Background: Role of MAKOplasty software in determining femoral neck version, distal-femoral resection angle, tibial axis difference, distal-femoral rotation, medial/lateral tibial slope, and tibial tubercle alignment has yet to be fully explored.

Methods: Preoperative CT scans and plain films of 99 patients were obtained for each patient according to predetermined MAKO-protocol by four observers. Reliability analyses (Cronbach's Alpha-test) was performed to determine agreement between raters for angle measures.

Results: Anatomic measurements were similar to previously published literature, and cronbachs'alpha analysis demonstrated agreement amidst all observers.

Conclusion: MAKOplasty software produces similar results to anatomic measurements in planning for TKA with good reproducibility.

Background: Preoperative total hip arthroplasty templating can be performed with radiographs using acetate prints, digital viewing software, or with computed tomography (CT) images. Our hypothesis is that 3D templating is more precise and accurate with cup size prediction as compared to 2D templating with acetate prints and digital templating software.

Methods: Data collected from 45 patients undergoing robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty compared cup sizes templated on acetate prints and OrthoView software to MAKOplasty software that uses CT scan.
