Abstract
Background: While previously considered unsuitable for revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA), the direct anterior approach (DAA) can be extended to allow for safe acetabular component revision. In primary hip arthroplasty, the DAA and its associated fluoroscopy, has been shown to produce more acceptable component positioning. However, there is little data comparing the DAA to the posterior approach (PA) for rTHA. We hypothesised that, the DAA with intraoperative fluoroscopy would allow for more precise acetabular component positioning when compared to those performed using a PA. Methods: 50 consecutive patients (25 DAA and 25 PA) undergoing rTHA were included. Radiographic analysis of postoperative acetabular component position was then performed. Univariate and multivariate analyses was performed to assess the contribution of approach on cup positioning inside classically defined "safe zones". Results: Baseline patient characteristics were similar. The PA was associated with more cups placed outside the Lewinnek (48% vs. 12%,p = 0.005) and the Danoff (52% vs. 28%,p = 0.083) "safe zones" when compared to the DAA. Multivariate analysis revealed that operative approach was the only patient or surgical factor associated with component position outside of the "safe zones" (Lewinnek [OR = 13.6; 95% CI, 2.12-87.9,p = 0.006] and Danoff [OR = 7.7; 95% CI, 1.48-40.1,p = 0.015]). Conclusion: Our results suggest that the DAA allows for more reproducible and precise cup placement in RTHA. The safe-zone paradigm remains a useful index of accurate cup positioning and the DAA, with use of intraoperative fluoroscopy, offers more consistent acetabular component positioning when compared to the PA.
