Abstract
Limb-length restoration and maintenance during THR is the result of careful preoperative assessment and planning. Intraoperative objective measurement of limb length is critical to avoid over-lengthening. Stability of the reconstructed hip is the result of a combination of proper implant position, proper soft-tissue tension, component design, and patient education.
