Impact of spinal alignment and stiffness on impingement after total hip arthroplasty: a radiographic study of pre- and post-operative spinopelvic alignment

ConclusionOur results suggest that a flatback with a rigid spine leads to posterior impingement, and a well-balanced spine leads to anterior impingement, which can be a potential risk factor for dislocation.
