taken. The pelvic pitch was measured on the X-ray. A positive pitch was defined as the caudal rotation of the upper hemipelvis. Our target abduction of the cup was 43°. We used the cup holder to guesstimate the cup abduction. In a preliminary study, we found that the weight of the cup holder increased the pelvic pitch by 5°. Thus, the target abduction of the cup holder was calculated by a formula: 43° - pelvic pitch - 5°. During the cup insertion, the cup holder was anteverted to the calculated target according to the concept of combined anteversion. We evaluated 478 THAs (429 patients), which were done with the use of the method.
Results: The mean cup abduction was 43.9° (range, 32.0°-53.0°) and the mean error of cup abduction was 2.4° (standard deviation [SD], 2.0°; range, 0.0°-11.0°). The mean cup anteversion was 28.5° (range, 10.0°-42.0°) and the mean error of cup anteversion was 6.7° (SD, 5.2°; range, 0.0°-27.6°). Of all, 82.4% of the cups (394 / 478) were within the safe zone: 30°-50° abduction and 10°-35° anteversion. During 2- to 5-year follow-up, no hip dislocated.
Conclusions: Our adjusting method according to the pelvic pitch can be a reliable option for optimizing the cup abduction in THA.

The positive effect of moral self-concept on fraudulent behavior and the need for moral cleansing.
Sci Rep

University of Szeged, Szeged, Hungary.
Both moral cleansing and moral licensing theories suggest that moral self-concept positively influences subsequent engagement in fraudulent behavior. Specifically, a decrease in moral self-concept reduces dishonesty (moral cleansing), while an increase promotes it (moral licensing). However, within these theoretical frameworks, prior research has rarely measured moral self-concept directly, and even fewer studies have manipulated it experimentally.

Background: Early exposure to interpersonal adverse events, such as traumatic childhood events or exposure to bullying, abuse, or harassment, can impact an adult's psychological functioning. The negative effects on quality of life and the increased risk of psychopathological outcomes may underscore long-lasting vulnerabilities. Psychological flexibility is defined as the ability to be present in the moment and to pursue one's values, and it can facilitate coping with adverse events occurring in the present.

To analyze the short-and medium-term clinical outcomes of Mako robotic-assisted posterior-lateral approach in complex primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). A retrospective case series analysis was conducted on 29 patients with complex hip conditions who underwent Mako robotic-assisted posterior-lateral approach at Department of Orthopaedics, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from November 2020 to December 2024. The patient cohort included 14 cases of developmental dysplasia of the hip, 8 cases of ankylosed hip, 3 cases of traumatic hip arthritis, 3 cases of sequelae of purulent hip arthritis, and 1 case of synovial chondromatosis.

Background: Accurate cup placement is performed for achieving satisfactory outcomes after total hip arthroplasty. Portable hip navigation systems are novel intraoperative tools for accurate cup placement. Several factors have been reported to affect their accuracy, including the flip technique, in which the pelvic reference plane is registered in the supine position and the patient is subsequently repositioned to the lateral decubitus position for surgery.

Background: Safe zones have been proposed to prevent dislocation after total hip arthroplasty. However, plenty of studies suggest that the current safe zones are not safe. In this study, we aimed to establish and verify a personalized optimal orientation-based safe zone for cup placement in total hip arthroplasty.
