Total hip replacement in Germany has been performed in 227293 cases in 2015 and tendency is increasing. Although it is a standard intervention, freehand positioning of cup protheses has frequently poor accuracy. Image-based and image-free navigation systems improve the accuracy but most of them provide target positions as alphanumeric values on large-size screens beneath the patient site. In this case the surgeon always has to move his head frequently to change his eye-focus between incision and display to capture the target values. Already published studies using e.g. IPod-based displays or LED ring displays, show the chance for improvement by alternative approaches. Therefore, we propose a novel solution for an instrument-mounted small display in order to visualise intuitive instructions for instrument guidance directly in the viewing area of the surgeon. For this purpose a solution consisting of a MicroView OLED display with integrated Arduino microcontroller, equipped with a Bluetooth interface as wel...
