Abstract

To investigate the accuracy of a novel 3D CT scan-based preoperative planning software linked to patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) for placing acetabular components planning in patients with acetabular dysplasia undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). A total of 30 consecutive patients were prospectively enrolled and the accuracy of placement of the acetabular component was measured using post- operative CT scans. There was good reproducibility of preoperative and postoperative position of reconstructed rotation center. The mean absolute deviation from the planned inclination and anteversion was 6.2° and 4.8°, respectively. In 90% of cases the planned target of +/-5° was achieved for both inclination and anteversion. And 95% of cases of planned target of +/-3mm were achieved for vertical height of rotation center. Accurate placement of the acetabular component can be achieved using patient-specific guides and is superior to free hand techniques.
