Abstrakt: Introduction: Templating is now the standard approach for preoperative planning of total joint replacement and fracture fixation. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of new software, TraumaCad™, for preoperative planning for total hip replacement. Methods: This software enables the import and export of all picture archiving communication system (PACS) files from local working stations. It can integrate with all PACS systems. We retrospectively reviewed TraumaCad™-generated templates of digitalized preoperative radiographs of 73 consecutive patients. Results: The acetabular component, measured within ± 1 size, was accurate in 65 patients (89%), and the femoral stem design component was accurate in 70 patients (97%). The accuracy of the femoral size was predicted in 57 patients within 1 size (87%) and in 65 patients within 2 sizes (96%) out of 68 patients in the Corail femoral component group. TraumaCad™ successfully predicts the sizes of femoral and acetabular component and easily integrates with all PACS files. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
