Abstract :
Computerized tomography scans were digitized to generate an anthropometric study on a revision hip arthroplasty population. Digitization of patient anatomy from CT images produced contours that can be numerically combined to produce an average curveset. The resulting measurements were used to develop and verify an anatomical orthopedic implant design
