The ACO Hip Guide System is used to provide 3D surgical planning software and patient-specific surgical guides for hip surgery by Belgian innovators, Materialise. The company will now be joined in a project to implement the hip solution by Consensus Orthopedics following their adoption of a version for knee surgeries earlier this year. The system allows surgeons to plan hip surgeries based on a patient's unique anatomical requirements. Pre-operative plans use patient-specific guides which are designed, and 3D printed, for those specific surgical interventions.
