Dr. Calendine discusses the rewards of sharing advanced hip and knee surgery technology around the world, caring for his patients at the Bone & Joint Institute of Tennessee and, of course, spending time with his family in Franklin. Dr. Calendine and his team are dedicated to providing patients in the Nashville region with comprehensive, cutting-edge hip & knee treatment options.
SCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENTHip capsular ligaments - including the iliofemoral, ischiofemoral, and pubofemoral ligaments, along with the zona orbicularis - play crucial roles in hip joint stability during total hip replacement surgery. During the procedure, surgeons must carefully balance accessing the joint through capsulotomy while preserving ligament function for post-operative stability. Research shows that proper implant sizing, positioning, and capsular repair can significantly impact dislocation rates and long-term joint function. Understanding how these ligaments are affected during hip replacement helps patients better prepare for surgery and recovery, as preserved capsular ligaments contribute to natural joint mechanics, proprioception, and overall surgical success.
Read More3D planning technology has transformed hip replacement surgery by delivering unprecedented precision in implant sizing and positioning, with accuracy rates of 34-100% for component selection and positioning within 1-2mm of optimal targets. Unlike traditional 2D X-ray planning that relied on educated guessing, modern 3D systems use CT scans and specialized software to create detailed anatomical models, allowing surgeons to virtually rehearse procedures and detect potential problems before surgery. This advanced planning approach results in shorter surgery times, better functional outcomes, reduced complications, and faster patient recovery, while also proving cost-effective through decreased revision rates and improved hospital efficiency. Patients considering hip replacement should ask their surgeons about 3D planning capabilities, as this technology is rapidly becoming the standard of care for achieving optimal surgical outcomes and long-term implant success.
