The intraoperative use of a calliper predicts leg length and offset after total hip arthroplasty. Component subsidence influences the leg length

Abstract Background The purpose of total hip arthroplasty (THA) post-surgery and proper physiotherapy is positive recovery for the patient. Consideration is given to hip replacement biomechanics by ensuring no discrepancies in limb length (LL) and a stable prosthesis. Therefore, the patient must hav...
