Use of patient-specific templates in hip resurfacing arthroplasty: experience from sixteen cases
2013
Purpose
Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is a technically demanding operation, requiring both accuracy and precision in placement of the acetabular and femoral components. Malalignment of the component can lead to notching and possible femoral neck fractures. We used specific templates created using a rapid prototyping machine based on the patients’ anatomy, to aid in accurate intraoperative pin placement.
