Hip election radiographic plane (HERP) in the preoperative planning of prostheses with femoral neck preservation.
In the preoperative radiographic planning of total hip prosthesis implantation, the hip election radiographic plane (HERP) is an essential, "dedicated" tool, i.e. it is indispensable for correct implant planning, especially as regards the femoral component and specifically some types of devices which, like the Biodynamic or CFP prostheses, allow preservation of the femoral neck.
