Abstract
Successful joint replacement surgery requires precise preoperative planning and intraoperative placement of implants such that the function of the joint is optimized biomechanically and biologically. The five-step "pelvic tilt algorithm" will enhance the outcome of hip replacement surgery as a result of improved acetabular component alignment. It will solve the problem of pelvic tilt as an unknown variable during hip replacement surgery, and will allow for more consistent and accurate acetabular component placement.
