BACKGROUND: Patients with increased pelvic tilt (PT) are at risk for instability following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Identification of increased PT using anteroposterior (AP) pelvic radiographs could avoid additional spinopelvic radiographs. This study aimed to (1) describe which AP pelvic parameters most accurately estimate sagittal PT, and (2) determine thresholds for these parameters that can identify patients with increased PT.
METHODS: This was a retrospective, consecutive, cohort study in a tertiary referral hospital on 225 patients (age: 66 ± 12 years-old; 52% female) listed for THA. Patients underwent pre-operative standing AP pelvic radiographs to measure distance- and angular- based parameters from several anatomical landmarks. Sagittal PT was measured on a standing lateral spinopelvic radiograph and considered high when ≥ 20°.
RESULTS: No AP pelvic parameters correlated strongly with sagittal PT. Ratio between horizontal and vertical diameter of the pelvic foramen (C/D ratio) (rho - 0.341; p < 0.001); and vertical distance between trans-SIJ and trans-ASIS line (SITA) (rho 0.307; p < 0.001) correlated moderately with sagittal PT. Sacro-femoral-pubic (SFP) angle < 60° had highest sensitivity (85%), but lowest specificity (52%) to differentiate between patients with and without increased PT. If SITA > 62 mm, C/D ratio < 0.5 and SFP < 60°, specificity increased (88%), but sensitivity was low (49%).
CONCLUSION: In the absence of computerized models, AP pelvic parameters cannot accurately predict sagittal PT. However, an SFP < 60° should alert a hip surgeon that a patient may have an increased PT, and would benefit from additional lateral spinopelvic imaging prior to THA.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, diagnostic study.
