N2 - BACKGROUND: External calibration markers (ECM) are the standard of care for digital templating in joint replacements. Spherical mono markers are known to be unreliable. Fixed calibration factors (FCF) can reduce the overall error by placement of markers, but do not address individual patient anatomy. Dual scale calibration marker (DSCM) methods were developed to improve precision of calibration but require two markers. This prospective observational study is the first to analyse the application of a dual scale type single marker (DSSM) method in supine radiographs.METHODS: One hundred patients with unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) underwent anterior-posterior pelvis X-ray with ECM and DSSM. The femoral THA head components were used as internal reference (ICM). An empirical fixed calibration factor (FCF; 120%) was used as comparator. Absolute differences of ICM and both ECM and DSSM were calculated. Absolute relative deviations (ARD) were calculated.RESULTS: Mean absolute calibration factor differences of ECM, FCF and DSSM from ICM were 0.105 (0.002-0.182), 0.016 (0.082-0.013) and 0.011 (0.056-0.009), respectively. ARD differences between ECM and DSSM as well as FCF and DSSM were significant (p < 0.001).CONCLUSION: The DSSM method showed superior results over ECM and FCF to predict the optimal calibration factor in supine radiographs. The novel DSSM method could be used to improve digital templating in supine radiographs without need for additional markers.
