Abstract
Total hip resurfacing arthroplasty is increasingly being used. One of its goals is to closely mimic the normal anatomy and normal biomechanics of the hip joint. Prosthesis location has a large impact on implant survival and patient function; but in conventional hip resurfacing arthroplasty, precise positioning sometimes cannot be achieved. We describe a novel method for ensuring accurate prosthesis implantation in hip resurfacing arthroplasty by means of 3-dimensional reconstruction and reverse engineering.
