To participate in a panel discussion, provide my opinions and share nearly 10 years clinical experience in the use of intra-operative x-ray imaging of the THR procedure to:
1. Improve initial patient positioning and make adjustments of the pelvis position during the THR procedure;
2. Improve acetabular and femoral bone preparation techniques including femoral broach size selection and broach alignment in the frontal and sagittal planes;
3. Optimize both acetabular and femoral implant size and implant position;
4. Complement THR surgeon training through intraoperative observation; and
5. Transference of confidence to the THR surgeon

The overarching goals of intraoperative x-ray imaging of THR is to reduce both intraoperative and short-term post-operative complications and improve total hip replacement outcomes.
