Total hip replacement
Brief summary
This is a prospective, randomized study of total hip arthroplasty with and without the use of Radlink surgical positioning software. The investigators are interested in discovering whether the use of the Radlink software will provide more accurate acetabular cup position when compared with surgeon estimates based on visual inspection of fluoroscopic images.
