HipCheck
Overview
HipCheck by Stryker is an intraoperative planning and execution platform designed for orthopaedic surgeons specializing in hip arthroscopy and sports medicine. Operating in surgical environments, the system functions as an interactive, sterile-field tablet that integrates directly into existing operating room workflows to assist in treating femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).
The platform is designed to improve procedural precision during femoroplasty by calculating real-time intraoperative measurements of bone deformities. Key capabilities of the system include:
- Intraoperative Resection Planning: Allows surgeons to measure and resect cam lesions to a target alpha angle using fluoroscopic imaging.
- Resection Checklist: Helps ensure the full three-dimensional volume of a cam lesion is addressed using two-dimensional intraoperative imagery.
- Side-by-Side Case Review: Enables immediate comparison of pre-resection and post-resection fluoroscopy to verify the execution of the surgical plan.
- Preoperative Integration: Works in tandem with HipMap, a companion preoperative planning tool that generates patient-specific 3D representations, heat maps, and version measurements of the hip joint.

- Patient education and communication regarding hip pathology
What Physicians Need to Know
Leverage HipMap's detailed 3D pre-operative planning for patient-specific insights into cam and pincer pathology, which can inform portal placement and resection strategy. Utilize HipCheck's real-time intraoperative feedback and post-resection comparison images to ensure accurate cam lesion removal and achieve the desired alpha angle, aiming to minimize residual impingement and potential revision surgeries. The system's ability to limit continuous fluoroscopy can also help reduce radiation exposure. Integrate the use of HipCheck with the Pivot Guardian Distraction System for a comprehensive approach to hip arthroscopy, addressing both precise resection and patient positioning to mitigate complications.
HipCheck is a core component of Stryker's 'advanced surgical experience' platform for hip arthroscopy, working in tandem with HipMap for pre-operative 3D planning and the Pivot Guardian Distraction System for patient positioning and complication mitigation. It also integrates with the 1688 Advanced Imaging Modalities (AIM) 4K Visualization Platform and the Connected OR Hub, providing enhanced visualization, seamless data management, and improved OR workflow through device connectivity and customizable surgeon profiles.

What the Web Says
Stryker's HipCheck system is an intra-operative tool designed to enhance hip arthroscopy, particularly for treating Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAIS). It provides real-time feedback to surgeons, allowing for precise measurement and resection of cam lesions to achieve the desired alpha angle. The system integrates with existing operating room workflows and works in conjunction with the HipMap system for pre-operative 3D planning.
Overall: PositiveStrengths
- Real-time intra-operative feedback for precise cam lesion resection.
- Enhanced visualization in the operating room.
- Patient-specific targeting and addressing of cam pathology.
- Reproducible approach to femoroplasty with pre- and post-resection fluoroscopy comparison.
- Integrates into existing OR workflow.
- Aids in reducing re-operation rates due to insufficient resection.
Limitations
- No specific cons were found in the provided search results from physicians, healthcare IT, tech reviewers, Reddit, G2, or Capterra regarding the Stryker HipCheck system. The Reddit discussions about 'hip checks' primarily refer to a maneuver in hockey and not the medical device.
