title: The application of advanced CT imaging and computer graphics methods to reconstructive surgery of the hip.
abstract: Advanced computed tomographic and computer graphic techniques enhance diagnostic accuracy and offer the means by which three-dimensional operative planning can be achieved. These techniques have been used to diagnose hip pathology, rehearse and evaluate surgical plans, assess postoperative results, and design individualized prostheses.
