NaviFast 6D for Limb Length Measurement During Total Hip Arthroplasty

Краткое описание

This multicenter clinical investigation evaluated the NaviFast 6D orthopedic miniature measuring arm during total hip arthroplasty. NaviFast 6D is an intraoperative measuring device intended to help orthopedic surgeons assess changes in lower limb length and hip offset during surgery. The study was conducted in adult patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty. It included two phases. In the first phase, the device was used to verify functionality, usability, and measurement accuracy without influencing surgical decisions. In the second phase, surgeons could use the intraoperative measurements provided by NaviFast 6D when selecting trial and final implant components. The main objectives were to compare NaviFast 6D measurements with radiographic measurements of limb length change and to compare postoperative leg length discrepancy between patients treated with NaviFast 6D and a control group treated using conventional clinical assessment. The study also assessed the impact of device use on surgical time and recorded device-related and procedure-related safety events.
