A method for placing a pelvic implant including a cup and a femoral stem includes planning at least one of a location of the cup within a pelvis and a location of the stem within a femur such that a combined anteversion between a predetermined cup component and a predetermined femoral stem component satisfies a predetermined combined anteversion.

Navigated placement of pelvic implant based on combined anteversion by applying Ranawat's sign or via arithmetic formula

A positioning device for aligning at least one support on at least one structure includes a positioning tool configured to interface with a part of the structure, and a positioning element coupled to said positioning tool. The positioning element includes at least one holding part, wherein the at least one support is releasably coupled to said at least one holding part.

Device, system and method for positioning or preparing the positioning of a medical operating instrument

The present application relates to a surgical connecting device for connecting a first and second cutting block which each serve to make an incision on a first and second anatomical structure, comprising: a first attaching section for attaching the surgical connecting device to the first cutting block by a mechanical connection; a second attaching section for attaching the surgical connecting device to the second cutting block by a releasable mechanical connection; and a spacing section which spaces the first attaching section away from the second attaching section.

Connection of cutting blocks

Method for planning implant placement, the implant comprising a first implant in a first limb and a second implant in a second limb, the first and the second implant forming an artificial structure joining the first and second limb, the method comprising the steps:

Joint implant placement

The present application relates to a method for determining the position or relative position of body parts, taking into account the anatomical symmetry, wherein at least one first-side body part is provided on the first side of an anatomical body, and at least one second-side body part is provided on the second side of the anatomical body, wherein the first side is separated from the second side by a body symmetry plane, said method comprising the steps of: providing first-side body part data which describes or implies the position of the at least one first-side body part; providing second-side body part data which describes the position of the at least one second-side body part; providing symmetry plane data which describes the position of the body symmetry plane; calculating the mirrored position or mirrored positions of the at least one second-side body part which results after the position of the at least one second-side body part has been mirrored on the body symmetry plane, on the basis of the second-side body part data and the symmetry plane data, and determining and/or displaying a deviation between the mirrored position or positions of the at least one second-side body part and the position or positions of the at least one first-side body part; and/or determining a mirrored relative position of the second-side body parts, on the basis of the second-side body part data and the symmetry plane data.
