Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Acetabular cup positioning in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is closely related to outcomes. The literature has suggested cup parameters defined by the Lewinnek safe zone; however, the validity of such measures is in question. Several studies have raised concerns about the benefits of using the Lewinnek safe zone as a predictor of success. In this study we elected to use prospective surgeon targets as the basis for comparison to see how successful surgeons are positioning their cup using standard instruments and techniques. Methods: A prospective, global, multicenter study was conducted. Cup positioning success was defined as a composite endpoint. Both cup inclination and version needed to be within 10° of the surgeon target to be considered a success. Radiographic analysis was conducted by a third-party reviewer. Results: In 170 subjects, inclination, target versus actual, was 44.8° [standard deviation (SD 0.9°)] and 43.1° (SD 7.6°), respectively (p = 0.0029). Inclination was considered successful in 84.1% of cases. Mean version, target versus actual, was 19.4° (SD 3.9°) and 27.2° (SD 5.6°), respectively (p < 0.0001). Version was considered successful in 63.4% of cases, and combined position (inclination and version) was considered successful in 53.1%. Conclusion: This study shows that with traditional methods of placing the cup intraoperatively, surgeons are only accurate 53.1% of the time compared with a predicted preoperative plan. This study suggests that the inconsistency in cup positioning based on the surgeon’s planned target is potentially another important variable to consider while using a mechanical guide or in freehand techniques for cup placement in THA. Trial Registration: This study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03189303.
