Patients with neuromuscular imbalance who require
total hip arthroplasty (THA) present particular technical problems
due to altered anatomy, abnormal bone stock, muscular imbalance
and problems of rehabilitation. In this systematic review, we studied articles dealing with THA
in patients with neuromuscular imbalance, published before April
2017. We recorded the demographics of the patients and the type
of neuromuscular pathology, the indication for surgery, surgical
approach, concomitant soft-tissue releases, the type of implant
and bearing, pain and functional outcome as well as complications
and survival. Recent advances in THA technology allow for successful outcomes
in these patients. Our review suggests excellent benefits for pain
relief and good functional outcome might be expected with a modest
risk of complication. Cite this article:

Hip resurfacing is being performed more frequently in the United Kingdom. The possible benefits include more accurate restoration of leg length, femoral offset and femoral anteversion than occurs after
Three-dimensional surface models of the normal hemipelvis derived from volumetric CT data on 42 patients were used to determine the radius, depth and orientation of the native acetabulum. A sphere fitted to the lunate surface and a plane matched to the acetabular rim were used to calculate the radius, depth and anatomical orientation of the acetabulum. For the 22 females the mean acetabular abduction, anteversion, radius and normalised depth were 57.1° (50.7° to 66.8°), 24.1° (14.0° to 33.3°), 25 mm (21.7 to 30.3) and 0.79 mm (0.56 to 1.04), respectively. The same parameters for the 20 males were 55.5° (47.7° to 65.9°), 19.3° (8.5° to 32.3°), 26.7 mm (24.5 to 28.7) and 0.85 mm (0.65 to 0.99), respectively. The orientation of the native acetabulum did not match the safe zone for acetabular component placement described by Lewinnek. During
