Abstract

Anatomical reconstruction of the hip (restoration of the center of rotation, leg length and femoral offset) has been shown to produce improved abductor strength [1], decrease bearing surface wear [2] and is associated with better overall clinical function in patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA).
