Abstract

The occurrence of pain following a technically satisfactory cemented total hip arthroplasty is of concern for both the orthopedic surgeon and the patient. In order that the source of the pain be accurately located, a scientific approach is required. We present an algorithm for the evaluation of pain following an apparently satisfactory hip arthroplasty which, if followed, results in the correct diagnosis.
