Computed tomography of humeral head cup arthroplasties. A preliminary report.
Computed tomography (CT) was employed to evaluate resurfacing metal cup arthroplasties, in shoulders affected by rheumatoid arthritis. Reconstruction of the information obtained, with the high frequency filter, resulted in an image of the cement and skeletal structures inside the cup. This new application of CT may prove valuable in assessing the complications and results of cup arthroplasties.
