Templating is now the standard approach for preoperative planning of total joint replacement and fracture fixation. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of new software, TraumaCad (TM), for preoperative planning for total hip replacement. This software enables the import and export of all picture archiving communication system (PACS) files from local working stations. It can integrate with all PACS systems. We retrospectively reviewed TraumaCad (TM)-generated templates of digitalized preoperative radiographs of 73 consecutive patients. The acetabular component, measured within +/- 1 size, was accurate in 65 patients (89%), and the femoral stem design component was accurate in 70 patients (97%). The accuracy of the femoral size was predicted in 57 patients within 1 size (87%) and in 65 patients within 2 sizes (96%) out of 68 patients in the Corail femoral component group. TraumaCad (TM) successfully predicts the sizes of femoral and acetabular component and easily integrates with all PACS files.
