ab: Summary: Preoperative templating in Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a method
    to estimate the optimal size and the best position of the implant.
    Today, observational (manual) size recognition techniques are still
    used to find a suitable implant for the patient. Therefore, a digital
    and automated technique should be developed so that the implant size
    recognition process can be effectively implemented. For this purpose,
    we have introduced the new technique for acetabular implant size
    recognition in THR preoperative planning based on the diameter of
    acetabulum size. This technique enables the surgeon to recognise a
    digital acetabular implant size automatically based on the two points
    selected on the patient’s acetabulum. Based on the testing result,
    the average time taken for the acetabular implant templating process in
    preoperative planning using a new automated technique was much less
    than using the digital line distance method.
