Abstract
Background
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) allows for the replacement of impaired parts of the hip joint with artificial ones. This study aimed to compare the differences in preoperative patient profiles, postoperative complications, and clinical outcomes of two patient groups: those who underwent THA for fractures and those who underwent THA electively for diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA) and avascular necrosis (AVN).
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients who underwent THA between March 2012 and December 2021. Of 232 patients, 173 patients who met the exclusion and inclusion criteria were included. Patients were divided into two groups (Group 1: 113 patients diagnosed with OA or AVN; Group 2: 60 patients diagnosed with hip fracture). Pre- and postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Koval scores, and postoperative modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) were used to assess clinical outcomes. Demographic data and postoperative complications of the two groups were compared. After surgery, a rehabilitation protocol was initiated.
Results
Patients in Group 2 (fracture) had more preoperative comorbidities than those in Group 1 (elective). Follow-up months are 26.22 ± 19.78 (Group 1), and 27.42 ± 17.02 (Group 2) respectively (P > 0.05). There were no statistical differences in the prevalence of postoperative complications between two groups (P > 0.05). Compared with Group 1(elective), Group 2(fracture) showed lower VAS (P < 0.01) at last follow-up, and no difference in Koval score (P = 0.77) and mHHS (P = 0.96) at last follow-up.
Conclusion
Considering the characteristics of the two groups and their perioperative multidisciplinary care, THA for hip fractures can provide good clinical results compared to those with elective THA.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Orthopaedics aims to be a leading journal in orthopaedics and contribute towards the improvement of quality of orthopedic health care. The journal publishes original research work and review articles related to different aspects of orthopaedics including Arthroplasty, Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, Trauma, Spine and Spinal deformities, Pediatric orthopaedics, limb reconstruction procedures, hand surgery, and orthopaedic oncology. It also publishes articles on continuing education, health-related information, case reports and letters to the editor. It is requested to note that the journal has an international readership and all submissions should be aimed at specifying something about the setting in which the work was conducted. Authors must also provide any specific reasons for the research and also provide an elaborate description of the results.
