|
To define the necessary conditions between the femoral offset and reconstructed hip joint position to obtain a negative Trendelenburg sign after total hip arthroplasty. |
30 patients; 34 limbs with total hip arthroplasty, 18 limbs symptomatic and 8 limbs with hip osteoarthritis. |
Electromagnetic tracking instrument used to measure angle and standard anteroposterior hip radiographs. Trendelenburg test for 30s and retest after 30min rest. The angle formed by the line between the bilateral ASIS and the line between the ASIS and tibial tuberosity were measured on the stance limb side. The Trendelenburg test results were determined by the agreement of at least 3 of 4 orthopaedic surgeons. Standard anteroposterior hip radiographs measures. |
The angle at 30 seconds after starting the Trendelenburg test was subtracted from the angle at 0 seconds to give the tilt angle of the pelvis by the Trendelenburg test (o). Femoral offset (FO), body-weight lever arm and the distance between the centers of rotation of the bilateral femoral heads (CC) were measured on each radiograph. The femoral offset ratio (%FO) was calculated (FO/CCx100). |
