OBJECTIVE: To investigate the accuracy of preoperative digital-template planning in total hip arthroplasty (THA) via direct anterior approach (DAA) and its effect on the short-term effectiveness. METHODS: >0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, frequencies of intraoperative fluoroscopy, and complications were recorded. Otherwise, the consistency rate of preoperative planning and practical prosthesis size was analyzed. Position of acetabular prosthesis and femoral prosthesis alignment were measured on anteroposterior X-ray film of the pelvis at 3 months after operation. HHS was used to evaluate clinical function. RESULTS: =0.26). CONCLUSION: Preoperative digital-template planning in THA via DAA is accurate, which can reduce the operation time and frequencies of intraoperative fluoroscopy without enhancing the risk of complication.
