Total Hip Replacement Procedure Solutions

Medtronic Navigation is committed to helping alleviate some of the challenges associated with total hip replacements, such as instability, leg length and offset discrepancies, and premature wearing. By choosing Medtronic as a partner, you can be assured that you are working with the technology leader with a diverse portfolio to meet your needs.

Medtronic Navigation's hip procedure solutions provide accurate, real-time data to help eliminate outliers by as much as 77%12. Mal-position of the hip implant has long been recognized as an important cause of dislocations, and our applications can help eliminate this - confirming that the implant is ideally placed. With just four landmarks and 10 minutes, you gain valuable real-time, intra-operative information:

  • Acetabular cup positioning for reaming and insertion
  • Leg length and offset - without the need for an additional incision or femoral reference frame
  • Patient pelvic tilt adjustment
  • Surgeon preferences for navigation features and implant manufacturer
  • Patient-specific anatomic models

Once the procedure is completed, you can leave feeling confident that you have provided the best patient care, increasing the likelihood of a successful recovery.

Our hip procedure solutions include applications specifically designed for total hip arthroplasties or hip resurfacing procedures (available outside the US). For more information, please contact us.
