Abstract

BACKGROUND: Measuring cup orientation is time consuming and inaccurate, but orientation influences the risk of impingement and dislocation following total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study designed an artificial intelligence (AI) program to autonomously determine cup orientation, correct for pelvis orientation, and identify cup retroversion from an antero-posterior pelvic radiographs.
