Abstract
Templating software can determine and visually depict the location and size of cuts in a trochanteric osteotomy, including an extended trochanteric osteotomy. The software can also calculate the size and area of fixation for a newly implanted prosthesis, based upon which the new prosthesis that will be implanted in a particular patient can be selected. Additionally, an adjustable cut guide can stabilize and guide the cuts during the procedure.
