SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREOPERATIVE PLANNING FOR TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY

摘要

Planning tools for surgery, particularly for THA, are provided. Images of musculoskeletal structure of a patient (e.g. associated with respective planes and in a same or different functional position) may be displayed together and via co-registration and spatial transformations, 3D implants or other objects may be rendered and overlaid in a same position correctly with respect to each image. The 3D implant may be fit (e.g. via handles or automatically using image processing) to an existing implant in the patient and moved to other positions, for example, to measure the existing position or plan for an initial or new position. Measures may be represented with respect to various planes associated with the respective image and/or with respect to an existing implant.
