Abstract:
1. A method for placing a pelvic implant in a patient, said pelvic implant including a cup having a predetermined cup component and a femoral stem having a predetermined stem component, comprising: obtaining image data corresponding to the cup and femoral stem; using the image data to display a geometrical relationship between the cup and the femoral stem corresponding to a location of the cup and femoral stem in the patient; determining a target combined anteversion for relative orientation of the cup component and the stem component; and virtually positioning at least one of the cup within the patient's pelvis or the stem within the patient's femur such that a combined anteversion between the predetermined cup component and the predetermined femoral stem component corresponds to the target combined anteversion, wherein virtually positioning includes determining a geometry of the femoral stem after the cup has been placed in the pelvis.
