Prosthesis Loosening Imaging With Dual Energy and Tomosynthesis (PLIDET)

August 17, 2016 updated by: Central Hospital, Nancy, France

Study of Diagnostic Performances of Dual Energy Imaging With Flat Detectors and Tomosynthesis in Identification of Loosening of Painful Hip Prosthesis

The purpose is to determine diagnostic performances of flat panel dual energy arthrography and arthro-tomosynthesis in identification of loosening of painful hip prosthesis, taking as reference the results of surgery performed 6 months after arthrography.

Secondary purposes are:

  • To describe the level of concordance of each technique with the indication for surgery
  • To study inter-technique concordance with kappa coefficient
  • To study the relationship between density differential between 2 acquisitions and grey level on subtraction, i.e. subtraction quality according to metal

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Hip arthroplasty has become one of the most performed orthopedic procedures. Actual average lifetime of total hip prosthesis is approximately 15 years. Some complications are inevitable. Total hip prosthesis imaging, performed to search for a complication or wear, is difficult and depends on many techniques. Subtracted arthrography is a good technique but its access is limited because it needs an angiography room.

In this study patients undergo standard arthrography, dual energy arthrography, arthro-tomosynthesis and arthro-tomography.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Presence or absence of prosthesis loosening detected with 3 radiographic techniques (dual-energy arthrography, arthro-tomosynthesis and single-energy tomography) and surgery
Time Frame: from day 0 up to 6 months

Gold standard is presence or absence of prosthesis loosening revealed with surgery performed after 6 months from arthrography.

Data of patients undergone surgery and not are collected and analyzed. Any clinical or imagery sign of loosening in non-operated patient, will be classified as loosening. A surgery decision for suspicion of loosening will be considered loosening.

from day 0 up to 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Comparison between density differential between 2 acquisitions and grey level on subtraction
Time Frame: day 0
