Abstract:
To contrast the methodology of measuring cup placement precision utilizing Mimics and Matlab programming, based on clinical CT images of primary THA cases with computer assisted navigated surgery (CANS) and with the traditional manual method (MANS). The method was applied and analyzed to measure cup anteversion, cup abduction of 50 clinical cases with CANS and MANSThe results show that, cup placement precision differences exits between primary THA cases with CANS and MANS; more cases with CANS are within the safe zone contrasting MANS, and there was less variation and less placement error in CANS cases. CANS can improve cup placement precision and reduce the chance of dislocation efficiently.
