Our Safran Hip Service provides 3D imaging focusing on the bony morphology of the hips, specifically tailored for Dr. Safran's diagnostic interests. This service highlights critical aspects of hip structure, including potential impingement at the femoral head/neck junction, femoral head/acetabular rim, the presence of loose bony bodies within the hip joint, and cases of over-coverage by the acetabulum.

Our imaging approach emphasizes structural integrity and potential sources of discomfort or mobility issues. We use standard 3D reconstructions along with coronal and sagittal multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) batches. These imaging techniques allow for precise visualization of the hip anatomy, aiding Dr. Safran in assessing impingement, loose bodies, and over-coverage with exceptional detail.

By focusing on these specific structural aspects, the Safran Hip Service may support targeted diagnostic assessments and enabling tailored treatment plans.

Patient-specific 3D bone models of new medical technology can provide breakthrough support in the diagnosis, treatment, and education of orthopedic diseases in the field of hip joints.
