Plain radiography findings to predict dislocation after total hip arthroplasty

ConclusionsPatients with soft tissue imbalance, across joint deformity around hips and bilateral pathological hips seem more predisposed to suffer from dislocation after THA. Appropriate surgical intervention strategies along with meticulously postoperative management may help preventing dislocation after THA.The translational potential of this articleA better understanding of the probable causes of dislocation after THA proposed a new clinical application of plain radiography. This radiography-related clinical research may reveal the novel mechanism of dislocation after THA and new preventive measures.
