Abstract:
Virtual reality technology was utilized to assess the effect of component orientation and component design on the range of motion prior to impingement following total hip arthroplasty. Components were digitized, oriented in the pelvis, and computer animations were performed to assess the likelihood of dislocation with different combinations of component orientation.
