Simulation of prosthetic impingement is important for preventing complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although the anatomical hip range of motion (ROM) in patients after THA is an essential parameter for these simulations, previous simulation studies substituted various clinical hip ROMs for the anatomical hip ROM. Using a navigation system, anatomical hip ROM was accurately assessed after implantation during primary THA in 30 patients. We found that the hip could be passively moved to 113° of flexion, 34° of extension, 46° of abduction, 75° of internal rotation, and 36° of external rotation. Almost all reference hip ROMs used in previous simulations were smaller than these values. Therefore, wider hip ROM values should be used as parameters for such simulations.
