1. HipAlign is a handheld navigation device that was commercially launched for direct anterior total hip replacement in early 2018.
2. HipAlign is designed to act as a surgical GPS and uses micro-electromechanical sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes to guide hip replacement surgery.
3. It does not require a preoperative CT scan. Surgeons collect anatomic data intraoperatively with HipAlign.
