During the last century, total hip arthroplasties have become more popular. They have had a huge impact on the quality of life, pain, range of motion, social interaction, and psychological well-being. A number of studies have emphasized the importance of using templates to choose the appropriate implant size when planning the surgery. Our aim is to use MediCad ® software to analyze the ability of the digital template system MediCad ® to predict the size of the implant needed in total hip arthroplasties.
