Measuring total hip arthroplasty liner wear using the EOS Imaging System: experimental and clinical results.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
background and purposeThe low-dose EOS Imaging System is an emerging tool for 3-dimensional measurements in orthopedics. The clinical feasibility for measuring total hip arthroplasty (THA) liner wear has not yet been investigated. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using EOS to measure THA liner wear by examining the experimental accuracy using a THA phantom and clinical precision of patients with THA, considering a clinically relevant precision at the 95% repeatability limit to be 0.2 mm.
methodsAn experimental THA phantom with movable stem and a fixed cup with a plastic liner was constructed to simulate progressive 3D liner wear. Series of 11 pairs of radiographs with 50 μm femoral movement in between were obtained for each 3D axis in EOS. 30 patients with a THA were scanned twice using EOS to assess precision. Model-based radiostereometric analysis (RSA) was used for wear measurement.
resultsThe mean difference (true minus simulated wear) with standard deviation (SD) and 95% limits of agreement for experimental THA wear were 0.005 (0.037) and [-0.069 to 0.079] mm for the vertical (y) axis. The mean (SD) and 95% repeatability limit for precision for clinical measurement were -0.029 (0.105) and 0.218 mm.
conclusionExperimental THA liner wear using EOS was within clinically relevant tolerances and without bias. The clinical precision was just outside our defined clinically relevant precision. Compared with conventional RSA, EOS is less accurate and precise but may still be of value for certain clinical applications, provided larger sample size or longer follow-up are available.
