Abstract Abstract
Total hip Arthroplasty (THA) is an advanced surgical modality, which reduces hip pain resulting from destruction or degenerative change. THA may be associated with complications, such as instability. Instability is the second common reason for revision surgery. The etiology of instability can be factors like prosthetic malposition, impingement, and low soft tissue tension around the hip and also polyethylene wear. In this paper, we will review the common causes of instability following THA in various phases, and suggest the strategies to prevent instability following THA.
