Component Positioning - The key to a successful THR

A wide variety of options are currently available to reconstruct the hip. The important issue however is to choose the correct implant for the patient and situation to get the best results. The 3 most critical factors which influence the choice of implant are age, activity level and bone stock. In this website you will see a variety of implants that have been used to manage complex conditions of the hip in our unit.

Irrespective of the bearing that is used , the most important factor in getting an excellent and long lasting result is the angle of implant placement. The best angle of implant placement is denoted as the CAVA angle of 180 deg. This angle was described by Dr. Vijay C. Bose in the Paper published in the JBJS Br. 2010. To put it in simplistic terms there must be parallelism between the acetabular and femoral components in the A_P x-rays with the hips in the neutral position. You will find this parallelism in all the x-rays of the website . This will give a very functional and long lasting result following the hip reconstruction.
