Conventional systems of assessing the hip before and after surgery use the range of movement as an indicator of functional results. We found that the range of movement, defined as the flexion arc or the total range, is a poor indicator of function as measured by ability to reach the feet. A different and more direct basis for assessing function is proposed.Downloads
