Fluoroscopy-Assisted Computer Navigation Accurately Determines Cup Position and Leg Length for Anterior Hip Arthroplasty

CONCLUSION: A novel fluoroscopy-assisted computer navigation platform accurately assessed intraoperative cup position and LLD during anterior total hip arthroplasty. Careful attention to fluoroscopic technique, positioning of radiographic landmarks, and knowledge of the limitations of fluoroscopy, including parallax effect, are important concepts that surgeons should incorporate into their decision algorithm.
