1/ Assessment of the patient generally.
• -Age.
• - Functional demands and occupation..
• -Weight and BMI.(morbid obesity is a relative contraindication)
• -Any cardiopulmonary and other serious medical illnesses.
• -Can the patient withstand such a major operation?
• -What is /are the chief complaint? :
• - Is pain severity necessitate arthroplasty?
• -Is it genuine hip pain? Or it is referred.
• - Replacement should not be done for painless LLD.
• - Replacement should not be done for painless limited

These imagings are important for:
• 1/Cup size.
• 2/Cup orientation.
• 3/Stem size.
• 4/Stem neck-shaft angle( S or H or Special stem).
• 5/Neck length.
• 6/Level of osteotomy.
• 7/What limb length would be gained?
• 8/Offsets(acetabular+femoral)
• 9/Stem type(Cemented ,Cementless or Calcalr
replacing and tumour prosthesis).
These results will affect:
• 1/Limb length.
• 2/Center of rotation.
• 3/ The medial offset.
Four-step approach for hip templating

D/CHOICE AND POSITIONING OF THE
IMPLANTS
• -First step, the cup is chosen as follows:
• 1/restore the original acetabular rotation centre.
• 2/The template of the acetabular component is
positioned with an abduction angle of 40°to 45°
between the longest axis of the cup and the
interteardrop line.
• 3/insertion depth is compared to the medial
acetabular wall.
• 4/ the insertion height compared to the inferior
border of the teardrop and the cup containment or
overhang compared to the lateral border of the
acetabular roof .
