    The study quantifies anatomical variability of the proximal femur to improve predictions of prosthetic femoral version in total hip arthroplasty.

  • 2

    A sex-specific statistical shape model was developed to analyze the internal and external geometry of the proximal femur pre- and post-operatively.

  • 3

    The study involved 62 patients, with a focus on the accuracy of femoral neck osteotomy using a patient-specific guide during surgery.

  • 4

    Significant variability in native femoral version and prosthetic femoral version was observed, impacting surgical outcomes in cementless THA.

  • 5

    The research highlights the need for improved tools to predict prosthetic femoral version based on the unique anatomy of each patient's femur.
