Zusammenfassung:Systems, apparatus and methods are described to measure femoral version or other femoral information to provide clinically relevant information for total or partial hip arthroplasty. Anatomical measurements such as a femoral (shaft) axis and native femoral version may be provided from a planning system to a navigational system configured to track relative positions of a femur and pelvis during a procedure. A tracking element location may be defined (in the planning system or the surgical navigation system such as from 3D surface information received from the planning system). An invariable relationship between the tracking element location and the femoral axis may be leveraged to measure femoral information including post-procedure.
