THINK Surgical (Fremont, CA) won clearance for its TSolution One Surgical System for performing total hip arthroplasties. The system relies on pre-operative CT scans and consists of the TPLAN surgical planning application and the TCAT computer guided mill that prepares the bone cavity and joint surface.

The TPLAN software provides 3D tools to analyze and set parameters for milling the bones, helps in selecting the optimal implant, and helps define the best placement and alignment for the implant.

During the operation, the TCAT drill is used to prepare bone with sub-millimeter accuracy according to the developed plan. This way the system permits the creation of multiple plans, selecting an optimal course of action, all without expanding extra surgical time and hopefully leading to optimal results.
