Abstract
A computer-aided method of pre-operative planning of hip joint replacement is provided for establishing, from patient-specific images, femoral and acetabular implant sizes and cut planes. Image slices of a patient's hip joint are obtained. Coordinate positions of selected femur and acetabulum points (e.g., femoral head center, major trochanter midpoint, femoral shaft midpoint, acetabular rim high points and lowest point) in the images are marked, which allows the planning tool to perform a best fit analysis to offer a range of suitable implant and surgical cut plane parameters for selection by a surgeon. Patient-specific surgical jigs can then be constructed for the proximal femur and acetabulum of the hip joint corresponding to a surgeon selection between standard, mini, short-stem, and resurfacing hip replacement components and in accord with the surgeon-selected parameters.
