Previous reports have investigated the correlation between time to revision hip arthroplasty (rTHA) and reason for revision, but little is known regarding the impact of timing on outcomes following rTHA. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of time to rTHA on both indication and outcomes of rTHA. This retrospective observational study reviewed patients who underwent unilateral, aseptic rTHA at an academic orthopedic specialty hospital between January 2016 and April 2019 with at least 1-year of follow-up. Patients were early revisions if they were revised within 2 years of primary THA (pTHA) or late revisions if revised after greater than 2 years. Patient demographics, surgical factors, and post-operative outcomes were compared between the groups. Post-hoc power analysis was performed (1-β=0.991).Introduction
