What this Trial Is About
The ADAPT system is a software that calculate a virtual 3D reconstruction of the femoral head without additional radiation. It automatically detects the used implant and its position relative to the femoral head, helping the surgeon to achieve an optimal proximal screw positioning in the femoral head. The investigators want to verify if with the addition of the ADAPT system the investigators can improve screw placement and reduce surgery time and radiation exposure.
