What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Replacing diseased hip joints with prosthetic implants in a procedure called total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with high rates of patient satisfaction, pain relief, and functional improvement when the implant is appropriately placed. Incorrect implant size or placement may lead to a breadth of negative outcomes, which could result in the need for implant revision.
