Effect of longer femoral head on leg length, offset, and range of motion in total hip arthroplasty: a simulation study

Abstract In this study, we investigated the relationship between head length, leg length, offset, and dislocation resistance using range of motion (ROM) simulations based on computed tomography data to examine if a longer femoral head reduces the risk of dislocation. The femoral components were set...
