A T-shaped gauge and acetabular cup navigation system and acetabular cup
aligning method using the T-shaped gauge, which can measure anantomical
landmarks of the pelvis at the same time, calculate an anterior pelvic
plane from the measured value, calculate a transformed anterior pelvic
plane by converting the anterior pelvic plane in comparison with a pelvic
reference frame, and set a direction vector of an acetabular cup on the
transformed anterior pelvic plane, thereby exactly inserting the
acetabular cup into the acetabulum without regard to movement of the
pelvis.
