Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most commonly performed orthopaedic operations worldwide. The main aim is overall improvement in levels of patient pain and mobility. Such surgery involves implantation of both an acetabular and femoral component. With the patient in the lateral decubitus position, the Orthopaedic Surgeon assumes that the pelvis is in a neutral position with respect to all three body planes at the time of acetabular component implantation.
With regard to THA, the current orthopaedic literature demonstrates a clear relationship between acetabular component positioning, polyethylene wear and risk of dislocation. Problems with edge loading, stripe wear and squeaking are also associated with higher acetabular inclination angles, particularly in hard-on-hard bearing implants.
The important parameters of acetabular component positioning are depth, height, version and inclination.
Control of acetabular component inclination, particularly in the lateral decubitus position, is difficult and remains a challenge for the Orthopaedic Surgeon.
Accurate implantation of the acetabular component within the 'safe zone' of radiological inclination is dependent on:
This study aims to investigate the effect of patient pelvic positioning and method of acetabular component insertion on acetabular component inclination during Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA).

| Radiological acetabular component inclination. | The study has two primary aims, each with a different primary outcome. The first primary aim is to investigate the effect of adjusting patient pelvic position in the transverse plane by using a head down position of the operating table. This is to determine, when aiming for 35° of operative inclination, which operating table position most accurately achieves a target radiological inclination of 42° on the post-operative x-ray:
| Radiological acetabular component inclination will be measured on the routine post-operative pelvic x-ray, usually within 48 hrs from time of surgery. |
| Operative Acetabular Component Inclination. | The study has two primary aims, each with a different primary outcome. The second primary aim is to determine which of the three methods of acetabular component insertion most accurately allows the Orthopaedic Surgeon to obtain the desired operative inclination of 35° during THA when using a cementless cup:
| Operative acetabular component inclination will be measured intra-operatively. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of cases in which the target radiological inclination of 42 +/- 5° is actually obtained. | Radiological acetabular component inclination will be measured on the routine post-operative pelvic x-ray, usually within 48 hrs from time of surgery. |
