Accurate placement of the acetabular component during total hip
arthroplasty (THA) is an important factor in the success of the
procedure. However, the reported accuracy varies greatly and is
dependent upon whether free hand or navigated techniques are used.
The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of an instrument
system that incorporates 3D printed, patient-specific guides designed
to optimise the placement of the acetabular component. A total of 100 consecutive patients were prospectively enrolled
and the accuracy of placement of the acetabular component was measured
using post-operative CT scans.Aims
