- Posterior THA precautions
- No hip flexion past 90 degrees, no adduction past midline, no internal rotation.
- Convex-concave rule
- Convex on concave: roll and glide in opposite directions (humeral head glides inferiorly for abduction).
- Compensated Trendelenburg
- Trunk leans over the stance limb because that hip's abductors are weak.
