Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the centralization of the distal stem of hip femoral prosthesis after total hip replacement with CT imaging. Methods T he 4th zone of the femoral stem of hip prosthesis in 18 cases was scanned with c omputerized tomography; the affected limb was fixed, the window level was 1 500 to 2 000. The rectangular coordinat was established, its origin was the center o f femoral medullary cavity, and the line parallel with the connecting line betwe en the posterior borders of femoral medial lateral condyles was X axis. The foll owed variables were recorded on CT imaging: 1)the distance of the centers(the me dullary cavity center and femoral prosthetic center); 2) medullary cavity radius ; 3) the distance of the centers/medullary cavity radius; 4) the relationship of the prosthetic hip and quadrant; 5) metal pseudo imagines.The distal femoral st em of hip prosthesis could be measured and analyzed. Results Through CT scan, th e location of the distal stem in femoral medullary cavity could be accurately sh own and viewed directly. The distances between the femoral stem tips and the cen ters of medullary cavity, the radius of femoral medullary cavity, and the quadra nt which the stem tips are located at, could be considered as quantitative indic es on the centralization of the femoral distal stem of hip prosthesis. Conclusio n The centralized status of the distal stem of hip prosthesis can be observed wi th CT imaging. CT imaging is a kind of accurate and quantitative analysis method . It not only can guide the doctor to study and improve the surgical techniques, but also offer a reliable basis for correlative research. [
