Abstract
Our findings indicate that while the majority of intraoperative motion is <4°, many patients experience significant roll, with a large proportion rolling >10°. This degree of movement has implications for acetabular cup position, as failure to compensate for this motion can result in placement of the cup outside the planned safe zone, thus, increasing the potential for dislocation. Further study is warranted to determine the effect of this motion on cup position, leg length, and offset.
