FREE HAND NAVIGATION INSTRUMENTS FOR TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY

Abstract

Methods provide computer-navigation assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures. Such procedures include the use of a navigated instrument, e.g., a navigated reamer construct or a navigated inserter construct to prepare the acetabulum and insert an acetabular shell, a camera tracking system adapted to track a pose of the navigated inserter or reamer construct relative to the patient in use, and a computer platform adapted to receive pose tracking information and generate and display navigational guidance for the user.
