Pelvic flexion/extension and its impact on functional acetabular alignment and stability following total hip replacement

ConclusionsThe different patterns of PFE during daily activities could affect acetabular alignment and stability following THA. We propose a classification system that can identify different types of PFE and predict their effects on the stability of prostheses following THA. Hence, we believe that patients with unfavorable PFE may require modified cup alignment.
