Gait disturbance was seen preoperatively and remained after surgery. Walking after total hip arthroplasty provides the hip joint rotates inward which is closer to normal walking. However, no change was observed in the external rotation moment of the hip joint during walking. We suspect that the invasiveness of the posterolateral approach of total hip arthroplasty affects the muscles for external rotation of the hip joint. This can also cause in gait disturbances.
