Cup positioning in THA: current status and pitfalls. A systematic evaluation of the literature

The correct determination of cup orientation in THA regarding the intraoperative as well as the postoperative assessment due to the pelvic tilt and rotation with inexact incorporation of the pelvis is uncertain. The anterior pelvic plane (APP) seems to be the most reliable reference frame and computer-assisted navigation systems seem to provide the best tool for correct implantation to date. For the intraoperative assessment of the APP, the exact determination of the bony landmarks is mandatory. For the standard plain radiography, standardized positioning of the patient and approximation of pelvic tilt by a lateral view are mandatory. An additional CT must be carried out for certain indications. More emphasis has to be given to the individuality of pelvic tilt and range of motion.
