The purpose of the present study was to assess how the postoperative discrepancy in limb offset (consisting of both femoral offset and acetabular offset) affects soft-tissue tension compared with other factors among patients with unilateral hip disease undergoing total hip arthroplasty.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 89 consecutive patients underwent mini-incision total hip arthroplasty involving an anterolateral or posterior approach and with use of a computer navigation system. Soft-tissue tension was measured by applying traction amounting to 40% of body weight with the joint positioned at 0\u00b0, 15\u00b0, 30\u00b0, and 45\u00b0 of flexion. The separation between the cup and the prosthetic head was measured using the navigation system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The cup-head separation differed significantly for varying angles of flexion (p &lt; 0.001), with the greatest distance noted at 15\u00b0 of flexion (mean and standard deviation, 11 \u00b1 5 mm). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that postoperative limb-offset discrepancy, an anterolateral approach, and preoperative abduction range of motion were correlated with the cup-head separation at 15\u00b0 of flexion. Postoperative limb-offset discrepancy was negatively correlated with the cup-head separation at 0\u00b0, 15\u00b0, and 30\u00b0 of flexion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Postoperative limb-offset discrepancy significantly affected the soft-tissue tension in total hip arthroplasty at varying degrees of flexion.
