Auto-Hip Procedure

Auto Hip Procedure is a software module for the automatic marking of specific points within an anterior-posterior pelvis X-ray image. The program then positions the desired implant according to predefined orthopedic rules—enabling fully automatic hip preplanning.

A set of anatomic landmarks on a pelvic AP X-ray is defined in a way that determines the size of the femoral stem and its expected stable position in the femoral canal. Points of interest are the femur midline and diameter of its channel, greater trochanters tips, lesser trochanters tips and bottom tangent line to the visible ischial tuberoses curves.
