Our results suggest enhanced planning that considers pelvic tilt, when coupled to a precision tool to achieve the plan, can reliably achieve target standing component positions. Considering preoperative functional pelvic position may improve postoperative functional acetabular component placement in THA, but the clinical benefit of this has yet to be confirmed.
