Benefit of 3-D Planning in Total Hip Replacement. A Prospective Randomized Study

Sponsor: Balgrist University Hospital

Summary

In this prospective randomized four-armed study the investigators aim to compare wheter 3-D planning, which necessitates preoperative CT acquisition and sophisticated planning together with engineers, results in measurable benefits in terms of objective and subjective outcome values in a collective of patients undergoing primary total hip replacement. Hypothesis: 1. When compared to 2-D planning, 3-D planning of a THR results in better hip reconstruction, better subjective and clinical outcome and better longevity of total hip implants. 2. When compared to a non-anatomical stem, an anatomical stem allows better hip reconstruction, better subjective and clinical outcome and better longevity of total hip implants.
