Key result
Increasing neck length and a more distal position of the greater trochanter related favorably to patient function, whereas more superior placement of the prosthetic head related adversely.
Why the study?
Do roentgenographic measurements of prosthetic component positioning correlate with hip-muscle strength and mobility in patients with Müller total hip replacement?
Population
52 patients with Müller total hip replacement
Comparison
Roentgenographic measurements of prosthetic… vs Normal side

Positioning parameters correlate with post-THA function but should not yet change practice; leaves open causal effects for prospective trials.

Do roentgenographic measurements of prosthetic component positioning correlate with hip-muscle strength and mobility in patients with Müller total hip replacement?
Specific roentgenographic positioning parameters of the prosthetic components in total hip replacement correlate with functional outcomes like hip strength and mobility.
Gore et al. (1977) conducted a cross-sectional in Müller total hip replacement (n=52). Prosthetic component positioning vs. Normal side was evaluated on Correlation with hip-muscle strength and mobility measurements. Increasing neck length and a more distal position of the greater trochanter related favorably to patient function, whereas more superior placement of the prosthetic head related adversely.
