Study of Total Hip Arthroplasty Using Radlink Surgical Positioning Software

July 30, 2019 updated by: Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute

Prospective, Randomized Study to Evaluate Total Hip Arthroplasty With and Without Radlink Surgical Positioning Software

This is a prospective, randomized study of total hip arthroplasty with and without the use of Radlink surgical positioning software. The investigators are interested in discovering whether the use of the Radlink software will provide more accurate acetabular cup position when compared with surgeon estimates based on visual inspection of fluoroscopic images.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Control
Intraoperative fluoroscopy of the hip is used to visually estimate the acetabular cup angle and make any necessary adjustments.
Experimental: Radlink Surgical Positioning System
Fluoroscopic image of the hip joint is imported into the Radlink Surgical Positioning software. The software calculates a target cup position using bony landmarks, and the surgeon matches the cup to the target.
