Digital preoperative templating is increasingly used to predict the correct component size in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Experienced surgeons could avoid the new technique and rely on a digital template done by a younger colleague. We compared the accuracy of preoperative templating between orthopedic residents (group A) and an experienced orthopedic surgeon (group B). In 106 cases, the software-predicted component sizes of both groups were compared with component sizes placed surgically. An…

The accuracy of digital templating: a comparison of short-stem total hip arthroplasty and conventional total hip arthroplasty
TLDR
Digital templating of SHA can predict the stem sizes as accurately as conventional THA and is recommendable for SHA, as it helps to predict the implant size prior to surgery and thereby might help to avoid complications.
A Novel Digital Templating Methodology for Arthroplasty: Experience from Patients with Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head
TLDR
Pre-Operative digital templating was useful in predicting cup and stem sizes in patients with ONFH and Radiographic signs of femoral rotation or osteoporotic changes call for appropriate adjustment to improve the accuracy of Templating for THA.
Effects of surgeon experience and patient characteristics on accuracy of digital pre-operative planning in total hip arthroplasty
TLDR
The fellow-trained group showed better pre-operative planning of complex cases (developmental dysplasia of the hip and avascular necrosis of femoral head) than the resident’s group, and in complex cases, fellow- trained surgeons should assist residents in digitalPre-operative digital templating for THA.
Digital templating in total hip arthroplasty using contralateral healthy hip results in decreased accuracy.
TLDR
Templating acetabular cup size using the ipsilateral diseased hip is more accurate than using the contralateral healthy hip in patients with unilateral OA.

Templating Hip Arthroplasty
TLDR
It is suggested that preoperative templating is resulting in an enormous increase in the accuracy of total hip arthroplasty and among various methods, King Mark is the most reliable method.

The accuracy and inter-observer reliability of acetate templating in total hip arthroplasty
TLDR
It is concluded that acetate templating on hard copy X-rays is beneficial to surgeons to gauge acetabular cup and femoral stem size to within one size range and helps in predicting nearly exact femoral offset size.
Digital templating without a calibration marker is accurate at predicting implant size for hip hemiarthroplasty
TLDR
Digital templating of radiographs without calibration can be used to accurately and reliably predict femoral head size and offset at a set magnification of 120%.
The accuracy and reliability of preoperative digital 2D templating in prosthesis size prediction in uncemented versus cemented total hip arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TLDR
The accuracy of preoperative digital templating in prosthesis size prediction for the planning of cemented or uncemented THA is greater for cemented prostheses, but the inter-observer reliability is greatest for uncements, and the intra-ob server reliability showed a high level of agreement for unCEmented prostheses.
