A2: THR & HR
As the majority of hip arthroplasties placed without navigation continue to be significantly malpositioned, the need for efficient, simple, and accurate methods of ensuring proper component positioning has become increasingly important. Traditionally, navigation of both total hip arthroplasty and hip resurfacing has taken the form of image-based or image-free systems based on optical or electromagnetic tracking. Increasingly, navigation has been evolving toward both individual patient-specific custom template guides or reuseable mechanical navigation instruments that can be adjusted for individual patient anatomy.
This course will cover:
- Image-free and image-based registration techniques
- Mechanical navigation using customized templates based on pre-operative CT imaging
- Mechanical navigation using re-useable instruments adjusted for individual patient anatomy based on either pre-operative CT imaging and plain radiographs
- Clinical outcomes following application of each of these techniques
The course will be presented by scientific and clinical leaders and pioneers in the field of hip navigation. At the conclusion of the course, clinicians will be familiar with simple, efficient methods of achieving proper component positioning with little, if any, additional operative time.
