The literature article entitled, "impingement-free range of movement, acetabular component cover and early clinical results comparing 'femur first' navigation and 'conventional' minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty" by t.Renkawitz, m.Weber, h-r.Springorum, e.Sendtner, m.Woerner, k.Ulm, t.Weber, and j.Grifka published by the bone & joint journal, doi: 10.1302/0301-620x.97b7.34729; on 3 february 2015 was reviewed for mdv reportability.The purpose: "we undertook a randomised controlled trial (rct) to assess whether the use of the ¿minimally invasive¿ femur-first navigation method would lead to a potential increased rom, sufficient acetabular component coverage and improved clinical outcomes compared with results obtained with conventional ¿minimally invasive¿ tha." the data included a total of 160 thas implanted with "press-fit acetabular components, uncemented hydroxyapatite-coated femoral components (pinnacle acetabular component, corail femoral component" between december 2011 and february 2013 with ages between 50 and 75 years.Table iii includes acetabular inclination ranges between 25.1 to 59.1 degrees and anteversion -4.1 to 40.8 degrees denoting mispositioned cups.Complications include: dislocation (1) received closed reduction & revision surgery, infection (1) with revision surgery (along with debridement, antiseptic lavage and change of liner/head), calcar fracture intraoperatively (1) treated with cerclage wire, partial sciatic nerve palsy that partially recovered within the following 12 months (1).Adverse events: surgical intervention, infection, femur fracture (intraoperatively), dislocation, nerve injury.Impacted products: depuy pinnacle liner, depuy pinnacle cup, unknown femoral head.
