Popis: We evaluated the accuracy and clinical usefulness of preoperative templating in 109 cementless total hip arthroplasties. The size of the prosthesis was exactly predicted in 46 (42.2%) acetabular and 75 (68.8%) femoral components. The accuracy increased to greater than 90% if the prosthesis size was within 1 or 2 sizes (above or below) for femoral component and acetabular components, respectively. Having a contralateral total hip arthroplasty as a guide for preoperative templating was associated with greater accuracy in predicting the femoral component size only. Eighty-eight percent of the acetabular components were oriented inside the presumed safe range for inclination; 42% of the acetabular components were in the presumed safe range of anteversion. The mean postoperative leg length discrepancy was 0.9 ± 6.8 mm; 93.5% had a discrepancy within 10 mm.
