APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A POSITION OF A HIP PROSTHESIS IN A BONE OF A PATIENT

An apparatus, system, and method for determining a position of a hip prosthesis in a bone of a patient includes determining a set of contact points between a femoral head of a femoral prosthesis and a cup liner of an acetabular cup to be implanted into a patient based on a mechanics model. The mecha...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus, system, and method for determining a position of a hip prosthesis in a bone of a patient includes determining a set of contact points between a femoral head of a femoral prosthesis and a cup liner of an acetabular cup to be implanted into a patient based on a mechanics model. The mechanics model is indicative of mechanical motion of a hip exhibited during performance of a set of ADL or at corresponding functional positions of the patient. In some embodiments, a mathematical model may be generated based on a plurality of sets of contact points determined using the mechanics model and subsequently used to determine a resultant set of contact points.
