Hip Abduction Can Be Considered the Sole Posterior Precaution Strategy to Lower the Rate of Impingement After Posterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty With Large Femoral Head: A Computer Simulation Study.

With modern primary total hip arthroplasty stems (low neck diameter) and an overall acceptable cup anteversion angle, small degrees of hip abduction may be the only posterior hip precaution strategy required to lower the risk of dislocation among patients. Future studies can potentially investigate the concept of personalized hip precautions based on preoperative computer simulations, utilized implants, hip-spine relations, and final implant orientation.
