“SCALING MARKER POSITION DETERMINES THE ACCURACY OF DIGITAL TEMPLATING FOR TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY

In this study, we have demonstrated the importance of proper scaling marker position for accurate digital templating for hip surgery. The first part of this study used a known acetabular cup size and varied the position of the scaling marker. This demonstrated that placing the scaling marker at the level of the center of the acetabular implant produces an accurate template… Conclusions: Digital templating relies on scaling marker position to accurately estimate implant size.”
