The condition affects one in four patients with above-knee amputations on the amputation side. While HFC in other disorders is known to decrease hip ROM and increase pelvic tilt during gait, its impact on the gait of patients with above-knee amputations remains unexplored. Typically, prosthetists design the socket with a flexion angle matching the HFC, potentially leading to compensations during the posterior stance phase of the gait cycle. To our knowledge, little is known about how or whether these compensations relate to the socket's flexion alignment.</p><p><strong>Questions/purposes: </strong>(1) Is the presence of HFC associated with modifications of spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters during gait in patients with an above-knee amputation?

Thirty-two participants with unilateral above-knee amputations who had undergone amputation at least 1 year prior and had a minimum of 1 month of experience with their current prostheses were eligible for consideration and included in the study. After the trial, 1 of 32 participants was excluded due to other impairments affecting gait, and 9% (3 of 32) were excluded because of pain or discomfort during data acquisition on their gait, leaving 88% (28 of 32) of participants included in the analysis. The median (IQR) age of participants in the HFC group (n = 13) was 50 years (26 to 56); 85% (11) were male and 15% (2) were female. The median (IQR) age of participants in the noHFC group (n = 15) was 41 years (32 to 56), and 100% were male.

Clinical and prosthetic measurements were made, which comprised measurement of the HFC using a hand-held goniometer with the patient in the modified Thomas test position, the socket flexion alignment, and the difference (δ) between the HFC and socket flexion alignment.

The AJRR was selected because it is the largest arthroplasty registry in the world by annual procedure volume, and it contains a data linkage with inpatient and outpatient Medicare claims data to ensure near-complete 2-year follow-up. A total of 9220 patients were identified, and robotic assistance was used in 45% (4130) of procedures. Patient age did not differ between groups (72 ± 5 years versus 72 ± 5 years; p = 0.29).
