Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate an accuracy between calibrating method and non-calibrating method in templating bipolar hemiarthroplasty on PACS.

Methods: We prospectively compared 30 post-operative x-rays of both hip AP with calibrating tools in patients after underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty was performed. We measured heads of femurs on the normal sides with two different methods, as previously mentioned, and compared to the actual implants’ size.

Result: Comparing the two methods showed no statistical significance (95% CI -0.24-0.891). By contrast, we found mean difference of calibrating method more accuracy than non-calibrating method.

Conclusion: This recent study showed that using calibrating method did not provide better accuracy than non-calibrating method and denied our hypothesis and against prior studies.
