A computer-implemented method for checking the correct alignment of a hip prosthesis, includes: detecting a 3D model of the pelvic bone of a patient in a preoperative phase, detecting at least one 2D image of the pelvic bone in post-implant situation, selecting an image of the 3D model according to a first inclination thereof and detecting a reference element on said selected image of the 3D model, identifying a plurality of reference points on the 2D image, superimposing the 2D image on said selected image of the 3D model, checking the correct superimposition and correspondence of the reference points of the 2D image with the reference element with said image of the 3D model, and detecting possible differences in the positioning of the pelvic bone in post-implant configuration with respect to the preoperative situation.
