Abstract
Dislocation represents, after aseptic loosening, the second most frequent complication [1] in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with an occurrence of 2–3% following a primary THA and 10% in revision arthroplasties [2]. Factors contributing to impingement and dislocation include soft tissue, bone components, orientation of the prosthesis, design of the implants [3].
