Cup oversizing as a risk factor for postoperative groin pain in Total Hip Arthroplasty : a retrospective analysis of 437 hips

摘要

The majority of patients are pain free after total hip replacement, but some experience anterior hip pain due to iliopsoas impingement. There is evidence that a prominent or malpositioned cup may cause iliopsoas tendonitis. The purpose of this study was to determine whether oversizing the cup is a risk factor for postoperative groin pain.
