EOS imaging received FDA 510(k) clearance for its hipEOS 3.0 surgical planning software.
Here are three things to know:
1. The hipEOS 3.0 for total hip arthroplasty is part of the EOSapps suite of online 3D surgical planning solutions, which includes spineEOS, hipEOS and kneeEOS.
2. hipEOS 3.0 is designed to simulate the patient's hip range of motion based on EOS functional standing and seated exams, allowing for visualization to anticipate impingement and dislocation risks based on the implant components' position.
3. The software offers an initial plan for the size and position of the implant components based on the patient's 3D data and anatomy. Providers can adjust the plan and will receive immediate feedback on how changes affect relevant clinical parameters. With the patient-specific data from full body, weight-bearing 2D/3D EOS images, hipEOS can be used to anticipate surgical outcomes including leg length discrepancies, femoral offset and torsion in addition to hip mobility.
