    Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly common, yet some patients experience persistent hip pain post-surgery.

  • 2

    Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) affects 4–17% of THA patients, often due to tendon damage or degenerative changes.

  • 3

    Ischiofemoral impingement (IFI) results from soft-tissue compression and presents as buttock and groin pain.

  • 4

    Higher femoral anteversion (FA) after THA may be linked to IFI, but its impact on hip pain has not been thoroughly studied.

  • 5

    This study evaluates the relationship between changes in FA and femoral offset on the occurrence of IFI and GTPS after anterior-approached THA.
