Abstract

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful orthopedic surgeries performed, in which the hip joint is reconstructed to improve functionality and decrease pain in the joint. Despite the success of these procedures, femoral stem misalignment remains an area that influences THA success. The relationship between the femoral stem geometry and implanted femoral stem size and orientation is underreported due to limitations in the collection of radiographic data used for clinical pre-operative templating. Furthermore, the influence of anatomic measurements on the direction and size of the femoral stem are not considered due to imaging technique and difficulties associated with reliably measuring, moreover are not reported. The overall goal was to develop a custom automated workflow to segment the intramedullary geometry and extract anatomic parameters from cadaveric femurs and to create an automated workflow for the implantation and evaluation of femoral stem positions.
