Abstract:
This article reports three cases of ipsilateral limb swelling following total hip arthroplasty secondary to vascular compression from iliopsoas bursitis. The etiology was attributed to insufficient acetabular component anteversion, leading to polyethylene liner wear and iliopsoas impingement. Two patients underwent revision surgery and achieved symptom resolution. In contrast, the third patient opted for conservative management, resulting in recurrent limb swelling and the development of deep vein thrombosis. The patient required interventional treatment by the vascular surgery service and ultimately showed clinical improvement.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
