Popis: Background: Stem anteversion plays a crucial role in mitigating postoperative complications in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The application of the combined-anteversion theory in THA necessitates the intraoperative measurement of the stem anteversion angle (SAA). However, estimating SAA intraoperatively poses challenges for surgeons lacking a computer-assisted navigation system. In this study, we assessed the precision of intraoperative SAA measurements using a recently developed device, comparing them with 3-dimensional measurements obtained from postoperative computed tomography. Methods: We examined 127 hips in 127 patients who underwent unilateral THA at our institution. Employing our newly constructed device, attachable to rasping broach handles, we measured the SAA intraoperatively. This process involved incorporating the correction angle derived from the preoperative epicondylar view. We then compared the postoperative SAA with the intraoperative measurements, both with and without the correction angle, to ascertain the device's utility. Results: The device yielded an intraoperative SAA measurement of 17.93 ± 7.53°. In contrast, the true SAA measured on postoperative computed tomography was 26.40 ± 9.73°. The discrepancy between intraoperative and true SAA was 8.94 ± 5.44° (without the correction angle) and 4.93 ± 3.85° (with the correction angle). Accuracy within a discrepancy of
