The Application of Conventional Joint Replacement Templating Techniques to Digital Radiographs: A Novel Technique
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2011, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Pre-operative templating in arthroplasty is essential in improving surgical precision. More hospitals in Malaysia are employing digital radiographs for this reason. Unfortunately, the software used in arthroplasty templating is implant specific, and quite costly. I describe here a novel technique for preoperative templating in hip arthroplasty using template sheets meant for use with conventional radiographs. This technique is generic for all implants, and doesn’t require the added cost of specialized software.
