Abstract
Background: Although longer surgical times in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) are associated with higher complication rates, this has yet to be explored in conversion THA. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between surgical time and complications in the setting of conversion THA with implant removal. We aim to establish a length of surgery after which the risk of complications increases.
Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at a single institution. A total of 260 conversion THAs performed between 2015 and 2021 were included. An area under the curve (AUC) was constructed to determine a surgery time that increased the likelihood of complications. Logistic regressions were run to determine predictors for longer surgical times and complications.
Results: The overall complication rate of conversion THA involving implant removal was 25.8% (67 patients). Surgical times greater than 114 minutes were found to be a predictor of complications (AUC: 0.700, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.630 to 0.771), with complications 6 times as likely in these cases (9.57% vs. 34.9%, P < 0.001). Regression analysis revealed that index implants of cephalomedullary nails ( P < 0.001, odds ratio [OR]: 17.47) and dynamic hip screw plates ( P < 0.001, OR: 10.9) were notable predictors of surgical times greater than 114 minutes along with higher body mass index ( P = 0.005, OR: 1.10). Higher body mass index and surgical times greater than 114 minutes were also found to be predictors of complications ( P = 0.035, OR: 0.93; P < 0.001, 6.37).
Conclusion: Conversion THA cases involving implant removal that are longer than 114 minutes are associated with higher complication rates and revision surgeries. Conversion THA requiring implant removal of cephalomedullary nails or dynamic hip screw plates were predictors for longer surgical times. Improved surgical planning and perioperative patient optimization may be viable options to limit surgical times. This information can be used to counsel patients on the risk of complications and the possibility of a staged procedure if appropriate.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons was established in the fall of 1993 by the Academy in response to its membership’s demand for a clinical review journal. Two issues were published the first year, followed by six issues yearly from 1994 through 2004. In September 2005, JAAOS began publishing monthly issues.
Each issue includes richly illustrated peer-reviewed articles focused on clinical diagnosis and management. Special features in each issue provide commentary on developments in pharmacotherapeutics, materials and techniques, and computer applications.
