Restoration of hip biomechanics is a crucial component of successful total hip replacement. Preoperative templating is recommended to ensure that the size and orientation of implants is optimised. We studied how closely natural femoral offset could be reproduced using the manufacturers' templates for 10 femoral stems in common use in the UK. A series of 23 consecutive preoperative radiographs from patients who had undergone unilateral total hip replacement for unilateral osteoarthritis of the hip was employed. The change in offset between the templated position of the best-fitting template and the anatomical centre of the hip was measured. The templates were then ranked according to their ability to reproduce the normal anatomical offset. The most accurate was the CPS-Plus (Root Mean Square Error 2.0 mm) followed in rank order by: C stem (2.16), CPT (2.40), Exeter (3.23), Stanmore (3.28), Charnley (3.65), Corail (3.72), ABG II (4.30), Furlong HAC (5.08) and Furlong modular (7.14). A similar pattern of results was achieved when the standard error of variability of offset was analysed. We observed a wide variation in the ability of the femoral prosthesis templates to reproduce normal femoral offset. This variation was independent of the seniority of the observer. The templates of modern polished tapered stems with high modularity were best able to reproduce femoral offset. The current move towards digitisation of X-rays may offer manufacturers an opportunity to improve template designs in certain instances, and to develop appropriate computer software.

We study the optical response of a double optomechanical cavity system assisted by two Rydberg atoms. The target atom is only coupled with one side cavity by a single cavity mode, and gate one is outside the cavities. It has been realized that a long-range manipulation of optical properties of a hybrid system, by controlling the Rydberg atom decoupled with the optomechanical cavity. Switching on the coupling between atoms and cavity mode, the original spatial inversion symmetry of the double cavity structure has been broken. Combining the controllable optical non-reciprocity with the coherent perfect absorption/transmission/synthesis effect (CPA/CPT/CPS reported by [ X.-B.Yan Opt. Express 22, 4886 (2014)], we put forward the theoretical schemes of an all-optical transistor which contains functions such as a controllable diode, rectifier, and amplifier by controlling a single gate photon.
