We studied 105 patients who received a total hip arthroplasty between June 1985 and August 2001 using freehand positioning of the acetabular cup. Using pelvic CT scan and the hip-plan module of SurgiGATE-System (Medivision, Oberdorf, Switzerland), we measured the angles of inclination and anteversion of the cup. Mean inclination angle was 45.8 degrees +/-10.1 degrees (range: 23.0-71.5 degrees ) and mean anteversion angle was 27.3 degrees +/-15.0 degrees (range: -23.5 degrees to 59.0 degrees ). We compared the results to the "safe" position as defined by Lewinnek et al. and found that only 27/105 cups were implanted within the limits of the safe position. We conclude that a safe position as defined by Lewinnek et al. [13] was only achieved in a minority of the cups that were implanted freehand.
