Although periacetabular osteotomies are widely used for the treatment of symptomatic acetabular dysplasia, the surgical outcomes after long term follow-up are still limited. Thus, we assessed hip survival and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) at 20 years after the transposition osteotomy of acetabulum (TOA). Among 260 hips in 238 patients treated with TOA, 172 hips in 160 patients were evaluated at average 20.8 years, excluding patients who died or lost to follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess survivorship with an end-point of THA. PROMs were evaluated using the VAS satisfaction, VAS pain, Oxford hip score (OHS), and Forgotten joint score (FJS). The thresholds of favorable outcomes of FJS and OHS were obtained using the receiver-operating characteristic curve with VAS satisfaction ≥ 50 and VAS pain < 20 as anchors. Thirty-three hips (19.2%) underwent THA at average 13.3 years after TOA. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed hip survival rate at 20 years was 79.7%. Multivariate analysis showed the preoperative Tönnis grade significantly influenced hip survival. Survival rates with Tönnis grade 0, grade 1, and grade 2 were 93.3%, 86.7%, and 54.8% at 20 years, respectively. More than 60% of the patients showed favorable PROMs (VAS satisfaction ≥ 50, VAS pain < 20, OHS ≥ 42, FJS ≥ 51). Advanced Tönnis grade at the latest follow-up and higher BMI were significantly associated with unfavorable OHS, but not with other PROMs. This study demonstrated the durability of TOA for hips with Tönnis grade 0–1 and favorable satisfaction in majority of the patients at 20 years after surgery. Current presence of advanced osteoarthritis is associated with the lower hip function (OHS), but not necessarily associated with subjective pain and satisfaction. Higher BMI also showed a negative impact on postoperative function.
To clarify the mid-term results of transposition osteotomy of the acetabulum (TOA), a type of spherical periacetabular osteotomy, combined with structural allograft bone grafting for severe hip dysplasia. We reviewed patients with severe hip dysplasia, defined as Severin IVb or V (lateral centre-edge angle (LCEA) < 0°), who underwent TOA with a structural bone allograft between 1998 and 2019. A medical chart review was conducted to extract demographic data, complications related to the osteotomy, and modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS). Radiological parameters of hip dysplasia were measured on pre- and postoperative radiographs. The cumulative probability of TOA failure (progression to Tönnis grade 3 or conversion to total hip arthroplasty) was estimated using the Kaplan–Meier product-limited method, and a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify predictors for failure.Aims
