Introduction

Registry data from around the world demonstrates instability following primary THA is a leading indication for revision. However, the burden of THA dislocation is poorly documented and is not routinely recorded or reported at a national level. Our aim was to determine the rate of dislocation following primary THA in contemporary practice and in doing so determining the burden of THA dislocation to the NHS in Wales.

Method

We considered all Welsh residents who underwent primary THA from 2011–2016. Via clinical coding linkage using Patient Episode Database for Wales (PEDW), the equivalent of HES data in England, we were able determine re-admission for dislocation, revision THA following dislocation and all cause revision at 1 to 5 years follow-up.
