Overview

Demonstrates enhanced limb length accuracy in total hip arthroplasty, implying high patient satisfaction.

Key Points

  • To improve limb length restoration in total hip arthroplasty through a patient-specific approach.
  • Included 102 patients undergoing primary hip arthroplasty.
  • Assessed patient-perceived and surgeon-examined limb length differences.
  • Determined target hip length using radiographic measurements and physical examination.
  • 32.35% of patients reported perceived limb length discrepancies before surgery.
  • Postoperative satisfaction was over 99% with no symptoms of limb length discrepancy.
  • Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score improved significantly from pre- to postoperative.
