Is visual intraoperative estimation of range of motion misleading in minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty?
Even the experienced surgeon's intraoperative estimation of ROM by eye is not reliable and differs up to 30° compared to objective measurements in minimally invasive THA. For accurate intraoperative assessment of ROM, the use of technical devices is recommended.
This study indicates that ECV is more effective in restoring sinus rhythm in AF patients with clustering compared to patients in whom no clustering is apparent on 3D plots. In addition, the degree of clustering appears to be predictive of the overall outcome of ECV; the higher the degree of clustering, the higher the likelihood of sinus rhythm at follow-up.
