Is the contralateral lesser trochanter a reliable reference for planning of total hip arthroplasty – a 3-dimensional analysis

Abstract Background Preoperative templating in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is mandatory to achieve appropriate offset and leg length equality. However, templating methods using the contralateral hip might be susceptible to errors resulting from side-differences in the femoral morphology. The distan...
