Socket location in total hip replacement. Preoperative computed tomography and computer simulation.
For choosing the size and location of the acetabular component, we have developed a three-dimensional simulation system based on computerized tomography and a microcomputer. In 34 cases of coxarthrosis secondary to congenital dysplasia or dislocation, the system provided valuable preoperative information.
