Our findings highlight the importance of careful clinical evaluation of patients presenting with eccentric deformities because some may exhibit potentially detrimental strength deficits. Recognition of such strength deficits may allow for targeted rehabilitation. Future work should explore the relationship between strength in patients with specific subtypes of eccentric wear patterns and potential forms of kinematic or muscular compensation to determine whether these factors play a role in TSA failures in patients with eccentric deformities.
