Imaging of the Hip Prior to Replacement: What the Surgeon Wants to Know. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Total hip arthroplasty is an effective treatment for severe degenerative arthritis and is increasingly being used. Radiography is the primary modality for the initial diagnosis of osteoarthritis and preoperative planning. Additional radiographic views may include the spine and lower extremities in order to optimize implant positioning for the individual patient. Computed tomography is sometimes used for preoperative planning and intraoperative robotic assistance. Magnetic resonance imaging and diagnostic ultrasound is generally reserved for patients without obvious arthritis. Ultrasound-guided injections may provide diagnostic and/or therapeutic benefits.
