Anthropometric Measurement about the Safe Zone for Transacetabular Screw Placement in Total Hip Arthroplasty in Asian Middle-aged Women: In Vivo Three-Dimensional Model Analysis

Although the pelvic vascular injury caused by a transacetabular screw is rare, it is a major local complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). We aimed to obtain anthropometric data about the safe zone for the placement of transacetabular screws by analyzing the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction model and determine the safe length of transacetabular screws by performing the 3D simulated surgery.
