Abstract
Accurate placement of the femoral and acetabular components is crucial to retain the natural hip Range of Motion (RoM) in hip resurfacing, as well as prevent accelerated wear and subsequent premature component failure. Currently, magnetic resonance images and anterior-posterior radiographs are commonly used to diagnose and assess pathological conditions of the hip that may require a hip resurfacing arthroplasty...The main objective of this study was to investigate the use of an existing computer-aided design (CAD) software package to generate a three-dimensional (3D) computer model of the pelvis and upper femur, for use by a surgeon in pre-surgical planning.
