Is Model-based Radiostereometric Analysis Suitable for Clinical Trials of a Cementless Tapered Wedge Femoral Stem?
CONCLUSIONS: The accuracy of model-based RSA for measurement of the y axis rotation was not quite as high as that of marker-based RSA, but its clinical precision is at an acceptable level.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Model-based RSA may be suitable for clinical trials of cementless tapered wedge femoral stem designs.
