ABSTRACT:
We present our experience with the soft tissue balancing in total hip arthroplasty. Detailed indications, planning and surgical technique are presented. The described procedures are performed on 278 hips for a period of 6 years (2008-2014). We conclude that the outcome of a THA can be improved by balancing the stability, ROM, muscle strength and limb length equality.
Key words: THA, soft tissue balancing, selective muscle, release femoral offset, limb length equality,
