Accurate acetabular cup orientation could lead to successful surgical results in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We introduce a novel CT-based three-dimensional (3D) planning system, HipCOMPASS (Fig.1) and TARGET (Fig.2), which enable to design suitable alignment not only cup also surgical devices calculatingly, according to each pelvic inclination. We performed THA in 45 hips in 43 patients (female 37 and 6 men) between April 2014 and October 2015. Average age were 68 years old. THA operation was based on each parameter of the cup and device, providing a preoperative planning by ZedView system. HipCOMPASS and TARGET is linked with ZedView software, which is simultaneously calibrated adjustable parameters on this devices. Cup alignment was assessed by ZedView as well.Introduction

We introduce a novel CT-based three-dimensional (3D) planning system, HipCOMPASS (Fg.1) and TARGET (Fig.2), which enable to design suitable alignment not only cup also surgical devices calculatingly, according to each pelvic inclination. We performed THA in 13 patients (10 female and 3 men) between September 2014 and April 2014. Average age were 67 years old. THA operation was based on each parameter of the cup and device, providing a preoperative planning by ZedView system.
