Popis: Prosthetic impingement (PI) following total hip arthroplasty (THA), which arises due to the undesirable relative motion of the implants, results in adverse outcomes. Predicting PI through 3D graphical representation is difficult to comprehend when all activities are combined for different implant positions. Therefore, the aim of the paper was to translate this 3D information into a 2D graphical representation for improved understanding of the patient’s hip motion. The method used planned implanted geometry, positioned onto native bone anatomy, and activity definitions as inputs to construct the 2D polar plot from 3D hip motion in four steps. Three case studies were performed to highlight its potential use in (a) combining different activities in a single plot, (b) visualising the effect of different cup positions and (c) pelvic tilt on PI. A clinical study with 20 ‘Non-Dislocators’ and 20 ‘Dislocators’ patients after 2 years of THA was performed to validate the method. The results supported the study hypothesis, in that the incidence of PI was always higher in the ‘Dislocators’ compared to the ‘Non-Dislocators’ group. The proposed 2D graphical representation could assist in subject-specific THA planning by visualising the effect of different activities, implant positions, pelvic tilt and related aspects on PI.\ud \ud
