Motion Analyses – How It Can Improve Your Ability To Plan Surgical Intervention

Description

In this presentation, Giles Stafford discusses the implementation and evolution of motion analysis in hip arthroscopy, detailing its historical context and his personal experience with the technology. He explains how motion analysis originated from research on shoulder motion by Peter Krekel, who pivoted the focus to hip assessment, leading to the establishment of Clinical Graphics in 2010, later acquired by Zimmer Biomet. Giles elaborates on the technical aspects of motion analysis, describing how it provides precise imaging via CT scans to diagnose issues like femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). He presents the functionality of two main motion analysis systems available in the UK: Clinical Graphics and the newer HipMap by Stryker, comparing their features and diagnostic outputs. The presentation highlights the tools' ability to create 3D reconstructions and provide preoperative planning solutions, stressing the importance of accurate bone resection to mitigate risks of revision procedures. Furthermore, Giles introduces 'HipCheck', an innovative intra-operative feedback system by Stryker that enhances surgical precision and includes post-operative reporting for improved accountability. He concludes by asserting the transformative potential of these technologies in orthopedic practices.
