Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Fluoroscopy provides a fast and reproducible method for evaluating the tilt of the acetabular cup after total hip replacement.
The degree of anterior or posterior tilt of the acetabular cup can be established using fluoroscopy in patients with total hip prostheses. Since the technique is fast, painless, and requires minimal cooperation, it can be performed immediately following surgery. This method is suitable for postoperative evaluation of patients with total hip replacement and is also reproducible for serial analysis.
