The Feasibility and Application of Intraoperative Ultrasound to Evaluate Femoral Head Shaping

The Feasibility and Application of Intraoperative Ultrasound to Evaluate Femoral Head Shaping

To assess the feasibility of using intraoperative ultrasound to evaluate the femoral head formation; to evaluate the improvement of the forming effect using the intraoperative ultrasound combined with c-arm.

Ultrasound can provide a multi-directional scan of the femoral head and neck junction, and the range of evaluation is larger than that of the intraoperative c-arm. The study was to assess the feasibility of using intraoperative ultrasound to evaluate the femoral head formation; to evaluate the forming of the femoral head and the improvement of the forming effect using the intraoperative ultrasound combined with c-arm.
