The objective of this narrative review is to overcome the aforementioned difficulties by using a strategy to answer some questions: Is hip dislocation really a problem? What is the interrelationship between alterations in the pelvic spinal balance and the dislocation of a prosthesis? How is sagittal balance and lumbosacral mobility defined and how can their alterations be measured? What are their compensatory mechanisms to achieve a good functioning and how these mechanisms can be used to correctly orient the acetabulum?
