Comparative Analysis and Accuracy of Surgeon- and Prosthesis Manufacturer-Generated Radiographic Templates in Total Hip Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preoperative templating in total hip arthroplasty (THA) improves surgical accuracy and predictability. Recently, prosthesis manufacturers (PMs) have introduced industry-generated templating systems, but their accuracy compared to surgeon-generated templates has yet to be evaluated.

Methods

A retrospective review was conducted on THAs performed by 2 surgeons between October 2023 and September 2024. Surgeon-generated and PM-generated templates were compared to actual implanted components. Accuracy of acetabular and femoral component sizing, as well as femoral offset prediction, was assessed using χ² analysis (P < .05). Subgroup analyses examined the influence of patient sex and body mass index on accuracy.

Results

A total of 306 surgeon temp
