Device acetabular cup orientation system
Regulation Description Hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis.
Definition The acetabular cup orientation system is intended to be used as a surgical instrument to assist in the intra-operative orientation of acetabular cup components used with total hip arthroplasty. The device utilizes anatomic landmarks of the pelvis that are clearly identifiable on pre-operative imaging scans.
Physical State A patient-matched acetabular guide, made of polymeric material and with a patient-matched surface that is congruent to the mating acetabular surface. May be manufactured through an additive manufacturing process.
Technical Method The device consists of a software component that generates a pre-operative plan based on the medical imaging data and a hardware component, the patient-matched guide that is positioned onto/within the acetabulum by mating the patient-specific contact surface to its corresponding anatomical surface. The guide is used to place an alignment pin at/near the acetabular rim in a pre-operatively desired orientation. The alignment pin is used as a visual reference to assist in the intra-operative orientation of the acetabular component during THA, so the surgeon may visually ensure that the orientation of the alignment pin matches the normal direction of the acetabular component.
