Abstract
Background
Iliopsoas impingement after total hip arthroplasty can result not only from acetabular cup but also from cup fixation screw. However, research addressing this screw impingement is scarce, leaving the details undetermined. This study aimed to elucidate the incidence and threshold of symptomatic iliopsoas impingement attributable to protrusion of the cup fixation screw into the iliopsoas muscle and to evaluate its impact on postoperative radiographic imaging findings and patient-reported outcome measures.
Methods
A total of 152 hips were included in this study. The symptomatic threshold of screw protrusion was determined using a receiver operating characteristic curve, and patients were divided into low-protrusion and high-protrusion groups using this threshold. The area and Hounsfield Unit values of the iliopsoas muscle on CT and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire postoperatively were investigated.
Findings
10 hips (6.5%) were exhibited symptoms of IPI in this series. The threshold for screw protrusion length was identified as 6.4 mm. Patients in the high protrusion group exhibited significantly larger area and lower Hounsfield Unit values of the iliopsoas muscle. In addition, the high protrusion group revealed significantly lower scores (total, pain, movement, mental). Furthermore, subscales scores (pain, movement) in the high protrusion group didn't improve from 3 months to 12 months postoperatively with significance.
Interpretation
This study underscores the imperative for surgeons to consider the length of the cup fixation screw. This careful consideration is crucial for mitigating the incidence of postoperative iliopsoas impingement and enhancing total hip arthroplasty outcomes.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
