Description
Summary:OBJECTIVE: to assess the reliability of the inclination angle and anteversion of acetabular cup component in patients with idiopatic osteoarthritis of the hip, aseptic necrosis and hip neck fracture using trigonometric formula and plain radiographs. METHODS: 66 patients underwent cemented total arthroplasty of 72 hips. The inclination of acetabular component was measured using plain radiograph. The acetabular component anteversion was measured using trigonometric formula. RESULTS: it was observed that, in the osteoarthritic hips, hip neck fracture and aseptic necrosis, the degree of agreement was highly significant (p < 0.0001), in the measurements of anteversion and inclination angles, among the three assessments, from intra as well as inter-observers. All the agreement pairs were of excellent degree (ICC > 0.80). CONCLUSION: using plain radiographs and trigonometric formula, the method resulted to be highly accurate and reliable. Besides being easy to be calculated. No significant variation was found in the anteversion and inclination angles when compared with osteoarthritis of the hip, aseptic necrosis and hip neck fracture.<br> OBJETIVO: Medir a confiabilidade do &#226;ngulo de inclina&#231;&#227;o e a antevers&#227;o do componente acetabular em pacientes com osteoartrose idiop&#225;tica do quadril, necrose ass&#233;ptica e na fratura do colo do f&#234;mur por meio de uma f&#243;rmula trigonom&#233;trica e radiografias convencionais. M&#201;TODOS: Foram tratados 66 pacientes com artroplastia total cimentada em 72 quadris. A inclina&#231;&#227;o do componente acetabular foi medida por radiografias panor&#226;micas de bacia em incid&#234;ncia anteroposterior. A antevers&#227;o do componente acetabular foi medida com o uso de f&#243;rmula trigonom&#233;trica. RESULTADOS: Observou-se que, tanto nos quadris com artrose, na fratura do colo do f&#234;mur e na necrose ass&#233;ptica, o grau de concord&#226;ncia foi altamente significativo (p < 0,0001), nas medidas dos &#226;ngulos de antevers&#227;o e inclina&#231;&#227;o, entre os tr&#234;s avaliadores, tanto intra como interobservador. Todos os pares de concord&#226;ncia foram de grau &#243;timo (ICC > 0,80). CONCLUS&#195;O: Usando radiografias convencionais e uma f&#243;rmula trigonom&#233;trica, o m&#233;todo mostrou ser altamente preciso, f&#225;cil de ser calculado e com grande confiabilidade. N&#227;o foi encontrada varia&#231;&#227;o significativa no &#226;ngulo de antevers&#227;o e no &#226;ngulo de inclina&#231;&#227;o quando comparado com a artrose do quadril, a necrose ass&#233;ptica e a fratura do colo do f&#234;mur.
