Does two dimensional templating allow for the use of reduced-size ancillaries in total hip arthroplasty?

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Rising costs in healthcare for total hip arthroplasty (THA) mean that new solutions must be considered, such as the use of single-use ancillaries (SUA). The goal of this study was to assess the accuracy of 2D templating in primary THA for the use of reduced-size SUA. Our hypothesis was that the accuracy of 2D templating in primary THA would be higher than 95%, give or take two sizes.

Method

This single-centre prospective study included all primary THAs performed over two years. Templating was carried out using 2D templating on anteroposterior pelvic X-rays. The template sizes were compared to the implant sizes. The primary endpoint was the rate of coincidence between digitally templated estimates and the actual implant sizes. The secondary endpoint was the difference
