Abstract
Background
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for severe developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is technically difficult because of the anatomical features of dysplasia, such as a hypoplastic and shallow acetabulum, narrow femoral canal, and soft tissue contractures. Subtrochanteric osteotomy (STO) is effective technique to reduce the risk of sciatic nerve palsy while placing the acetabular cup in an anatomical position during THA for severe DDH. Few studies have compared THA performed without STO to THA performed with STO. We performed a systematic literature review and single-arm meta-analysis to integrate the results of studies regarding THA with STO for severe DDH.
Patients and methods
A systematic literature review was conducted using relevant original studies from various databases. Pooling of data was performed using RevMan software. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. The results are expressed as incidences with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for dichotomous data and means with 95 % CI for continuous data. Statistical heterogeneity was assessed based on I2 using the standard χ2 test. When I2 > 50 %, significant heterogeneity was assumed, and a random-effects model was applied for the meta-analysis. A fixed-effects model was applied in the absence of significant heterogeneity.
Results
Twelve studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled incidence of sciatic nerve palsy, delayed union or nonunion, dislocation, intraoperative femoral fracture, and infection were 2.44 % (95 % CI: 0.86–4.01), 2.74 % (95 % CI: 1.11–4.37), 2.92 % (95 % CI: 1.63–4.20), 2.19 % (95 % CI: 0.95–3.42), and 3.11 % (95 % CI: 0.10–6.12), respectively. Pooling of the data also showed a mean Harris Hip Score (HHS) of 88.33 (95 % CI: 84.95–91.70).
Discussion
Although THA with STO for severe DDH is a challenging surgical procedure, this meta-analysis showed that the results of THA with STO for severe DDH are favourable.
Level of evidence: Ⅳ (systematic review and meta-analysis).
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.
