Abstract
A device (') for digitizing a center of rotation of a hip joint implant component (A,F) with respect to a bone element in computer-assisted surgery. The device (′) comprises a detectable member () trackable for position and orientation by a computer-assisted surgery system (). A body () is connected to the detectable member () in a known geometry. The body () has a coupling portion () adapted to be coupled to the hip joint implant component (A,F) in a predetermined configuration. The center of rotation of the hip joint implant component (A,F) is calculable in the predetermined configuration as a function of the known geometry and of the position and orientation of the detectable member ().
