Spinopelvic alignment and low back pain after total hip arthroplasty: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Spinopelvic alignment is increasingly considered as an essential factor for maintaining an energy-efficient posture in individuals with normal or pathological status. Although several previous studies have shown that changes in the sagittal spinopelvic alignment may occur in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA), no review of this area has been completed so far. Thus, the objective of this scoping review was to summarize the evidence investigating changes in spinopelvic alignment and low back pain (LBP) following THA.

Data sources

We adhered to the established methodology for scoping reviews. Four electronic databases were systematically searched from inception-December 31, 2021.

Study selection

We selected prospective or retrospective observation
