Create a Case in Hip Orientation - Manual using Circle
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is a common surgery to relieve pain and improve mobility in patients with hip joint issues. Occasionally, a THA case may need to be deleted or canceled due to medical, logistical, or patient-related reasons, ensuring patient safety and proper resource management.
Steps to Create a Case in Hip Orientation Manual Calibration using Circle
Step-1: Access the Login Page
Click here to redirect on Login page. Enter your Credentials and Click on Login.
Step-2: Select Total Hip Arthroplasty and Hip Orientation
From the Dashboard, navigate to Total Hip Arthroplasty and select the Hip Implant Orientation option to proceed with creating a new case.
Step-3: Click on ‘Create New Mortho Hip Orientation’
Click on the Create New Mortho Hip Orientation button to access the page where all Geometric entities for case creation are displayed.
Step-4: Upload X-ray Image for Calibration
On the Create New Mortho Hip Orientation page, click the Folder icon to upload the necessary X-ray image for calibration and analysis…
Step-5: Start Calibration with Circle Tool
To start the Calibration, click on the Circle icon, place three dots on the image where needed, and press Enter to confirm the circle placement…
Step-6: Set Marker Size and Confirm
Input the Marker Size. Once the marker size is set, click the Accept button.
Step-7: Zoom In and Fine-Tune Calibration
After confirming the marker size, the Conversion Factor will be automatically calculated and displayed. You can Zoom in on the image by clicking with the Mouse and place a dot at any location on the image for precise calibration.
Step-8: Draw Circle and Adjust Size
Press Enter to create a circle around the marker. You can resize the circle using “W” to increase and “E” to decrease its size, ensuring accuracy in placement.
Step-9: Create Line for Inclination Angle
After resizing, press Enter again to draw a Line inside the circle. Use the Up Arrow Key or Down Arrow Key to fine-tune the Inclination Angle of the line for optimal calibration.
Step-10: Generate Ellipse and Adjust Anteversion Angle
Press Enter again to create an Ellipse within the circle. Adjust the Anteversion Angle of the ellipse by pressing “W” to widen it or “E” to narrow it, ensuring proper orientation.
Step-11: Place Dots Around Pelvis for Alignment
Place Dots Around Pelvis for Alignment
Place two Dots around the Pelvis area for further analysis, and press Enter to generate a full-length line. This line serves as a reference for measuring alignment.
Step-12: Place Dots Around Femur for Leg Length Comparison
Similarly, place two more Dots around the Femur region, and press Enter to create connecting lines. These lines join the Pelvis line, helping to calculate the Leg Length Difference for comparison and analysis.
Step-13: Save the Case for Future Reference
After all calibrations and adjustments are completed, click on the Save button to store the case. It will then be added to the Grid for future reference and analysis.
The method ensures a more accurate and tailored treatment plan, leading to improved long-term outcomes in hip health and function. By employing this approach, clinicians can better understand and address the underlying issues of hip misalignment, enhancing mobility and reducing discomfort for patients.
