Variability of pelvic axial rotation in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

CONCLUSIONS: It may be important to recognise whether a THA patient has a fixed pelvic axial rotational deformity, where 1 hip is consistently forward or backward in functional imaging. Fixed rotation will increase or decrease the functional anteversion of an acetabular component depending on THA side. Further research might better characterise associations and predictors of fixed axial rotation and its impact on patient outcomes after THA. PMID: 31830818 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
