Alignment and Arthroplasty Justin Cobb Johann Henckel, Vijay Kannan, Farhad Iranpour, Robin Richards Imperial College London
Function is what really matters • ? The relationship with alignment ? • We know that they are related • But how directly? • The rules are different • For osteotomy • overcorrect 62% • For uka • Undercorrect leave varus • For tka • ?undercorrect? or neutral • We also know that everyone is different • So does everyone deserve a unique plan?
Accuracy vs function • Better function Type II error More accurate surgery
Our Aim • Preop plan for each individual • Precise operation • Documentation of position achieved • Correlated with function
This paper • Will show you how to measure • Will talk about what to measure • And suggest a way forward
1 how to measure • Computerised Axial Tomography • Modality of choice in the skeleton -Planning -Outcome measurement • Dose optimisation vs image quality • Minimising dose
X-rays • Inaccurate • Magnification • 8-20% • Perspective distortion • Rotation in one plane creates compound errors
CT • Virtual surgery • Accurate pre-op planning • Ability to measure outcome • And confirm the link • between structure and function
Dose measurements • Assumed Linear relationship • between radiation dose and malignancy. • Effective dose mSv -Weighted Dose received by the key dose sensitive organs. • 10mSv gives a 1 in 2000 risk of radiation induced malignancy. • 2.5mSv is annual background in UK
Risks • CXR – 0.02 mSv • Transatlantic flight 0.04mSv • Long leg measurement film – 0.7 mSv… • Lumbar spine x-ray – 1.3 mSv • CT abdo/pelvis – 10mSv • Upper recommended limit – 5 mSv / year • Perth protocol - 2.5 mSv (Chauhan et al JBJS 2004 86 – B) kV 140, mAs 85 2.5mm slices
Methods • Phantom pelvis and limbs • Varied the scan parameters • Evaluated the image quality • Effective dose measurements • 2 commercial software packages • CT DOSE & CT-EXPO
Splint • Conventional trauma splint • Stabilise leg and knee • Distract the medial condyles • Blind areas (Movement detection software)
Splinting Picture of splint note can open the joint • Motion detecting software

Scan Time • Actual scan time under 1 Min
New CT scanners • 16/64 slice – 256 • More Detectors (Use more of the dose) • Artifact reduction • Speed • Volume data in 3 planes • Standing CT • Segmenting MRI
Summary 1 • How to measure • Imperial Protocol: • CT can be rapidly acquired 40s • 2D and 3D post operative analysis • Real measurements of implant position can be obtained • We are now able to fully measure the accuracy of CAOS systems well within the envelope of +/- 2mm & 2 • For the same dose as a standing film
