Templating implants prior to total hip replacement (THR) surgery is important to ensure precision, soft tissue balance, and reduced complications. It requires standard radiographic views to assess bone quality, structural integrity, and limb length discrepancy. The sequence is to first template the acetabulum considering factors like inclination, version and bone coverage, then template the femur assessing offsets, stem size and fit. Choosing the appropriate acetabular and femoral components also considers factors like fixation type, material, and design features to optimize function and reduce issues like impingement, wear and dislocation.
