Introduction Nowadays, there is a higher incidence of younger and more active patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). In the Netherlands, between 17% and 19% of the patients receiving total hip arthroplasty are younger than 60 years

Introduction Despite the fact that total hip arthroplasty (THA) is commonly reported with successful results, instability remains a disappointing complication and one of the most common reasons for revision. Prevalence of instability has been

Introduction Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been described as “the operation of the 20th century” for the high satisfaction of the patients and the improvement of the quality of life following surgery. 1 More than 1 million THAs are

Introduction Long-term clinical outcomes and implant survivorship of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are dependent on the accurate restoration of hip and knee biomechanics and optimal position of implant
