What the study is about
The purpose of this research is to gather clinical and radiographic (X-ray) information about EMPHASYS™ acetabular shell (also called a hip 'cup') placement in total hip replacement surgery using a non-invasive surgical navigation system called VELYS™ hip navigation system with CUPTIMIZE™ Advanced Hip-Spine Analysis software.
Data collected in this study will be compared with data collected from implantations using different cup positioning instrumentation and techniques to assess performance.
Being studied: EMPHASYS Cup with VHN
Conditions: Osteoarthritis; Traumatic Arthritis; Rheumatoid Arthritis; Congential Hip Dysplasia; Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head; Certain Cases of Ankylosis
