BACKGROUND: Templating is a preoperative planning procedure that improves the efficiency of the surgical process and reduces postoperative complications of total hip arthroplasty (THA) by improving the precision of prediction of prosthetic implant size. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the preoperative cup and stem size digital 2D templating of THA with mediCAD software and find the factors that influence the accuracy, such as indication for surgery, patients' demographics, implant brand, and the assessors' grade of education. METHODS: We retrospectively retrieved 420 patient template images of all patients who underwent THA between March 2018 and March 2021. Templating of all included images was processed using mediCAD software a day before surgery by a newcomer physician to hip arthroplasty course (PGY-2 orthopedic resident or hip surgery fellow). Preoperative templating cup and stem sizes were compared with the actual inserted implant sizes. RESULT: After excluding ineligible patients, this study included 391 patients, 193 (49.4%) males and 198 (50.6%) females with a mean age of 43.3 ± 14.9. The average cup sizes predicted before and after surgery were 52.12 ± 14.28 and 52.21 ± 15.05 respectively, and the mean delta cup size (before and after surgery) was 2.79 ± 2.94. The delta stem size before and after surgery has a mean value of 1.53 ± 1.49. The acetabular cup components, measured within ± 0, ± 1, and ± 2 sizes, were 28.9%, 63.9%, 83.1% accurate, respectively. The femoral stem design component measured within ± 0, ± 1, and ± 2 sizes were 27.2%, 61.0%, 78.6% accurate, respectively. Wagner Cone stem brand, DDH patients, and females showed significantly higher accuracy of stem size templating. Revision THA has the lowest accuracy in terms of cup size templating. The compression of accuracy rate between resident and fellow revealed no significant differences. Also, no significant difference was detected between the accuracy of templating performed in the first months with the second months of the arthroplasty course period. CONCLUSION: Our study showed that under mentioned condition, templating using mediCAD has acceptable accuracy in predicting the sizes of femoral and acetabular components in THA patients. Digital software like mediCAD remains favorable because of the short learning curve, user-friendly features, and low-cost maintenance, leading to level-up patient care and THA efficacy. Further studies are necessary for clarifying the role of the assessor's experience and expertise in THA preoperative templating. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III (retrospective observational study).
