This article seeks to determine if there is a difference in postoperative pain, mobilization, and opioid consumption between HRA and THA. A single-institution total joint arthroplasty database was utilized to identify adult patients who underwent elective HRA or THA between 2016 and 2019. Baseline demographic data along with operative time and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) were collected. Patients were matched by age, sex, race, smoking status, body mass index (BMI), and CCI. Morphine milligram equivalents (MME) and visual analog scale scores were collected. Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) was used to determine physical therapy progress. A total of 7,387 cases were identified: 96.59% THA (7,135) and 3.41% HRA (252). HRA patients were significantly younger (52.52 vs. 64.04 years; p < 0.001), had higher BMI (30.03 vs. 29.40; p = 0.029), and were almost exclusively male as compared with the THA cohort (98.8% vs. 42.2%; p < 0.001). HRA patients had lower CCI scores (0.36 vs. 1.14; p < 0.001). Surgical time was greater for HRA (124.81 vs. 103.82 minutes; p < 0.001). HRA patients had significantly shorter length of stay (LOS) than THA patients (1.17 vs. 1.48 days; p < 0.001) and had significantly better AM-PAC scores (21.52 vs. 20.65; p = 0.032). HRA patients exhibited a trend toward home discharge (0.4% vs. 2.4%; p = 0.057). Aggregate opioid consumption (23.63 vs. 27.89 MME; p = 0.321) and pain scores (3.47 vs. 3.28; p = 0.438) were not different between matched cohorts. HRA patients are younger, almost exclusively male, and have lower CCI scores at time of surgery. HRA is associated with significantly shorter LOS and greater mobilization measures. They tended to have a higher rate of home discharge. Both groups had similar pain scores and opioid consumption.

This is a retrospective review of a quality improvement project. The study included patients who underwent hip CT at a single center as part of a clinical evaluation for young adult hip pain. Four distinct protocols were used during the study period. All protocols included at CT scan of the hip with slices through the distal femur to evaluate femoral version. Patient variables collected included age, gender, and body mass index (BMI). The dose–length product was collected and the effective dose in millisieverts (mSv) was calculated. Differences in dose between protocols were compared using analysis of variance with appropriate post hoc tests and multivariate general linear regression. A total of 613 patients underwent hip CT during the study period with 304 patients in protocol 1, 83 in protocol 2, 136 in protocol 3, and 91 in protocol 4. When controlling for age, gender, and BMI there was a significant decrease in effective dose of radiation from protocol 1 (3.63 mSv) to protocol 2 (3.06 mSv) ( p = 0.002) and protocol 2 (3.06 mSv) to protocol 3 (2.16 mSv) ( p < 0.001). There was no difference between protocol 3 (2.16 mSv) and protocol 4 (2.10 mSv) ( p = 0.269) but protocol 4 was easier to administer. In regression modeling, BMI ( p < 0.001) and protocol used ( p < 0.001) were independent predictors of effective radiation dose (model R 2 = 0.585). Through a longitudinal clinical quality improvement project, we were able to decrease the effective radiation exposure to patients undergoing hip CT for hip preservation evaluation by close to 50%.

We included nine patients with FHNJOO in this series, who underwent resection via the minimally invasive direct anterior approach (DAA), from January 2010 to 2013. The functional outcomes were hip range of motion (ROM), visual analogue scale for pain (VAS), and Harris hip score (HHS), which were assessed pre- and postoperatively at 3 months at the last follow-up. We had nine patients with a mean age of 17.25 ± 6.75 years. The mean diagnosis delay was 23.56 ± 4.67 months. We had a mean follow-up of 93.67 ± 18.02 months. The hip ROM, VAS, and HHS were significantly improved from 97.78 ± 8.70 degrees to 121.11 ± 4.86 degrees, 63.93 ± 10.47 to 99.11 ± 1.76 degrees, and 7.3 ± 1.5 to 0.1 ± 0.3 degrees at 3-month and the last follow-up, respectively (p < 0.001).

A retrospective case study, systematic literature review, and cadaveric study were performed to assess the risk for LFCN palsy with the ABMS compared with the direct anterior (DA) approach. Consecutive patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) using ABMS were identified and assessed for LFCN palsy. A systematic review of LFCN injury with ABMS and DA approaches was conducted. In four fresh cadavers (eight hips), ABMS and DA approaches were performed and the LFCN identified.

In 64 consecutive ABMS THA (mean age: 57.3 ± 13.5 years, 42% female, mean body mass index: 30.2 ± 5.3 kg/m2), two hips (3.2%) had an LFCN palsy.

The purpose of this study was to determine the wRVU per minute rates and reimbursement in dollars per minute for THA performed for fracture compared with THA performed for osteoarthritis. Data were collected through the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2006 to 2018 to identify all patients who underwent primary THA for osteoarthritis or for fractures. Total wRVU, operation time, wRVU per minute, and dollars per minute were assessed between the osteoarthritis and fracture cohorts. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were utilized for the study.

Furthermore, we aim to determine whether these findings lead to additional imaging, delay, or cancelation in TJA cases.

Of the 2,183 LFI images taken prior to TJA, 41 cases qualified as having IF (1.9%, 41/2,183), 18 thoracic, 11 spinal, 11 lower limb, and 1 abdominal.

This has raised concern. While these constructs have been shown to effectively reduce the risk of dislocation in revision and high-risk primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), previous studies have been limited by the length of follow-up. The purpose of the study is to review the mid-term clinical outcomes of MDM implants with a minimum of 5-year follow-up. A retrospective, observational study was conducted on all consecutive patients who underwent THA with a MDM implant from June 2011 and March 2017 at an urban, tertiary academic medical center. Descriptive statistics were used to describe baseline patient characteristics. Primary endpoints included revision rates, dislocations rates, and implant component survivorship. Implant survival was analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method. A total of 92 cases (61 primary, 31 revision) underwent THA with a MDM implant at an average follow-up of 6.90 ± 1.48 years (range: 5.01–10.53 years). The mean patient age at the time of surgery was 58.20 ± 11.85 years. Six patients were revised (6.5%, 6/92), two for periprosthetic joint infection (2.2%, 2/92), one due to aseptic loosening (1.1%, 1/92), one due to periprosthetic fracture (1.1%, 1/92), and the remaining two for metallosis (2.2%, 2/92). Kaplan–Meier survivorship analysis showed a 93.5% survival rate for all-cause revisions and 98.9% survival for acetabular component revision. MDM components reliably decrease the risk of dislocation after THA. However, the occurrence of two revisions due to metallosis demonstrates the necessity for continued surveillance in this cohort. Larger trials with long-term follow-up may be required to further elucidate the long-term outcomes and performance of these bearings.","PeriodicalId":427844,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Hip Surgery","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123309558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
