Table 3 Multiple regression analysis for predicting femoral rotation after surgery in revision total hip arthroplasty patients

From: Postoperative excessive external femoral rotation in revision total hip arthroplasty is associated with muscle weakness in iliopsoas and gluteus medius and risk for hip dislocation
