THA in the presence of SA, regardless of level, is associated with inferior outcomes and an increased risk for dislocation. The presence of a SA is associated with increased risk of adverse spinopelvic characteristics. Such characteristics were strongly associated with increased dislocation-risk and inferior PROMs. It is likely that these adverse characteristics are the most important adverse predictor, rather than segment of SA per se.
