Introduction

A high inclination angle has been linked to an increased dislocation rate, liner fracture, and increased wear. The aim of this study was to compare the operative (OI) with the radiological inclination (RI) angle and determine the influence of patient morphology on pelvic tilt and cup inclination angle.

Methods

In the first cohort of 100 patients undergoing uncemented primary total hip arthroplasty, the cup was inserted freehand. In the second cohort of 100 patients, the OI was measured with the aid of a digital inclinometer. RI and pelvic tilt in lateral decubitus were measured.
