Abstract
Hip arthroplasty is one of the most common and successful orthopedic procedures performed
for the treatment of advanced osteoarthritis. Due to the high prevalence of these
implants within the population, complications related to hip arthroplasty are commonly
encountered by clinicians and radiologists alike. Knowledge of the diagnostic imaging
options available for evaluation of these implants, as well as of the expected range
of normal and pathologic findings following hip arthroplasty, is crucial in allowing
the radiologist to formulate an appropriate imaging strategy and accurately interpret
the subsequent imaging findings.
