Title / Titel	Highly reproducible detection of implant migration in orthopedic surgery
PDF	Abstract (PDF, 14 KB)
Summary / Zusammenfassung	Migration is an early sign of implant loosening. It can not reliable be detected based on standard radiographs because there are differences in patient positioning and radiographic techniques. Analysis-by-synthesis overcomes this problem. After extensive lab tests the system is currently applied to a series of patients.
