Treatment of Hip Instability

Prosthetic instability after total hip arthroplasty is a multifactorial complication with both patient- and surgeon-related etiologies. A fundamental knowledge of potential causes and solutions allows for a comprehensive approach to identifying causative factors and leads to the formulation of the appropriate plan for resolution. This chapter will detail the etiologies of hip instability, the clinical evaluation of the complication, and surgical and nonsurgical treatments that can be used to resolve the problem.
