Several criteria for calculation of these target zones are discussed in literature and a combined target zone (CTZ) has been defined on the basis of morphological and morphofunctional parameters. Especially the definition of a patient-specific target ROM is important for prediction of postoperative prosthesis ́ functionality. Prosthetic impingement can limit movements und thus restrict patients in their activities of daily living. A precise analysis of the postoperative target ROM can help to provide prosthetic impingement during movements, which are essential for the individual patient and also improve the size of the resulting CTZ for prosthesis alignment. We analyzed four different ROM definitions and their impact on the size of the ROM based target zone (ROMTZ) as part of the CTZ on a database of 200 patients. We found significant differences between the sizes of the resulting ROMTZs. Hence, our study underlines the effectiveness of a differentiated evaluation of the individual target ROM for optimized preoperative planning in THA.Keyphrases: biomechanics, endoprothetis, hip In: Joshua W Giles and Aziliz Guezou-Philippe (editors).
