The primary purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the accuracy of cup placement between two instrumentation technologies: Cutting Guide and Conventional Instrumentation.
Using a more advanced surgical technique may assist surgeons and patients in a variety of ways including identifying a specific-size for the prosthesis prior to surgery, increasing operating room efficiency, and reducing the number of traditional instruments needed. This may reduce cost associated with the instrument inventory and instrument sterilization. Operating time may also be reduced, potentially decreasing the patient's risk of infection. However, before these hypotheses can be tested, it is important to fully understand the efficacy and accuracy of Signature Custom Guides and their use in Total Hip Arthroplasty.
