Objective  To investigate the accuracy and effectiveness of acetabular cup placement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) after lumbar fusion applying of modified acetabular anteversion and inclination angles test system. Methods  A clinical data of 45 patients undergoing THA for osteoarthritis between January 2018 and June 2023 was retrospectively analyzed. All patients had previously received lumbar fusion. The modified acetabular anteversion and inclination angle test system was used in 26 cases (observation group) and not used in 19 cases (control group) during THA. There was no significant difference in baseline data such as gender, age, body mass index, operative side, number of lumbar fusion segments, and preoperative Harris score between the two groups (P>0.05). The position of acetabular prosthesis, hip function (Harris score), and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results  In the observation group, all acetabular cups were in the safe zone (anteversion angle, 25°-30°) during operation, and 1 acetabular cup (3.85%) was not in the safe zone after operation. In the control group, 9 acetabular cups (47.37%) were not in the safe zone. The postoperative difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between intra- and post-operative acetabular inclination angles in the observation group (P>0.05), and the postoperative acetabular inclination angle was significantly smaller in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). All incisions healed by first intention and no infection occurred. All patients were followed up 6 months. There was no significant difference in Harris score between the two groups at different time point (P>0.05), and there were significant differences between different time points in the two groups (P<0.05). No joint dislocation occurred in the observation group during follow-up, while dislocation occurred in 2 cases and femoral impingement syndrome occurred in 1 case of the control group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion  For THA patients with lumbar fusion, the ideal placement angle of the acetabular cup can be obtained by using the modified acetabular anteversion and inclination angles test system during operation.
