Case: The modified direct anterior approach (MDAA) is a recently popular surgical technique for total hip arthroplasty (THA), with well-documented challenges. Characterized as acute hip and back pain, we present the case of a 78-year-old woman who developed an iliopsoas hematoma after an MDAA THA and discuss the management of this incident.
Conclusions: Iliopsoas hematoma after THA poses a unique challenge and should be considered in patients with acute hip and back pain, with loss of strength on the affected limb after an MDAA THA.
