Background: As operative techniques and implant design have evolved over time, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly being carried out for patients with neurological impairment. This patient group places unique surgical challenges to the arthroplasty surgeon, which may include contractures, instability, and altered muscular tone. The purpose of this systematic review is to report the patient outcomes, complications, and implant survival following THA for patients with neurological conditions affecting the hip. Thus, we aim to support orthopaedic surgeon decision-making when considering and planning THA for these patients.
Methods: A systematic review was performed as per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic …

Background: Achieving appropriate leg length after surgery remains a concern for surgeons performing total hip arthroplasty (THA). The focus of surgeons trying to equalize leg length has been primarily on positioning of the femoral implant. This study evaluates the impact of acetabular height on leg length and its impact on femoral component choices during THA.
Methods: We reviewed standing pelvic radiographs of 100 patients who underwent staged bilateral THA by a single surgeon from 2016 to 2019. Leg length discrepancies and acetabular heights were determined from preoperative and postoperative radiographs. The difference between the first and second operative hips was …
