}Impingement is a cause of poor outcomes of prosthetic hip arthroplasty; it can lead to instability, accelerated wear, and unexplained pain. Impingement is influenced by prosthetic design, component position, biomechanical factors, and patient variables. Evidence linking impingement to dislocation and accelerated wear comes from implant retrieval studies. Operative principles that maximize an impingement-free range of motion include correct combined acetabular and femoral anteversion and an…

It was showed that larger head sizes are associated with decreased incidence of impingement on retrieved acetabular liners when compared to smaller head sizes, which indicates that larger heads have reduced but not eliminated impingements, which remains a potential source of instability.
The Acetabular Component in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty

The ability to reposition a cementless cup to optimize component orientation allows the joint replacement surgeon to minimize impingement and maximize component stability, essential to prevent dislocation and damage to bearing surface of the acetabular component.

Soft tissue has a major impact on impingement-free ROM after THA, and future models of patient individual joint replacement including pre-operative (CT) planning and intra-operative navigation should include algorithms additionally accounting for soft tissue impingements.

Minimizing impingement involves avoiding skirted heads, matching a 22‐mm head with an appropriate acetabular implant, maximizing the head‐to‐neck ratio, and, when possible, using a chamferedacetabular liner and a trapezoidal, rather than circular, neck cross‐section.
