Surgical management of acetabular fractures in older patients remains controversial. The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes of primary THA with outcomes after THA for acute acetabular fractures (aTHA) as well as outcomes following delayed THA (dTHA) following prior acetabular fracture. We analyzed data from a large, national administrative claims database containing diagnostic, procedural, and demographic records from over 157 million patients. We identified all patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty THA continuously enrolled in the database at least 2 years prior and after the index procedure. Patients with an initial diagnostic code for acetabular fracture occurring the same day as the THA were classified as acute acetabular fractures. Patients with an initial acetabular fracture diagnostic code occurring at least 6 months before THA were classified as chronic acetabular fractures. The comparator group was patients undergoing THA with no history of acetabular fracture. There were 426,734 patients undergoing primary THA, 235 patients undergoing aTHA and 1,255 patients undergoing dTHA. Patients with an aTHA had higher complication rates, including revisions (9.8% vs 5.6%,), dislocations (8.9% vs 6.4%), and periprosthetic fracture (5.1% vs 2.3%) compared to dTHA. After adjusting for age, sex, region, and comorbidities, receiving an aTHA increased the odds of revision (OR = 3.65 [95% CI: 2.30–5.49]), dislocation (OR = 4.09 [95% CI: 2.53–6.27]), and periprosthetic fracture (OR = 4.29 [95% CI: 2.26–7.36]) compared to primary THA. Receiving a dTHA significantly increased the odds of revision (adjusted OR = 1.80 [95% CI: 1.40–2.27]), dislocation (adjusted OR = 2.50 [95% CI: 1.97–3.13]), and periprosthetic fracture (adjusted OR = 1.99 [95% CI: 1.34–2.83]) compared to primary THA. Patients undergoing aTHA in the treatment of an acetabular fracture have significantly increased rates of revision, periprosthetic fracture, and dislocation compared to dTHA and primary THA.

Aims. Our study aimed to 1) Describe the changes in spinopelvic mobility when transitioning from standing, to ‘relaxed-seated’ and thereafter to ‘deep-seated’ position and 2) Determine the change in spinopelvic mobility types 1 year post-THA compared to preoperatively. Methods. This prospective diagnostic cohort study followed 100 consecutive patients 1 year post-THA. Preoperatively and one year postoperatively, radiographic measurements were performed for the lumbar-lordosis-angle, pelvic tilt and pelvic-femoral-angle on lateral radiographs in the standing, ‘relaxed-seated’ and ‘deep-seated’ position (torso maximally leaning forward). Patients were classified according to their spinopelvic mobility type, according to the change in PT between the standing and relaxed-seated position (stiff:ΔPT<±10°, normal:10°≤ΔPT≤30°, hypermobile:ΔPT>±30°). Results. Compared to preoperatively, when moving from a standing to a relaxed-seated position, hip flexion increased by 10°±18, leading to less posterior pelvic tilt by 6°±11 and reduced lumbar spine flexion by 6°±11 (all p<0.001). Similarly, when moving from the standing to deep-seated position, hip flexion improved by a mean of 8°±22, leading to reduced lumbar spine flexion by a mean of 5°±8, whereas the change in pelvic tilt did not change compared to preoperatively (p=0.016, p<0.001, p=0.46). The distribution of spinopelvic mobility types 1 year postoperatively was significantly different compared to preoperatively, as the percentage of patients with stiff spinopelvic mobility increased from 16% to 43% (p<0.001). Conclusion. Hip flexion improved by 10° on average 1 year after

There is some evidence to suggest that outcomes of THA in patients with minimal radiographic osteoarthritis may not be associated with predictable outcomes. The aim of this study was to:. Assess the outcome of patients with hip pain who underwent THA with no or minimal radiographic signs of osteoarthritis,. Identify patient comorbidities and multiplanar imaging findings which are predictive of outcome,. Compare the outcome in these patients to the expected outcome of THA in hip OA. A retrospective review of 107 hips (102 patients, 90F:12M, median age 40.6, IQR 35.1–45.8 years, range 18–73) were included for analysis. Plain radiographs were evaluated using the Tonnis grading scale of hip OA. Outcome measures were all-cause revision; iHOT12; EQ-5D; Oxford Hip Score; UCLA Activity Scale; and whether THA had resulted in the patient's hip pain and function being Better/Same/Worse. The median Oxford Hip Score was 33.3 (IQR 13.9, range 13–48), and 36/107 (33.6%) hips achieved an OHS≥42. There was no association between primary hip diagnosis and post-operative PROMs. A total of 91 of the 102 patients (89.2%, 93 hips) reported that their hip pain and function was Better than prior to THA and would have the surgery again, 7 patients (6.8%, 10 hips) felt the Same, and 4 patients (3.9%, 4 hips) felt Worse and would not have the surgery again.
