Efficacy of Computed Tomography-Based Navigation for Cup Placement in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Conclusions: The results show that the use of navigation for revision total hip arthroplasty improved cup positioning and reduced the range of outliers. Improvement of cup placement accuracy influenced the installation of the stem and also improved the achievement rate of combined anteversion. Thus, a computed tomography-based navigation system is very useful for surgeons when placing the cup within the target angle in revision total hip arthroplasty. PMID: 30838107 [PubMed - in process]
