Popis:	Accurate inclination and anteversion of the acetabular component is paramount to achieve a stable total hip arthroplasty, prevent prosthetic dislocation and minimize long- term wear. We present and evaluate a simple new technique to improve consistency in cup inclination during primary total hip arthroplasty, based on information available from the preoperative plan. The technique consists of assessing the distance and relationship between the inferomedial border of the acetabular cup and the inferomedial margin of the teardrop, with the use of a measuring probe. This simple surgical gesture improved consistency in cup inclination during total hip arthroplasty.
