Heterotopic ossification may adversely influence the outcome of total hip arthroplasty, causing discomfort or limiting the range of motion and function of the hip.

Radiation therapy lowered the incidence of unsatisfactory results and increased the Harris Hip Score in hips with a poor preoperative range of motion.
