Abstrakt: | Background: Preoperative planning is important for successful total hip arthroplasty (THA) and has been historically performed using acetate templates. Digital software templating has been adopted for evaluating implant size, position, and alignment. Commercial software can be expensive, but free programs exist. Detroit Bone Setter (detroitbonesetter.com, Detroit, MI) is a freely available templating program, but hasn't been validated. Our study reports this program's accuracy for templating THA. Methods: Sixty-five patients undergoing THA between 2017 and 2022 at 2 hospitals were included. All cases were templated by the senior author or orthopaedic trauma fellow prospectively or retrospectively in a blinded fashion. Direct anterior or posterior approaches were used based on attending surgeon's preference. A student's t-test was used to compare means of templated vs actual implant sizes of femoral and acetabular components. Results: There was no significant difference between implanted (mean [M] = 6.4, standard deviation [SD] = 2.0) and templated femoral component sizes (M = 5.7, SD = 2.1). There was a significant difference between implanted (M = 57.0, SD = 3.9) and templated acetabular component sizes (M = 53.4, SD = 3.0). Bland-Altman testing demonstrated femoral components with positive measurement bias of 0.62, indicating slight overestimation of implant size. Acetabular component size was overestimated with positive measurement bias of 3.6 mm. Conclusions: Detroit Bone Setter is advantageous as it is freely available and supports most major company implants. It accurately templated femoral component size but consistently overestimated acetabular component size by 3.6 mm. Further studies are needed prior to recommending its routine use for templating THA when other validated methods exist. It could be used with caution when no other methods are available.
