Screw penetration of the iliopsoas muscle causing late-onset pain after total hip arthroplasty: A case report.

Background: Postoperative pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA) may occur in a few patients but may pose a significant challenge to surgeons if the etiology is not identified. Herein, we report the case of a patient who developed late-onset pain following THA due to screw penetration of the iliopsoas tendon.

Case Summary: We report the case of a 77-year-old man who developed inguinal pain 7 years after THA.

Time taken to resume driving following hip arthroscopy.

Background: Resuming driving is a common concern among patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. The present study aimed to assess whether patients who had undergone right hip arthroscopy presented with poorer driving performance than patients with normal hips and to analyze the time required to regain preoperative driving performance.

Methods: Forty-seven patients who had undergone right hip arthroscopy and consented to our test protocol were included in this study.
