Introduction

Migration of the trial femoral head is a rarely occurring complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed using the anterolateral approach (ALA). This migration of the trial femoral head under the rectus femoris is extremely risky because of the anatomical situation. Analyzing the morphological character of a case of migration may help us to avoid this risk.

Objective

We analyzed the three-dimensional bone morphology using computed tomography (CT) scan images to investigate the physiological characteristics of five migration cases.
