Synopsis

Sixty-four patients scheduled for a total hip arthroplasty via a posterolateral approach were randomized to receive conventional mechanical alignment guided acetabular component positioning with smartphone-assistance to function as a pelvic tilt goniometer to assess pelvic motion (n=32), or sole conventional mechanical alignment guided acetabular component positioning (n=32). The primary outcome o...
