Abstract 

Pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be due to a number of factors, including dysfunction of the iliopsoas tendon. We report a case of persistent groin pain after THA. The pain was successfully treated using iliopsoas tenotomy rather than revision of any prosthetic component. © 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
