5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Many possibilities: There are a number of reasons why someone can have anterior thigh pain after total hip replacement. Some of these include soft tissue pain from the procedure, the implant within the femur and neurologic pain. You should be evaluated by your orthopedic surgeon if you continue to have anterior side pain.

Femoral implant: Depending on what type of metal implant was used, the implant may be far stiffer than young femur, which can create thigh pain when you do a maneuver that forces your femur to flex. The other cause could be a loose implant. If the implant is moving still inside the femur it will hurt.
