Determining and Achieving Target Limb-Length and Offset in Total Hip Arthroplasty using Intraoperative Digital Radiography

Achieving appropriate limb-length and offset in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is challenging. Target limb-length and offset may not always mean equal radiographic measurements bilaterally. The goal of this study is to introduce a method for determining as well as achieving target limb-length and offset using digital radiographic (DR) measurements.
