Abstract
Background: There is increasing debate among orthopaedic surgeons over the temporal relationship between lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with hip-spine syndrome. Few large studies have directly compared the results of patients who undergo LSF prior to THA (LSF-THA) to those who undergo LSF after THA (THA-LSF). The current study matched THA patients with a prior LSF to patients who underwent LSF after THA to assess: 90-day and 1-year (1) medical/surgical complications; and (2) revisions.
Methods: We queried a national, all-payer database to identify all patients undergoing THA between 2010 and 2018 (n = 716,084). The LSF-THA patients and THA-LSF patients were then matched 1:1 on age, sex, Charleson Comorbidity Index, and obesity. Medical/surgical complications and revisions at 90 days and 1 year were recorded. Categorical and continuous variables were analysed utilising t-tests and chi-square, respectively.
Results: LSF-THA patients experienced significantly more postoperative dislocations at 90 days and 1 year compared to THA-LSF patients (p = 0.048 and p < 0.001). There were a similar number of revisions performed for LSF-THA and THA-LSF patients at both 90 days and 1 year (p = 0.183 and p = 0.426). Furthermore, at 1 year, LSF-THA patients experienced more pneumonia (p = 0.005) and joint infection (p = 0.020).
Conclusions: Prior LSF has been demonstrated to increase the risk of postoperative dislocation in patients undergoing THA. The results of the present study demonstrate increased dislocations with LSF-THA compared to THA-LSF. For "hip spine syndrome" patients requiring both LSF and THA, it may be more beneficial to undergo THA prior to LSF. Arthroplasty surgeons may wish to collaborate with spinal surgeons to ensure optimal outcomes for this group of patients.
期刊介绍:
HIP International is the official journal of the European Hip Society. It is the only international, peer-reviewed, bi-monthly journal dedicated to diseases of the hip. HIP International considers contributions relating to hip surgery, traumatology of the hip, prosthetic surgery, biomechanics, and basic sciences relating to the hip. HIP International invites reviews from leading specialists with the aim of informing its readers of current evidence-based best practice.
The journal also publishes supplements containing proceedings of symposia, special meetings or articles of special educational merit.
HIP International is divided into six independent sections led by editors of the highest scientific merit. These sections are:
• Biomaterials
• Biomechanics
• Conservative Hip Surgery
• Paediatrics
• Primary and Revision Hip Arthroplasty
• Traumatology
