Summary
This study tests a portable ultrasound device that measures pelvic tilt, which is important for planning hip replacement surgery. Researchers will check how consistent the measurements are by repeating them on 3 healthy volunteers and then measure pelvic tilt in 30 patients before and after hip replacement. The goal is to see if the device works reliably in different positions and body types.
