  • A FLUOROSCOPY-BASED TECHNIQUE TO MEASURE INTRAOPERATIVE CUP ANTEVERSION
    Publication number: 20170224418
    Abstract: Direct anterior approach (DAA) with the patient lying supine has facilitated the use of intraoperative fluoroscopy and allows for standardized positioning of the patient. The method disclosed herein uses intraoperative fluoroscopy to measure acetabular component anteversion and more particularly, a method for measuring/calculating intraoperative cup (acetabular component) anteversion is provided based on the measured acetabular component abduction angle and a c-arm tilt angle (CaT).
