Characteristics and Quality of Online Searches for Direct Anterior Versus Posterior Approach for Total Hip Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:2329-2335.e1. [PMID: 38582372 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.03.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Online resources are important for patient self-education and reflect public interest. We described commonly asked questions regarding the direct anterior versus posterior approach (DAA, PA) to total hip arthroplasty (THA) and the quality of associated websites. METHODS We extracted the top 200 questions and websites in Google's "People Also Ask" section for 8 queries on January 8, 2023, and grouped websites and questions into DAA, PA, or comparison. Questions were categorized using Rothwell's classification (fact, policy, value) and THA-relevant subtopics. Websites were evaluated by information source, Journal of the American Medical Association Benchmark Criteria (credibility), DISCERN survey (information quality), and readability. RESULTS We included 429 question/website combinations (questions: 52.2% DAA, 21.2% PA, 26.6% comparison; websites: 39.0% DAA, 11.0% PA, 9.6% comparison). Per Rothwell's classification, 56.2% of questions were fact, 31.7% value, 10.0% policy, and 2.1% unrelated. The THA-specific question subtopics differed between DAA and PA (P < .001), specifically for recovery timeline (DAA 20.5%, PA 37.4%), indications/management (DAA 13.4%, PA 1.1%), and technical details (DAA 13.8%, PA 5.5%). Information sources differed between DAA (61.7% medical practice/surgeon) and PA websites (44.7% government; P < .001). The median Journal of the American Medical Association Benchmark score was 1 (limited credibility, interquartile range 1 to 2), with the lowest scores for DAA websites (P < .001). The median DISCERN score was 55 ("good" quality, interquartile range 43 to 65), with the highest scores for comparison websites (P < .001). Median Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level scores were 12th grade level for both DAA and PA (P = .94). CONCLUSIONS Patients' informational interests can guide counseling. Internet searches that explicitly compare THA approaches yielded websites that provide higher-quality information. Providers may also advise patients that physician websites and websites only describing the DAA may have less balanced perspectives, and limited information regarding surgical approaches is available from social media resources.

Does Surgical Approach Affect Dislocation Rate After Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Who Have Prior Lumbar Spinal Fusion? A Retrospective Analysis of 16,223 Cases. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:S306-S313. [PMID: 38604275 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.03.068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) is a risk factor for dislocation following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The effect of the surgical approach on this association has not been investigated. This study examined the association between the surgical approach and dislocation following THA in patients who had prior LSF. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 16,223 primary elective THAs at our institution from June 2011 to September 2022. Patients who had LSF prior to THA were identified using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. Patients were stratified by LSF history, surgical approach, and intraoperative robot or navigation use to compare dislocation rates. There were 8,962 (55.2%) posterior, 5,971 (36.8%) anterior, and 1,290 (8.0%) laterally based THAs. Prior LSF was identified in 323 patients (2.0%). Binary logistic regressions were used to assess the association of patient factors with dislocation risk. RESULTS There were 177 dislocations identified in total (1.1%). In nonadjusted analyses, the dislocation rate was significantly higher following the posterior approach among all patients (P = .003). Prior LSF was associated with a significantly higher dislocation rate in all patients (P < .001) and within the posterior (P < .001), but not the anterior approach (P = .514) subgroups. Multivariate regressions demonstrated anterior (OR [odds ratio] = 0.64, 95% CI [confidence interval] 0.45 to 0.91, P = .013), and laterally based (OR = 0.42, 95% CI 0.18 to 0.96, P = .039) approaches were associated with decreased dislocation risk, whereas prior LSF (OR = 4.28, 95% CI 2.38 to 7.69, P < .001) was associated with increased dislocation risk. Intraoperative technology utilization was not significantly associated with dislocation in the multivariate regressions (OR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.49 to 1.06, P = .095). CONCLUSIONS The current study confirmed that LSF is a significant risk factor for dislocation following THA; however, anterior and laterally based approaches may mitigate dislocation risk in this population. In multivariate analyses, including surgical approach, LSF, and several perioperative variables, intraoperative technology utilization was not found to be significantly associated with dislocation risk.

Surgeons Experience Greater Physiologic Stress and Strain in the Direct Anterior Approach Than the Posterior Approach for Total Hip Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:S322-S326. [PMID: 38801964 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.05.063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The direct anterior approach (DAA) and posterior approach (PA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) have advantages and disadvantages, but their physiologic burden to the surgeon has not been quantified. This study was conducted to determine whether differences exist in surgeon physiological stress and strain during DAA in comparison to PA. METHODS We evaluated a prospective cohort of 144 consecutive cases (67 DAA and 77 PA). There were 5, high-volume, fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeons who wore a smart-vest that recorded cardiorespiratory data while performing primary THA DAA or PA. Heart rate (beats/minute), stress index (correlates with sympathetic activations), respiratory rate (respirations/minute), minute ventilation (L/min), and energy expenditure (calories) were recorded, along with patient body mass index and operative time. Continuous data was compared using t-tests or Mann Whitney U tests, and categorical data was compared with Chi-square or Fischer's exact tests. RESULTS There were no differences in patient characteristics. Compared to PA, performing THA via DAA had a significantly higher surgeon stress index (17.4 versus 12.4; P < .001), heart rate (101 versus 98.3; P = .007), minute ventilation (21.7 versus 18.7; P < .001), and energy expenditure per hour (349 versus 295; P < .001). However, DAA had a significantly shorter operative time (71.4 versus 82.1; P = .001). CONCLUSIONS Surgeons experience significantly higher physiological stress and strain when performing DAA compared to PA for primary THA. This study provides objective data on energy expenditure that can be factored into choice of approach, case order, and scheduling preferences, and provides insight into the work done by the surgeon.

Using preoperative planning software to assess the effect of head length on prosthetic range of motion in a high-risk population: a three-dimensional modeling study. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2024; 48:2403-2410. [PMID: 38767711 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-024-06191-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Concurrent use of minus heads with tapered stems in total hip arthroplasty (THA) decreases the prosthetic range of motion (pROM). Three-dimensional preoperative templating can simulate the location of the impingement by taking the hip through a virtual pROM. This enables surgeons to simulate how modifying the type of implant, orientation, and position influences impingement. We hypothesized that CT-based modeling would result in a decrease in the pROM, thereby increasing the risk of impingement when minus heads are used. METHODS Forty-three patients who underwent robotic-assisted primary THAs were included. Prosthetic head diameter (32/36-mm) and head length (minus/zero/plus) were the predictors. Maximum external rotation at full hip extension and internal rotation at 90° and 100° of flexion prior to prosthetic impingement were the outcome variables. A CT-based preoperative planning software was used for pROM estimation and impingement detection. RESULTS Significant decreases in pROM were found for both head diameters as the head length decreased and was more pronounced in external rotation during full hip extension (changes of 2.8-3.4° for the 32-mm head and 1.6-2.8° for the 36-mm head (p = 0.00011)). The magnitude of loss in pROM when using a minus head was larger than the gain provided by a plus head in tapered stems (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Head length affects the offset and pROM. When the use of minus heads or smaller heads is indicated, 3D preoperative templating for assessing postoperative pROM and impingement provides surgeons with options to consider alternate surgical plans offering additional assurance and protection from dislocation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Controversy remains over outcomes between total hip arthroplasty approaches. This study aimed to compare the time to achieve the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Physical Function Short Form (HOOS-PS) and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global-Physical for patients who underwent anterior and posterior surgical approaches in primary total hip arthroplasty. METHODS Patients from 2018 to 2021 with preoperative and postoperative HOOS-PS or PROMIS Global-Physical questionnaires were grouped by approach. Demographic and MCID achievement rates were compared, and survival curves with and without interval-censoring were used to assess the time to achieve the MCID by approach. Log-rank and weighted log-rank tests were used to compare groups, and Weibull regression analyses were performed to assess potential covariates. RESULTS A total of 2,725 patients (1,054 anterior and 1,671 posterior) were analyzed. There were no significant differences in median MCID achievement times for either the HOOS-PS (anterior: 5.9 months, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.6 to 6.4; posterior: 4.4 months, 95% CI: 4.1 to 5.1, P = .65) or the PROMIS Global-Physical (anterior: 4.2 months, 95% CI: 3.5 to 5.3; posterior: 3.5 months, 95% CI: 3.4 to 3.8, P = .08) between approaches. Interval-censoring revealed earlier times of achieving the MCID for both the HOOS-PS (anterior: 1.509 to 1.511 months; posterior: 1.7 to 2.3 months, P = .87) and the PROMIS Global-Physical (anterior: 3.0 to 3.1 weeks; posterior: 2.7 to 3.3 weeks, P = .18) for both surgical approaches. CONCLUSIONS The time to achieve the MCID did not differ by surgical approach. Most patients will achieve clinically meaningful improvements in physical function much earlier than previously believed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Concerns remain with regards to safety of fast-track (FT) and especially outpatient procedures. The purpose of this study was to compare complication rates and clinical outcomes of propensity-matched patients who received FT total hip arthroplasty (THA) in outpatient versus inpatient settings. The hypothesis was that 90-day postoperative complication rates of outpatient FT THA would not be higher than after inpatient FT THA. METHODS This is a prospective study of consecutive patients who received FT THA at various rates of outpatient and inpatient surgery by 10 senior surgeons (10 centres). The decision between outpatient and inpatient surgery was made on a case-by-case basis depending on the surgeon and patient. All patients were followed until 90 days after surgery. Complications, readmissions and reoperations were collected, and their severity was assessed according to Clavien-Dindo. Patients completed Oxford Hip Score (OHS) at the latest follow-up. RESULTS Compared to inpatient FT THA, patients scheduled for outpatient FT THA had no significant differences in 90-day postoperative complication rates (10.7% vs. 12.9%, p = 0.129). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in 90-day readmission rates and reoperation rates, in severity of postoperative complications, and in time of occurrence of postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS There were no differences in rates of intraoperative complications, 90-day postoperative complications, readmissions, or reoperations between outpatient and inpatient FT THA. These findings may help hesitant surgeons to move towards outpatient THA pathways as there is no greater risk of early postoperative complications that could be more difficult to manage after discharge.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Following removal of total hip arthroplasty (THA) from the inpatient only (IPO) list by the Center for Medicare Services (CMS), arthroplasty surgeons face increased pressure to perform procedures on an outpatient (OP) basis. The purposes of the present study were to compare patients booked for THA as OP who required conversion to IP status postoperatively, to patients who were booked as, and remained OP, and to identify factors predictive of conversion from OP to IP status. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent a primary THA at our institution between January 1, 2020 and April 26, 2022. All patients included were originally scheduled for OP surgery and were separated based on conversion to IP status postoperatively. Multiple regression analyses were used to determine the significance of all perioperative variables. Modeling via binary logistic regressions were used to determine factors predictive of status conversion. RESULTS Of 1,937 patients, 372 (19.2%) designated as OP preoperatively required conversion to IP status postoperatively. These patients had significantly higher facility discharge rates (P < 0.001) and 90-day readmission rates (P = 0.024). Patients aged 65 and older (P < 0.001), females (P < 0.001), patients with Black/African American race (P = 0.027), with a recovery room arrival time after 12 pm (P < 0.001), with a BMI > 30 kg/m2 (P = 0.001), and with a Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) ≥ 4 (P = 0.013) were Powered by Editorial Manager® and ProduXion Manager® from Aries Systems Corporation more likely to require conversion to IP designation. Marital status and time of procedure were also significant factors, as patients who were married (P < 0.001) and who were the first case of the day (P < 0.001) were less likely to be converted to IP. CONCLUSION Several factors were identified which could help determine appropriate hospital designation status at the time of surgical booking to ultimately avoid insurance claim denials. These included BMI, certain demographic factors, CCI ≥ 4, and patients 65 or older. LEVEL III EVIDENCE Retrospective Cohort Study.

[PMID: 39161684 PMCID: PMC11331455 DOI: 10.1177/21514593241278390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction The surgical approach of hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures remains debated. The study objective was to compare in-hospital outcomes for geriatric displaced femoral neck fractures treated with hemiarthroplasty based on surgical approach (direct lateral vs. posterior approach). Materials and Methods This retrospective cohort study included geriatric patients (≥60 y/o) admitted 7/1/2016-3/31/2020 treated with hemiarthroplasty. Outcomes included: operative time (incision to closure), length of stay (HLOS), and blood loss volume (mL). The Harding direct lateral approach was compared to the posterior approach; P < .05. Results There were 164 patients (59% direct lateral, 41% posterior). Patients treated with the direct lateral approach had an advanced directive (P = .03), dementia, (P = .03), or were functionally dependent (P = .03) more often than patients treated with the posterior approach. Time to surgery was comparable between groups (P = .52). The direct lateral approach was associated with a shorter operative time (2.3 vs. 2.8 h, P = .03), a longer HLOS (5.0 vs. 4.0 days, P < .01), and a lower median volume of blood loss (50 vs. 100 mL, P = .01), than the posterior approach, respectively. In a stratified analysis, for those who were not functionally dependent, did not have dementia or an advanced directive, the direct lateral approach led to a longer HLOS (P = .03) and shorter operative time (P = .04) than the posterior approach. Whereas among those who were functionally dependent, had dementia or had an advanced directive, the direct lateral approach led to less blood loss (P = .02) than the posterior approach. Discussion While those treated with the direct lateral approach lost significantly less blood, they had a significantly longer HLOS than those treated with the posterior approach. Comorbidities significantly modified outcomes, which may suggest their presence could assist with treatment decisions. Conclusions This study found neither approach, the direct lateral nor posterior, to be superior. Surgical approach could remain physician preference.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Objective and subjective outcomes in the direct anterior approach (DAA) and posterior approach (PA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) were assessed in this study, using the Oxford Hip Score (OHS) as primary outcome. Pain, 3 objective performance-based tests, surgical time, blood loss and length of stay were assessed as secondary outcomes. METHODS Patients with primary end-stage osteoarthritis were prospectively enrolled by shared decision making for the DAA (32 patients) or PA (26 patients). Baseline data were collected preoperatively and outcomes postoperatively at 2-, 6-, 9- and 12-month follow-up. RESULTS There is no significant difference (p < 0.05) between the DAA and PA on primary outcome (OHS). There was a main effect of time which indicated an increase of OHS over time independent of group (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In the current study, no significant differences in postoperative functional outcome were found between DAA and PA in all follow-up moments.

Indirect comparisons of traction table versus standard table in total hip arthroplasty through direct anterior approach: a systematic review and frequentist network meta-analysis. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:384. [PMID: 38951886 PMCID: PMC11218227 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04852-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether the use of an orthopaedic traction table (TT) in direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) results in better outcomes. The aim of this systematic review and network meta-analysis was to compare the THA outcomes through DAA on a standard operating table and the THA outcomes through DAA on a TT. METHODS PubMed, Epistemonikos, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to 01 January 2024. An indirect comparison in network meta-analysis was performed to assess treatment effects between DAA on a TT and DAA on a standard table, using fixed-effects and random-effects models estimated with frequentist approach and consistency assumption. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for continuous variables and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs were estimated for binary variables. RESULTS The systematic review of the literature identified 43 RCTs with a total of 2,258 patients. DAA with TT had a 102.3 mL higher intraoperative blood loss and a 0.6 mmol/L lower Hb 3 days postoperatively compared with DAA without TT (SMD = 102.33, 95% CI 47.62 to 157.04; SMD = - 0.60, 95% CI - 1.19 to - 0.00). DAA with TT had a 0.15 lower periprosthetic fracture OR compared with DAA without TT (OR 0.15, 95% CI 0.03 to 0.86). There were no further significant differences in surgical, radiological, functional outcomes and in complication rates. CONCLUSION Based on our findings and taking into account the limitations, we recommend that particular attention be paid to the risk of periprosthetic fracture in DAA on a standard operating table and blood loss in DAA with TT. Since numerous other surgical, radiological, functional outcome parameters and other complication rates studied showed no significant difference between DAA on a standard operating table and DAA with TT, no recommendation for a change in surgical technique seems justified. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I evidence, because this is a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Hueter-Anterior Approach (HAA) with its limited soft tissue and internervous dissection has been shown to be an effective approach for primary total hip and hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of patients requiring revision of HRA to total hip replacement using the HAA, assessing function and complications. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained research database. Between 2006 and 2015, 555 primary metal-on-metal (MoM) HRAs were performed via the HAA; we identified 33 hips in 30 patients that required revisions for aseptic causes to THA: aseptic loosening of acetabulum in 12 and femoral in 7, 10 for pseudotumour/ALTR, 4 for femoral neck fracture. All revision surgeries were performed through a HAA by a single surgeon who had also performed the index operation. PROMs were collected preoperatively and yearly at various timepoints postoperatively. RESULTS The mean age at time of revision was 48.9 years (±5.3 SD) for 22 males (67%) and 11 females (33%). The mean time to revision surgery/failure of hip resurfacing was 3.3 years (±2.4 SD). There were 5 major reoperations with 3 infections, 1 acetabular loosening and 1 trunnionosis. There were significant improvements in multiple PROMs. CONCLUSIONS The HAA is a viable surgical approach for revision of HRA with smaller initial HRA acetabular components generally requiring a relatively larger acetabular compoent at time of revision. Patients reported improvement in symptoms and function and a lower risk of subsequent reoperation than what has previously been reported for failed MoM bearings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the direct anterior approach (DAA) may experience faster recovery but may also have better baseline health than those who undergo THA with the posterior approach (PA). This study aimed to compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) between the DAA and PA while controlling for baseline factors. METHODS This is a secondary data analysis from a prospective cohort study of patients utilizing a smartphone-based care management platform following THA. The primary outcomes were HOOS JR and EQ-5D-5L through 1 year and change from baseline. Longitudinal regression models were created to control for baseline characteristics and investigate the impact of surgical approach on PROMs. RESULTS Of 1364 THAs evaluated, 731 (53.6%) were female, and 840 (61.6%) used the PA. Patients in the PA group were of similar age but had higher body mass index and comorbidity scores. Pre-operative HOOS JR and EQ-5D-5L were comparable, but higher post-operatively in the DAA group through 6 months (p = 0.03 and p = 0.005). At 1 year post-operatively, HOOS JR and EQ-5D-5L did not vary between groups (p = 0.48 and p = 0.56), nor did changes from baseline (p = 0.47 and p = 0.11). After controlling baseline characteristics, DAA was significantly associated with higher average HOOS JR through 6 months (p = 0.03) and EQ-5D-5L through 3 months (p = 0.005), but not at 12 months (p = 0.89 and p = 0.56). CONCLUSION THA patients undergoing DAA demonstrate earlier improvements in HOOS JR and EQ-5D-5L. However, these differences may not be clinically significant and are not evident at 1-year post-operative. Patient selection and surgeon training may continue to affect outcomes by surgical approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of direct anterior approach (DAA) or posterior approach (PA) on step and stair counts after total hip arthroplasty using a remotely monitored mobile application with a smartwatch while controlling for baseline characteristics. METHODS This is a secondary data analysis from a prospective cohort study of patients utilizing a smartphone-based care management platform. The primary outcomes were step and stair counts and changes from baseline through one year. Step and stair counts were available for 1,501 and 847 patients, respectively. Longitudinal regression models were created to control for baseline characteristics. RESULTS Patients in the DAA group had significantly lower body mass index (P = .049) and comorbidities (P = .028), but there were no significant differences in age (P = .225) or sex (P = .315). The DAA patients had a higher average and improvement from baseline in step count at 2 and 3 weeks postoperatively after controlling for patient characteristics (P = .028 and P = .044, respectively). The average stair counts were higher for DAA patients at one month postoperatively (P = .035), but this difference was not significant after controlling for patient demographics. Average stair ascending speeds and changes from baseline were not different between DAA and PA patients. Descending stair speed was higher at 2 weeks postoperatively for DAA patients, but was no longer higher after controlling for baseline demographics. CONCLUSIONS After controlling for baseline characteristics, DAA patients demonstrate earlier improvement in step count than PA patients after total hip arthroplasty. However, patient selection and surgeon training may continue to influence outcomes through a surgical approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, surgeons introduced a minimally invasive modification on the classic posterolateral approach (PLA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA): the direct superior approach (DSA). We investigated the association between surgeon's experience and the risk of early revision of the DSA in primary THA, using data from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI). METHODS We retrieved all primary THAs performed using the DSA in 4 hospitals between 2016 and 2022 (n = 1551). Procedures were sorted in 5 groups using the date of operation and number of previous procedures per surgeon: 1-25; 26-50; 51-75; 76-100; >100. Subsequently, data from different surgeons were pooled together and the risk of revision was calculated via a multilevel time-to-event analysis. RESULTS The overall revision rate was 1.5% after a mean follow-up of 2 years. Patients from the 1-25 group had comparable risks of revision compared to patients in the >100 group (hazard ratio [HR] 1.0 [CI, 0.3-3.2]). The risk for patients in groups 26-50, 51-75 and 75-100 was also not statistically different from the >100 group (resp. HR 1.5 [CI, 0.5-5.0], 1.8 [CI, 0.5-6.4] and 0.5 [CI, 0.1-4.0]). Main reasons of revision were dislocation (0.5%) and infection (0.4%). CONCLUSIONS We did not identify an association between the surgeon's experience and the early risk of revision for the DSA in primary THA in the Netherlands. The DSA seems safe in the early adoption phases with a low risk of revision due to dislocation and revision for all other causes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study sought to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and resource utilization of a pilot outpatient surgery program for total hip arthroplasty compared to traditional inpatient total hip arthroplasty performed via the posterolateral approach. METHODS A cohort of 68 patients from two sites were enrolled in a regional pilot project for outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA) and matched 1:1 against a cohort of patients undergoing routine inpatient THA. Data was extracted retrospectively from patient and hospital charts including adverse events (AE), readmission within 90 days, emergency room (ER) visits, patient calls, patient-reported outcome measures, length of stay, and multiple surgical variables. RESULTS The outpatient group had a mean hospital stay of 13 hours, whereas the inpatient group had a mean of 58 hours (p<0.001). Three outpatients and four inpatients experienced post-op complications. Three inpatients and one outpatient visited the ER within 8 weeks of surgery. No difference in pre-operative hemoglobin (p = 0.210), or surgical blood loss (p = 0.550) was found between study groups. There was no difference found between groups regarding Oxford-12 Hip Score improvement, nor satisfaction at six months, one and two years (p>0.125). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that outpatient THA using the posterolateral approach is as safe and effective as inpatient THA for overall healthy and carefully screened patients, based on the low rate of AEs observed and similar patient outcomes reported. Significantly reduced time in hospital demonstrates the reduced healthcare resources associated with outpatient THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is one of the regional nerve blocks used to reduce pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We aim to assess the efficacy of FICB in reducing post-operative pain and opioid consumption. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Scopus on February 19, 2023, and we updated our search in august 2023 using relevant search strategy. Studies were extensively screened for eligibility by title and abstract screening, followed by full-text screening. We extracted the data from the included studies, and then pooled the data as mean difference (MD) or odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI), using Review Manager Software (ver. 3.5). RESULTS FIBC significantly reduced analgesic consumption at 24 h (MD = -8.75, 95% CI [-9.62, -7.88] P < 0.00001), and at 48 h post-operatively. (MD = -15.51, 95% CI [-26.45, -4.57], P = 0.005), with a significant sensory block of the femoral nerve (P = 0.0004), obturator nerve (P = 0.0009), and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (P = 0.002). However, FICB was not associated with a significant pain relief at 6, 24, and 48 h postoperatively, except at 12 h where it significantly reduced pain intensity (MD = -0.49, 95% CI [-0.85, -0.12], P = 0.008). FICB was also not effective in reducing post-operative nausea and vomiting (MD = 0.55, 95% CI [0.21, 1.45], P = 0.23), and was associated with high rates of quadriceps muscle weakness (OR = 9.09, % CI [3.70, 22.30], P = < 0.00001). CONCLUSIONS FICB significantly reduces the total analgesic consumption up to 48 h; however, it is not effective in reducing post-operative pain, nausea and vomiting and it induced postoperative muscle weakness.

Abstract
Hip OA is becoming more common, with a greater number of younger individuals undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). These individuals have the desire to return to considerable loading and in some instances return to sport. The purpose of this review was to investigate the current guidelines and/or protocols for hypertrophy or strengthening in individuals who have undergone total hip arthroplasty. A total of 16 papers were identified, some of which also addressed total knee arthroplasty. There is no consensus for the best practice for a hypertrophy program following THA especially regarding when a direct anterior approach was used during hip arthroplasty. Further research is needed as this is a growing area in rehabilitation. This review aims to bridge the gap by offering a comprehensive synthesis of the available literature on postoperative rehabilitation after THA, with a specific emphasis on identifying the most effective muscular strengthening and hypertrophy training programs for patients undergoing anterior approach hip surgery.

Abstract
For Crowe IV dysplasia, the clinical efficacy and surgical technique of subtrochanteric osteotomy (SO) within the direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (DAA-THA) was a subject of debate. This study aimed to describe the surgical technique and clinical outcomes in 11 cases of SO in DAA-THA and to summarize the relevant literature on this topic. Between June 2016 and June 2023, we retrospectively evaluated patients diagnosed with Crowe IV hip dysplasia at our institution. Criteria identified 11 patients who underwent SO during DAA-THA. Comprehensive data encompassing demographic information, radiological data, prosthetic implant type, and surgical intricacies were collected. In addition, an exhaustive review of existing case series literature was undertaken utilizing the PubMed databases. There were no revisions, deaths, dislocations, or infections. One hip (9.09%) had an intraoperative proximal split fracture, two hips (18.2%) had lower limb deep vein thrombosis, and one hip (9.09%) had symptoms of femoral nerve injury. Radiological data showed improved bilateral femoral offset, leg length discrepancy, and anatomical acetabular. During the mean follow-up of 2.18(1.06-2.46) years, patients demonstrated enhanced functional outcomes, with average changes of 25.2 in the Harris hip score and 47 in the WOMAC score. Reviewing the literature, most studies have favored S-ROM prostheses and transverse osteotomy techniques. Intraoperative fractures were notably frequent, with rates peaking at 25%. Nonunion and nerve injury were secondary common complications. SO via DAA-THA may offer satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes, but the literature review underscores the need for heightened awareness of intraoperative fracture risk. Proximal detachment of the vastus intermedius plays a pivotal role in SO exposure through the DAA.

[PMID: 38428691 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.02.066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous data suggest that obesity does not impact surgical outcomes following total knee arthroplasty performed by high-volume (HV) surgeons. However, this effect has yet to be studied in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of patient obesity on THA outcomes when surgery is performed by HV surgeons. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent primary, elective THA between January 2012 and December 2022 with a HV surgeon (top 25% of surgeons by number of annual primary THA) was performed. Patients were stratified by their body mass index (BMI) into 3 cohorts: BMI ≥ 40 (morbidly obese [MO]), 30 ≤ BMI < 40 (obese), and BMI < 30 (nonobese); and 1:1:1 propensity matched based on baseline characteristics. A total of 13,223 patients were evaluated, of which 669 patients were included in the final matched analysis (223 patients per group). The average number of annual THAs performed for HV surgeons was 171 cases. RESULTS The MO patients had significantly longer surgical times (P < .001) and hospital lengths of stay (P < .001). Rates of 90-day readmissions (P = .211) and all-cause, septic, and aseptic revisions at the latest follow-up (P = .268, P = .903, and P = .168, respectively) were comparable between groups. In a subanalysis for non-HV surgeons, MO patients had a significantly greater risk of revision (P = .021) and trended toward significantly greater readmissions (P = .056). CONCLUSIONS Clinical outcomes and complication rates after THA performed by a HV surgeon are similar regardless of patient obesity status. Patients who have MO may experience improved outcomes and reduced procedural risks if they are referred to HV surgeons. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

J Clin Med 2024; 13:1374. [PMID: 38592236 PMCID: PMC10932160 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13051374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Backgroumd: There have been few reports on the long-term survival of computed tomography (CT)-navigated total hip arthroplasty (THA), which should lead to a lower incidence of dislocation and loosening. In this study, we examined survivorship, dislocation, and loosening incidence using plain radiographs over a minimum 15-year follow-up after CT-navigated THA. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 145 consecutive CT-navigated THAs for >15 years. We surveyed the angles placed in both the acetabular and femoral components, survivorship, the occurrence of dislocation, the revision rate, and the fixation grade of the acetabular component. RESULTS The mean follow-up duration was 18.4 years. Overall, 73.8% of THAs were within the safe zone of Lewinnek. There were four dislocations (2.8%), with three occurring within 1 month after surgery and the other within 7 years after surgery. Revision THA was performed in one case (0.69%); consequently, the survival rate was 99.3%. The fixation grade was evaluated in 144 hips, and those were evaluated as having "no loosening". CONCLUSIONS CT-navigated THA was speculated to contribute to long-term survivorship, with a low rate of loosening, even after 18 years of follow-up. It was speculated that the acetabular component was placed at an acceptable insertion angle and a suitable position for stable initial fixation.

The Effect of Surgical Approach on the Outcomes of Same-Day Discharge Outpatient Total Hip Arthroplasty at a Single Ambulatory Surgery Center. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:398-401. [PMID: 37595765 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.08.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly being performed in the outpatient setting. However, there is little known regarding the differences in same-day discharge (SDD) rates and complications of operative approach in same-day total hip arthroplasty in the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) setting. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed between July 2019 and October 2021 for all patients who underwent primary THA in a single freestanding ASC. Successful SDDs, surgical approaches, lengths of surgery, estimated blood losses (EBL), complications, and readmission events were recorded for each patient. Complications were compared using Pearson Chi-Squares, while EBL and surgery lengths were compared with 1-way analysis of variances (ANOVA) (alpha = 0.5). There were 17 total complications in 326 total hip arthroplasties (5.2%), including direct admissions to the emergency department, 30-day and 90-day readmissions, wound complications, instability, infection, and revision surgery. Among all complications, there were 5 direct admissions, making the successful SDD rate 98.5%. RESULTS Complications and direct admissions were not associated with approach. The 30-day readmission rates were associated with approach, with no readmissions in the direct anterior approach (DAA) or the antero-lateral approach (AL) cohorts and 3 (4.3%) in the posterior approach (PA) cohort. CONCLUSIONS In the ASC setting, patients undergoing THA regardless of approach showed no difference in successful SDDs or complications aside from 30-day readmissions. Same-day THA can be safely performed in the DAA, AL, and PA to the hip.

World J Orthop 2024; 15:73-93. [PMID: 38293261 PMCID: PMC10824060 DOI: 10.5312/wjo.v15.i1.73] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty is as an effective intervention to relieve pain and improve hip function. Approaches of the hip have been exhaustively explored about pros and cons. The efficacy and the complications of hip approaches remains inconclusive. This study conducted an umbrella review to systematically appraise previous meta-analysis (MAs) including conventional posterior approach (PA), and minimally invasive surgeries as the lateral approach (LA), direct anterior approach (DAA), 2-incisions method, mini-lateral approach and the newest technique direct superior approach (DSA) or supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPath). AIM To compare the efficacy and complications of hip approaches that have been published in all MAs and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS MAs were identified from MEDLINE and Scopus from inception until 2023. RCTs were then updated from the latest MA to September 2023. This study included studies which compared hip approaches and reported at least one outcome such as Harris Hip Score (HHS), dislocation, intra-operative fracture, wound complication, nerve injury, operative time, operative blood loss, length of hospital stay, incision length and VAS pain. Data were independently selected, extracted and assessed by two reviewers. Network MA and cluster rank and surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) were estimated for treatment efficacy and safety. RESULTS Finally, twenty-eight MAs (40 RCTs), and 13 RCTs were retrieved. In total 47 RCTs were included for reanalysis. The results of corrected covered area showed high degree (13.80%). Among 47 RCTs, most of the studies were low risk of bias in part of random process and outcome reporting, while other domains were medium to high risk of bias. DAA significantly provided higher HHS at three months than PA [pooled unstandardized mean difference (USMD): 3.49, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.98, 6.00 with SUCRA: 85.9], followed by DSA/SuperPath (USMD: 1.57, 95%CI: -1.55, 4.69 with SUCRA: 57.6). All approaches had indifferent dislocation and intraoperative fracture rates. SUCRA comparing early functional outcome and composite complications (dislocation, intra-operative fracture, wound complication, and nerve injury) found DAA was the best approach followed by DSA/SuperPath. CONCLUSION DSA/SuperPath had better earlier functional outcome than PA, but still could not overcome the result of DAA. This technique might be the other preferred option with acceptable complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE To establish a multivariate linear equation to predict the diameter (outer diameter) of the acetabular prosthesis used in total hip arthroplasty. METHODS A cohort of 258 individuals who underwent THA at our medical facility were included in this study. The independent variables encompassed the patients' height, weight, foot length, gender, age, and surgical access. The dependent variable in this study was the diameter of the acetabular prosthesis utilized during the surgical procedure. The entire cohort dataset was randomly partitioned into a training cohort and a validation cohort, with a ratio of 7:3, employing the SPSS 26.0 software. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationships between the patients' height, weight, foot length, gender, age, surgical access, and the diameter of the acetabular prosthesis in the training cohort. Additionally, a multiple linear regression equation was developed using the independent variables from the training cohort and the diameter of the acetabular prosthesis as the dependent variable. This equation aimed to predict the diameter of the acetabular prosthesis based on the patients' characteristics. The accuracy of the equation was evaluated by substituting the data of the validation cohort into the multiple linear equation. The predicted acetabular prosthesis diameters were then compared with the actual diameters used in the operation. RESULTS The correlation analysis conducted on the training cohort revealed that surgical access (r = 0.054) and age (r = -0.120) exhibited no significant correlation with the diameter of the acetabular prosthesis utilized during the intraoperative procedure. Conversely, height (r = 0.687), weight (r = 0.654), foot length (r = 0.687), and sex (r = 0.354) demonstrated a significant correlation with the diameter of the acetabular prosthesis used intraoperatively. Furthermore, a predictive equation, denoted as Y (acetabular prosthesis diameter in mm) = 20.592 + 0.548 × foot length (cm) + 0.083 × height (cm) + 0.077 × weight (kg), was derived. This equation accurately predicted the diameter within one size with an accuracy rate of 64.94% and within two sizes with an accuracy rate of 94.81%. CONCLUSION Anthropometric data can accurately predict the diameter of acetabular prosthesis during total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A comparative study of joint amnesia in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty with the direct anterior approach and posterior approach was conducted through a comprehensive evaluation. METHODS The literature on joint amnesia in postoperative patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty by the direct anterior approach and the posterior approach was systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang, and VIP databases from the time of library construction until February 13, 2023. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software after independent searching, screening of the literature, data extraction, and quality assessment of the included studies by two investigators in strict accordance with the guidelines for conducting meta-analyses. RESULTS A total of one RCT and six cohort studies were included in this meta-analysis. Meta-analysis results indicated that at 1 month postoperatively (MD = 2.08, 95% CI (0.20, 3.96), P = 0.03), 3 months (MD = 10.08, 95% CI (1.20, 18.96), P = 0.03), and 1 year (MD = 6.74, 95% CI (1.30, 12.19), P = 0.02), DAA total hip arthroplasty was associated with better FJS compared to PA at 1 year postoperatively. However, there was no statistical significance in FJS between the two groups at 5 years postoperatively (MD = 1.35, 95% CI (- 0.58, 3.28), P = 0.17). CONCLUSION Current evidence suggests that the degree of joint amnesia after THA for DAA was not found to be superior to that of PA. Further, these findings require confirmation by including a larger number of high-quality randomized controlled studies. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The most common approaches in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have different complication profiles; anterior-approach (AA-THA) has an increased risk of periprosthetic fractures (PPF); posterior-approach (PA-THA) is associated with higher dislocation risk. However, the relative severity of one versus the other is unknown. This study aims to compare outcome of patients who suffered PPF after AA-THA with those that sustained dislocation after PA-THA. METHODS This is a retrospective, single-center, multi-surgeon, consecutive case-series of primary THA patients. In a cohort of 9867 patients who underwent THA, 79 fulfilled the approach-specific, post-operative complication criteria, of which 44 were PPF after AA-THA and 35 with dislocation after PA-THA (age 67.9 years (range: 38.0-88.1), 58.2% women). Outcome included complication- and revision- rates, and patient-reported outcomes including Oxford Hip Score (OHS). RESULTS At 5.8 years follow-up (range: 2.0-18.5), reoperation was more common in the dislocation after PA-THA group (23/35 vs. 20/44; p = 0.072). Change of surgical approach occurred in 15/20 of patients with PPF after AA-THA, but none in those with dislocation after PA-THA. Following re-operation, complication rate was greater in the PPF group (9/20 vs. 4/23; p = 0.049). At latest follow-up, OHS were superior in the PPF after AA-THA group [42.6 (range: 25.0-48.0) vs. 36.6 (range: 21.0-47.0); p = 0.006]. CONCLUSION Dislocation following PA-THA is more likely to require revision. However, PPF following AA-THA requires more often a different surgical approach and is at higher risk of complications. Despite the increased surgical burden post-operative PROMs are better in the peri-prosthetic fracture group, especially in cases not requiring reoperation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, case-control study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple surgical approaches are used for primary total hip arthroplasty (pTHA) and revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). This study sought to investigate prevalence of discordance of pTHA and rTHA surgical approaches and to evaluate how approach concordance impacts postoperative outcomes. METHODS A retrospective review of patients who underwent rTHA from 2000 to 2021 was conducted at 3 large urban academic centers. Patients who had minimum 1-year follow-up post-rTHA were included and grouped based on whether they received pTHA via a posterior (PA), direct anterior (DA), or laterally based (DL) approach, and by concordance of index rTHA approach with their pTHA approach. Of the 917 patients studied, 839 (91.5%) were included in the concordant cohort and 78 (8.5%) in the discordant cohort. Patient demographics, operative characteristics, and postoperative outcomes were compared. RESULTS Discordance was most prevalent in the DA-pTHA subset (29.5%), compared to the DL-pTHA subset (14.7%) or PA-pTHA subset (3.7%). Discordance varied significantly between primary approaches among all revisions, with DA-pTHA patients having the highest discordance rate for patients revised for aseptic loosening (46.3%, P < .001), fracture (22.2%, P < .001), and dislocation (33.3%, P < .001). There were no differences between groups in dislocation rate, re-revision for infection, or re-revision for fracture. CONCLUSION The results of this multicenter study showed patients who received pTHA via the DA were more likely to receive rTHA via a discordant approach compared to other primary approaches. Since approach concordance did not impact dislocation, infection, or fracture rates after rTHA, surgeons can feel reassured using a separate approach for rTHA.

[PMID: 38129648 PMCID: PMC10739891 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-50206-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim was to conduct a systematic review of literature and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing short-term outcomes of bipolar hemiarthroplasty (HA) through SuperPATH and bipolar HA through conventional approaches (CAs) in patients with femoral neck fractures. The following PICO question was formulated: In human participants with femoral neck fractures, are the short-term outcomes of SuperPATH HA better than the short-term outcomes of CAs HA? The following databases were searched until 25 August 2023: PubMed, CNKI, CENTRAL of The Cochrane Library, Clinical trials, and Google Scholar. Quality assessment of the RCTs was performed, according to the Cochrane's Risk of Bias 2 tool and the recommendations of the GRADE system. Furthermore, we evaluated publication bias with funnel plots. Mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for continuous variables using the Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman method and a random effects model. Nine RCTs with overall 762 patients were included in this meta-analysis. All 9 RCTs were rated with a moderate risk of bias. The quality of evidence of the outcome parameters was rated moderate to very low. The funnel plots were overall broadly symmetrical, possibly indicating low to moderate publication bias. SuperPATH had a longer operation time compared to CAs (MD = 21.79, 95% CI 12.57 to 31.02). SuperPATH decreased incision length (MD = - 4.50; 95% CI - 5.80 to - 3.20), intraoperative blood loss (MD = - 103.96, 95% CI - 150.27 to - 55.66), postoperative drainage volume (MD = - 137.30, 95% CI - 178.74 to - 95.86), time to mobilization (MD = - 3.86; 95% CI - 5.96 to - 1.76), pain VAS ≤ 1 week postoperatively (MD = - 1.81; 95% CI - 2.17 to - 1.45), and hospitalization time (MD = - 4.05; 95% CI - 4.96 to - 3.15). SuperPATH improved HHS ≤ 1 week postoperatively (MD = 11.10; 95% CI 1.65 to 20.54) and HHS 3 months postoperatively (MD = 6.33; 95% CI 3.97 to 8.69). There was no difference in pain VAS 1-3 months postoperatively (MD = - 0.08; 95% CI - 0.22 to 0.05) and HHS 6 months postoperatively (MD = 0.44; 95% CI - 0.11 to 1.00). This is the first meta-analysis comparing SuperPATH HA with CAs HA in patients with femoral neck fractures. SuperPATH HA was superior in the early short-term functional outcome (HHS) compared to CAs HA, reaching minimal clinically important differences. Furthermore, SuperPATH HA showed significantly better results in incision length, blood loss, time to mobilization, pain intensity (VAS), and hospitalization time than CAs HA.

Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the outcomes of THA in patients with osteonecrosis (ON) and those with osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Four databases were searched from inception till December 2022 for original studies that compared the outcomes of THA in ON and OA. The primary outcome was the revision rate; the secondary outcomes were dislocation and Harris hip score. This review was conducted in line with PRISMA guidelines, and the risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. RESULTS A total of 14 observational studies with 2,111,102 hips were included, with a mean age of 50.83 ± 9.32 and 55.51 ± 8.95 for ON and OA groups, respectively. The average follow-up was 7.25 ± 4.6 years. There was a statistically significant difference in revision rate between ON and OA patients in favour of OA (OR: 1.576; 95%CI: 1.24-2.00; p-value: 0.0015). However, dislocation rate (OR: 1.5004; 95%CI: 0.92-2.43; p-value: 0.0916) and Haris hip score (HHS) (SMD: - 0.0486; 95%CI: - 0.35-0.25; p-value: 0.6987) were comparable across both groups. Further sub-analysis adjusting for registry data also showed similar results between both groups. CONCLUSION A higher revision rate, periprosthetic fracture and periprosthetic joint infection following total hip arthroplasty were associated with osteonecrosis of the femoral head compared with osteoarthritis. However, both groups had similar dislocation rates and functional outcome measures. This finding should be applied in context due to potential confounding factors, including patient's age and activity level.

Abstract
Aims Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) injury is a potential complication after the direct anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty (DAA-THA). The aim of this study was to determine how the location of the fasciotomy in DAA-THA affects LFCN injury. Methods In this trial, 134 patients were randomized into a lateral fasciotomy (n = 67) or a conventional fasciotomy (n = 67) group. This study was a dual-centre, double-blind, prospective randomized controlled two-arm trial with parallel group design and a 1:1 allocation ratio. The primary endpoint was the presence of LFCN injury, which was determined by the presence of numbness, decreased sensation, tingling, jolt-like sensation, or pain over the lateral aspect of the thigh, excluding the surgical scar, using a patient-based questionnaire. The secondary endpoints were patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC), Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ), and the Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12). Assessments were obtained three months after surgery. Results The incidence of LFCN injury tended to be lower in the lateral fasciotomy group (p = 0.089). In the lateral fasciotomy group, there were no significant differences in the mean PROM scores between patients with and without LFCN injury (FJS-12: 54.42 (SD 15.77) vs 65.06 (SD 26.14); p = 0.074; JHEQ: 55.21 (SD 12.10) vs 59.72 (SD 16.50); p = 0.288; WOMAC: 82.45 (SD 6.84) vs 84.40 (SD 17.91); p = 0.728). In the conventional fasciotomy group, there were significant differences in FJS-12 and JHEQ between patients with and without LFCN injury (FJS-12: 43.21 (SD 23.08) vs 67.28 (SD 20.47); p < 0.001; JHEQ: 49.52 (SD 13.97) vs 59.59 (SD 15.18); p = 0.012); however, there was no significant difference in WOMAC (76.63 (SD 16.81) vs 84.16 (SD 15.94); p = 0.107). Conclusion The incidence of LFCN injury at three months after THA was comparable between the lateral and conventional fasciotomy groups. Further studies are needed to assess the long-term effects of these approaches.

Abstract
Background Intraoperative pelvic motion during total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the supine position affects acetabular cup placement and occurs at each step of THA; however, there are no reports of pelvic motion changes during each stage of THA via the direct anterior approach (DAA). This study aimed to evaluate pelvic motion at each step of THA through the DAA. Methods From March to October 2022, 71 hips were prospectively measured for intraoperative pelvic tilt and axial rotation during THA through the DAA at a single center. These parameters were measured during each surgical step using the augmented reality-hip navigation system. Results Both pelvic tilt and axial rotation were maximal during acetabular cup placement. The mean intraoperative pelvic tilt and axial rotation during cup placement were 4.8 ± 2.6° (95% confidence interval, 4.19-5.41°) and 4.2 ± 3.3° (95% confidence interval, 3.42-4.98°), respectively. The effects of the acetabular retractor and cup impactor on pelvic tilt and axial rotation were comparable. Spearman's correlation tests showed significant correlation between axial rotation and body mass index (r = -0.444, P = .00011). Conclusions The pelvis tilts forward and rotates toward the surgical side during THA through the DAA. The effects of the acetabular retractor and cup impactor on pelvic motion are comparable. Cup implantation must take into account pelvic movement, and it must be recognized that the pelvis is moving at that time, even with only the acetabular retractor inserted, compared to before the skin incision.

Abstract
Purpose Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potential major complication in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the incidence of VTE following THA using anterolateral supine approach (ALS) has not been reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of perioperative VTE and the distribution and characteristics of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following ALS THA. Patients and Methods This retrospective single-arm study analyzed the 182 consecutive hips of 164 patients who underwent primary ALS THA. Pharmacological prophylaxis consisted of enoxaparin 20 mg twice daily for approximately 6 days starting 24 h postoperatively until duplex ultrasonography was performed to determine whether postoperative DVT was present. DVT was assessed by whole-leg Doppler ultrasound, and the location and characteristics of any thrombus were recorded. If pulmonary thromboembolism was suspected, contrast-enhanced computed tomography was performed. Results The overall incidence of VTE was 9.9% for DVT (18/182 hips) and 0.5% for pulmonary thromboembolism (1/182 hips). Most DVTs were in the soleal vein on the affected side and showed isoechoic or hypoechoic echogenicity. All thrombi were non-floating. Conclusion Following ALS THA with standard pharmacological prophylaxis and an early weight-bearing protocol, the incidence of perioperative DVT was approximately 10%, mostly occurring in the lower leg.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the accuracy and safety of a newly constructed robotic arm which can cover the whole process of THA, we performed a series of robot-assisted total hip replacement on the cadaver. METHODS Fifteen frozen cadaveric specimens (30 hips) were used for this study. In this investigation, united hip system and Longwell robotic-assisted system were used. The entire lower limb was CT scanned prior to surgery. The 3D model was produced based on CT data; the site of the prosthesis, including acetabular anteversion, inclination angle, and the position of femoral prosthesis, was planned. With the assistance of a robotic arm, the surgeon changed the parameters based on the preoperative plan and the actual condition during surgery, and completed the whole procedure. Following surgery, we measured the acetabular anteversion angle, acetabular inclination angle, femur anteversion angle, combined anteversion angle, stem angulation, and canal fill ratio. RESULTS The parameters proved that the acetabular anteversion angle was 16.85 ± 3.00°, the acetabular inclination angle was 40.38 ± 5.37°, femur anteversion angle was 15.90 ± 9.01°, combined anteversion angle was 32.75 ± 9.03°, stem angulation was 1.84 ± 0.99°, and leg length discrepancy was 2.47 ± 1.43 mm. The canal fill ratio (CFR) of femoral prosthesis of osteotomy line in sagittal section is 99.72 ± 1.54% and in coronal section is 62.94 ± 8.91%; below osteotomy line 2.5 cm in sagittal section is 100.00% and in coronal section is 81.48 ± 12.94%; below osteotomy line 7.5 cm in sagittal section is 59.51 ± 12.94% and in coronal section is 89.79 ± 11.13%; femoral shaft isthmus in sagittal section is 56.41 ± 13.80% and in coronal section is 84.95 ± 15.17%. CONCLUSION The accuracy and safety of this novel robotic arm are suitable for preparing both the acetabular and femoral sides, providing evidence for clinical trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an orthopaedic procedure that improves the quality of life in patients suffering from hip pain related to osteoarthritis, fractures, and avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Different surgical approaches can be used for THA leading to different recovery times. Because of the lowering medium age of people undergoing THA, it is important to focus on the earlier return of physiological activity after surgery. AIM To evaluate the best approach for THA in terms of earlier return to activity. METHOD Studies comparing the postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent THA through different approaches were analysed focusing on patients' self-reported outcomes, ADL score and UCLA activity score with a short follow-up. RESULTS A total of 1990 articles were identified in the search, and 14 met the inclusion criteria. The Review Manager software version 5.4 was used to conduct a meta-analysis to compare the direct anterior (DAA) and posterior (PA) approaches, which are the most adopted approaches. An earlier return to walk without aids and to independent ADLs were reported with DAA, but without statistical significance (respectively p = 0.06 and p = 0.10). The time to return to drive was similar among the 2 groups (p = 0.88). The return to work was faster with PA, but no statistical significance was reported (p = 0.47). CONCLUSIONS Further studies are needed with a larger number of patients, that present homogeneous outcomes, follow-ups and rehabilitation programmes, and that compare similar surgical approaches to assess the early return to activity of daily living after THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased complication rates have been reported during the learning curve for direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, emerging literature suggests that complications associated with the learning curve may be substantially reduced with fellowship training. METHODS Our institutional database was queried to identify 2 groups: (1) 600 THAs comprised of the first 300 consecutive cases performed by 2 DAA fellowship-trained surgeons; and (2) 600 posterolateral approach (PA) THAs, including the most recent 300 primary cases performed by 2 experienced PA surgeons. All-cause complications, revision rates, reoperations, operative times, and transfusion rates were evaluated. RESULTS Comparing DAA and PA cases, there were no significant differences in rates of all-cause complications (DAA = 18, 3.0% versus PA = 23, 3.8%; P = .43), periprosthetic fractures (DAA = 5, 0.8% versus PA = 10, 1.7%; P = .19), wound complications (DAA = 7, 1.2% versus PA = 2, 0.3%; P = .09), dislocations (DAA = 2, 0.3% versus PA = 8, 1.3%, P = .06), or revisions (DAA = 2, 0.3% versus PL = 5, 0.8%; P = .45) at 120 days postoperatively. There were 4 patients who required reoperation for wound complications, all within the DAA group (DAA = 4, 0.67% versus PA = 0; P = .045). Operative times were shorter in the DAA group (DAA <1.5 hours = 93% versus PA <1.5 hours = 86%; P < .01). No blood transfusions were given in either group. CONCLUSION In this retrospective study, DAA THAs performed by fellowship-trained surgeons early in practice were not associated with higher complication rates compared to THAs performed by experienced PA surgeons. These results suggest that fellowship training may allow DAA surgeons to complete their learning curve period with complication rates similar to experienced PA surgeons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While there has been much interest in the increased dislocation rate in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients with a lumbar spine fusion (LSF), there is minimal literature comparing the risk based on surgical approach. The purpose of this study was to determine if a direct anterior (DA) approach was protective against dislocation when compared to the anterolateral and posterior approaches in this high-risk patient population. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of 6554 THAs performed at our institution from January 2011 to May 2021. 294 (4.5%) patients had a prior LSF and were included in the analysis. The surgical approach, timing of LSF in relation to THA, vertebral levels fused, timing of THA dislocation, and the need for revision surgery were recorded for statistical analysis. RESULTS In total, 39.7.3% of patients underwent a DA approach (n = 117), 25.9% underwent an anterolateral approach (n = 76), and 34.3% underwent a posterior approach (n = 101). There was no difference in number of vertebral levels fused between groups (mean 2.5, all p > 0.05). There was a total of 13 (4.4%) THA dislocation events, with an average time from surgery to dislocation of 5.6 months (0.3-30.5 months). There were fewer dislocations in the DA cohort (0.9%) in comparison to both the anterolateral (6.6%, p = 0.036) and posterior groups (6.9%, p = 0.026). CONCLUSIONS The DA approach demonstrated a significantly lower THA dislocation rate compared to both the anterolateral and posterior approaches in patients with a concomitant LSF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare perioperative, 90-day, and 1-year postoperative complications and outcomes between the direct anterior approach (DAA) and the posterior approach for total hip arthroplasty in geriatric patients with displaced femoral neck fractures (FNFs). DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Multicenter Health care Consortium. PATIENTS Seven-hundred and nine patients 60 years or older with acute displaced FNFs between 2009 and 2021. INTERVENTION Total hip arthroplasty using either DAA or posterior approach. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Rates of postoperative complications including dislocations, reoperations, and mortality at 90 days and 1 year postoperatively. Secondary outcome measures included ambulation capacity at discharge, ambulation distance with inpatient physical therapy, discharge disposition, and narcotic prescription quantities (morphine milligram equivalents). RESULTS Through a multivariable regression analysis, DAA was associated with significantly shorter operative time ( B = -6.89 minutes; 95% confidence interval [CI] -12.84 to -0.93; P = 0.024), lower likelihood of blood transfusion during the index hospital stay (adjusted odds ratios = 0.54; 95% CI 0.27 to 0.96; P = 0.045), and decreased average narcotic prescription amounts at 90 days (B = -230.45 morphine milligram equivalents; 95% CI -440.24 to -78.66; P = 0.035) postoperatively. There were no significant differences in medical complications, dislocations, reoperations, and mortality at 90 days and 1 year postoperatively. CONCLUSION When comparing the DAA versus posterior approach for total hip arthroplasty performed for displaced FNF, DAA was associated with shorter operative time, lower likelihood of blood transfusion, and lower 90-day postoperative narcotic prescription amounts.

Selective THA-approach use amongst junior surgeons improves safety of introducing the anterior approach: a prospective, multi-surgeon, comparative, study. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023; 143:6829-6836. [PMID: 37119326 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-023-04895-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Learning curves associated with independent practice and anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (AA-THA) has been associated with inferior outcome. This study compared outcome of junior, fellowship-trained, surgeons who perform THA through both anterior and posterior (PA) approach, with senior surgeons who perform either AA or PA, to determine whether: 1. Fellowship training and selective practice allows for safe introduction of AA into practice; and 2. Whether selective approach-use influences outcome. METHODS This is a prospective, consecutive study comparing the first 800 THAs of two junior, dual-approach, surgeons (AA/PA: 455/345), with 400 THAs cases of two senior, single-approach, surgeons (AA/PA: 200/200), between 2018 and 2020. Most patients were female (54.4%), mean age was 65 years-old (range 19-96) and mean BMI was 29 kg/m2 (range 16-66). Outcome included radiologic measurements (inclination/anteversion and leg-length), complication- and revision rates, and patient-reported outcomes including Oxford Hip Score (OHS). RESULTS At 3.1 years (range 2.0-6.8) follow-up, there were 43 complications (3.6%), including 27 re-operations (2.3%); with no difference between junior and senior surgeons for AA-THA (Junior: 8/455 vs. Senior: 3/200; p = 0.355) or PA-THA (Junior: 11/345 vs. Senior: 5/200; p = 0.400). Amongst juniors, there was no difference in complications (AA:8/455 vs. PA:11/345; p = 0.140) and in ΔOHS (AA:20.5 ± 7.7 vs. PA:20.5 ± 8.0; p = 0.581) between approaches. CONCLUSION Contemporary training and selective approach-use minimizes the learning curve, allowing junior staff to have equivalent outcome to established, senior surgeons in both AA and PA. We would advocate for selective approach use amongst junior arthroplasty surgeons when introducing the AA into independent practice.

Abstract
While total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains effective for improvement of pain and function in patients with osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis, there remain areas of continued pursuit of excellence, including decreasing rates of dislocation, leg length discrepancy, implant loosening, and infection. This review article covers several bearing surfaces and articulations, computer-assisted navigation and robotic technology, and minimally invasive surgical approaches that have sought to improve such outcomes. Perhaps the most significant improvement to THA implant longevity has been the broad adoption of highly cross-linked polyethylene, with low wear rates. Similarly, navigation and robotic technology has proven to more reproducibly achieve intraoperative component positioning, which has demonstrated clinical benefit with decreased risk of dislocation in a number of studies. Given the projected increase in THA over the coming decades, continued investigation of effective incorporation of technology, soft tissue-sparing approaches, and durable implants is imperative to continued pursuit of improved outcomes in THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The anterior minimally invasive (AMI) approach reduces soft tissue damage, risk of dislocation and enhances recovery, but it is associated with certain complications. The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) through posterolateral (PL) and AMI approaches performed by the same surgeon, in order to determine the learning curve associated with this new approach. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent THA via PL and AMI approach between 2017 and 2022, with a minimum follow-up of 1 year. Hip fracture and oncologic patients were excluded. Demographic variables, functional scores and perioperative complications were assessed. A bivariate analysis was performed to identify differences between groups. RESULTS Data of 124 AMI and 120 PL patients were analyzed. Demographic characteristics among groups were homogeneous. Functional outcomes at 3 months were superior for AMI (Oxford: 43 vs. 38; p < 0.05), no dislocations were identified (0% vs. 4.2%; p < 0.05) and no differences in the transfusion rate were found (6.5% AMI vs. 6.7% PL; p = 0.996). Infection rate was 4% for AMI and 3.4% for PL (p = 0.572). Surgical time was shorter for the PL approach, but the median surgical time of the last 25 AMI cases was shorter. CONCLUSIONS The AMI approach is an excellent alternative for patients requiring THA. Although surgical time and perioperative bleeding were greater during the learning curve, this approach offers improved functional outcomes and a lower dislocation rate, without significant differences in transfusion and infection outcomes, demonstrating that responsible innovation and safe implementation of new techniques is possible.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum level of hemoglobin and neurological outcomes following cardiac arrest. Relevant studies were identified by searching electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase from June 2012 through April 2023. Articles were rigorously reviewed for their study inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pooled effect date was determined using the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate study quality. Subgroup analyses were conducted to determine confounding factors affecting patient outcomes. Study heterogeneity, sensitivity, and publication bias were also determined.This meta-analysis included 11 studies involving 2519 patients. Our results suggest that high serum level of hemoglobin may improve neurological prognosis(SMD = 0.60, 95%CI = 0.49-0.71, I2 = 10.85). The findings of this study indicate that serum level of hemoglobin may be associated with better neurological prognosis, perhaps an appropriate increase in serum haemoglobin levels can improve the neurological prognosis of patients in cardiac arrest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The contemporary patient has access to numerous resources on common orthopaedic procedures before ever presenting for a clinical evaluation. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven chatbots have become mainstream, allowing patients to engage with interfaces that supply convincing, human-like responses to prompts. ChatGPT (OpenAI), a recently developed AI-based chat technology, is one such application that has garnered rapid growth in popularity. Given the likelihood that patients may soon call on this technology for preoperative education, we sought to determine whether ChatGPT could appropriately answer frequently asked questions regarding total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS Ten frequently asked questions regarding total hip arthroplasty were posed to the chatbot during a conversation thread, with no follow-up questions or repetition. Each response was analyzed for accuracy with use of an evidence-based approach. Responses were rated as "excellent response not requiring clarification," "satisfactory requiring minimal clarification," "satisfactory requiring moderate clarification," or "unsatisfactory requiring substantial clarification." RESULTS Of the responses given by the chatbot, only 1 received an "unsatisfactory" rating; 2 did not require any correction, and the majority required either minimal (4 of 10) or moderate (3 of 10) clarification. Although several responses required nuanced clarification, the chatbot's responses were generally unbiased and evidence-based, even for controversial topics. CONCLUSIONS The chatbot effectively provided evidence-based responses to questions commonly asked by patients prior to THA. The chatbot presented information in a way that most patients would be able to understand. This resource may serve as a valuable clinical tool for patient education and understanding prior to orthopaedic consultation in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the aging of the population, the incidence of medial femoral neck fractures is likely to increase, and along them the need for total hip replacement. The present study aimed to analyze whether the use of the direct anterior hip approach, compared with posterolateral approach in medial proximal femur fracture patients, results in any advantage in terms of complications rate and functional recovery. METHODS A total of 162 patients were included in the study, and divided by approach: 100 performed with direct anterior approach (group A) and 62 with posterolateral approach (group B). The two populations were overlapping in age (75 vs 74 years; p = 0.13), sex (58F 42M vs 46F 16M; p = 0.12) and BMI (24 vs 24; p = 0.77). RESULTS Group A showed a higher ASA score compared to group B (3 vs 2; p = 0.04). Similar hospital stays (7 vs 7 days; p = 0.55) and complication rates (6% vs 8%; p = 0.61) were observed among groups, the most frequent being periprosthetic fractures, and need for allogeneic blood transfusion (20% vs 13%; p = 0.25). Patients in group A (96 vs 85 min; p = 0.10) showed a slightly, longer surgical time and a faster postoperative functional recovery witnessed by the ability to climb stairs at hospital discharge (37% vs 21%; p = 0.041). CONCLUSION The use of the direct anterior hip approach was effective in the management of frail patients with medial femoral neck fractures managed by total hip arthroplasty, allowing faster functional recovery in the elderly population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are several approaches to THA, and each has their respective advantages and disadvantages. Previous meta-analysis included non-randomised studies that introduce further heterogeneity and bias to the evidence presented. This meta-analysis aims to present level I evidence by comparing functional outcomes, peri-operative parameters and complications of direct anterior approach (DAA) versus posterior approach (PA) or lateral approach (LA) in THA. PATIENTS AND METHODS A comprehensive multi-database search (PubMed, OVID Medline, EMBASE) was conducted from date of database inception to 1st December 2020. Data from randomised controlled trials comparing outcomes of DAA versus PA or LA in THA were extracted and analysed. RESULTS Twenty-four studies comprising 2010 patients were included in this meta-analysis. DAA has a longer operative time (MD = 17.38 min, 95%CI: 12.28, 22.47 min, P < 0.001) but a shorter length of stay compared to PA (MD = - 0.33 days, 95%CI: - 0.55, - 0.11 days, P = 0.003). There was no difference in operative time or length of stay when comparing DAA versus LA. DAA also had significantly better HHS than PA at 6 weeks (MD = 8.00, 95%CI: 5.85, 10.15, P < 0.001) and LA at 12 weeks (MD = 2.23, 95%CI: 0.31, 4.15, P = 0.02). There was no significant difference in risk of neurapraxia for DAA versus LA or in risk of dislocations, periprosthetic fractures or VTE between DAA and PA or DAA and LA. CONCLUSION The DAA has better early functional outcomes with shorter mean length of stay but was associated with a longer operative time than PA. There was no difference in risk of dislocations, neurapraxias, periprosthetic fractures or VTE between approaches. Based on our results, choice of THA approach should ultimately be guided by surgeon experience, surgeon preference and patient factors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I Meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was the evaluation of pain, function, and overall satisfaction after total hip arthroplasty (THA) using three different standard surgical approaches (DAA (direct anterior approach), lateral, and posterior approach) 2 years postoperatively. Additionally, we compared the results with recently published results of the same study population 6 weeks postoperatively. METHODS In a multisurgeon, prospective, single-center cohort study, a total of initial 188 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) between February 2019 and April 2019 were analyzed on pain, function, and satisfaction within the first days, 6 weeks, and 2 years postoperatively according to three different approaches (DAA, lateral, and posterior approach). Our research group recently published results directly and 6 weeks postoperatively. We evaluated the same study collectively 2 years postoperatively and compared the results with the data 6 weeks postoperatively. One hundred twenty-five patients could be included. Outcome parameters for the present study were the pain level according to the visual analogue scale (VAS), the modified Harris hip score (mHHS), and an overall satisfaction scale 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS Mean overall satisfaction 2 years postoperatively was 9.7 ± 1 (3-10). Satisfaction was significantly better for the DAA than for the lateral approach (p = 0.005). There were no significant differences between the lateral and posterior approaches (p = 0.06) and between the DAA and the posterior approaches (p = 0.11). In total, the mean pain level was 0.4 ± 0.9 (0-5) at 6 weeks and 0.5 ± 1.1 (0-7) at 2 years postoperatively (p = 0.3). Regarding the different approach groups, pain levels 6 weeks and 2 years postoperatively were significantly lower for the DAA than for the lateral approach (p = 0.02). There were no significant differences between DAA and posterior approach (p = 0.05) and the lateral and posterior approach (p = 0.26). The mean mHHS significantly increased from 84.7 + 14.5 (37.4-100) 6 weeks to 95 + 12.5 (23.1-100.1) 2 years postoperatively (p < 0.0001). Regarding the different approaches, mHHS was significantly higher for the DAA than for the lateral approach (p = 0.03). Differences between the DAA and the posterior approach (p = 0.11) and between the lateral and posterior approaches (p = 0.24) were insignificant. CONCLUSION At 2 years postoperative, DAA showed significantly better overall satisfaction, pain level, and mHHS than the lateral approach. The differences between DAA and the posterior approach and lateral and posterior approaches were insignificant. Whether the superior results of the DAA to the lateral approach persist over a longer period must be clarified by further studies. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study, level of evidence 2.

Stock LA, Johnson AH, Brennan JC, MacDonald J, Turcotte JJ, King PJ. The Impact of Total Hip Arthroplasty Surgical Approach on Short-Term Postoperative and Patient-Reported Outcomes. Cureus 2023; 15:e45456. [PMID: 37859922 PMCID: PMC10583628 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.45456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Background While multiple studies have compared outcomes between the direct anterior approach (DAA) and posterolateral (PL) total hip arthroplasty (THA), the debate over the optimal approach remains. Proponents of the DAA suggest that its muscle-sparing properties and unrestricted rehabilitation facilitate a more rapid return to function. The majority of studies demonstrate that patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are similar between approaches beyond the one-year timeframe, but results are mixed when evaluating earlier time points. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and PROs between DAA and PL THAs at six weeks postoperatively. Methods A retrospective review of 749 primary THAs (151 PL, 598 DAA) from March 2020 to November 2022 was performed. All surgeries were performed by one of the five board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons. All patients completed Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-Physical Function (PROMIS-PF) questionnaires preoperatively and at six weeks postoperatively. A univariate comparison of clinical outcomes (length of stay (LOS), home discharge rate, 90-day ED returns, and readmissions) and six-week PROMIS-PF scores between approaches was performed. Multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of the approach on outcomes after adjusting for baseline differences between groups. Results Patients undergoing DAA THA experienced significantly shorter average LOS (0.71 vs. 1.36 days, p<0.001), higher rates of home discharge (99.0 vs. 92.1%, p<0.001), and lower rates of 90-day readmissions (0.7 vs. 6.0%, p<0.001) than those undergoing the PL approach. At six weeks postoperatively, DAA patients achieved higher average PROMIS-PF scores (42.2 vs. 39.9, p=0.001). After adjusting for the Charlson Comorbidity Index and baseline physical function, the DAA was significantly associated with shorter LOS (β=-0.52, p<0.001), increased odds of home discharge (OR=5.70, p=0.001), reduced risk of 90-day readmission (OR=0.14, p=0.001), and higher PROMIS-PF scores at six weeks postoperatively (β=1.37, p=0.045). Conclusion In comparison to patients undergoing PL THA, those treated using the DAA experienced improved clinical and PROs over the six-week postoperative period. While both approaches resulted in satisfactory outcomes, these results support the assertion that DAA THA may result in more rapid recovery and return to function.

J Arthroplasty 2023; 38:S300-S305. [PMID: 37236286 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.05.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Concerns have been voiced regarding how surgical approach impacts risk of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study investigated how surgical approach impacts rate, direction, and timing of dislocations following THA. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 13,335 primary THAs from 2011 to 2020 and identified 118 patients with prosthetic hip dislocation. Patients were stratified into cohorts by surgical approach used during primary THA. Patient demographics, index THA acetabular cup positioning, number, direction, timing of dislocations, and subsequent revisions were collected. RESULTS Dislocation rate differed significantly between posterior approach (PA), direct anterior approach (DAA), and laterally-based approach (LA) (1.1 versus 0.7% versus 0.5%, P = .026). Rate of hips dislocating anteriorly was lowest in the PA group (19.2%) compared to LA (50.0%) and DAA groups (38.2%, P = .044). There was no difference in rate of hips dislocating posteriorly (P = .159) or multidirectional (P = .508) instability; notably 58.8% of dislocations in the DAA cohort occurred posteriorly. There were no differences in dislocation timing or revision rate. Acetabular anteversion was highest in the PA cohort compared to DAA and LA (21.5 versus 19.2 versus 11.7 degrees, P = .049). CONCLUSION After THA, patients in the PA group had a slightly higher dislocation rate compared to the DAA and LA groups. The PA group had a lower rate of anterior dislocation and nearly 60% of DAA dislocations occurred posteriorly. However, with no differences in other parameters including revision rates or timing, our data suggests surgical approach may impact dislocation characteristics to a lesser degree than previous studies have suggested.

Abstract
CASE We report two patients, a 43-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, with bilateral absence of the upper extremity and severe hip osteoarthritis. The involved hip was the dominant extremity for both patients. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) was performed using a posterior approach with dual-mobility implants. Both patients report satisfactory outcomes including the ability to perform the significant range of motion required for daily activities such as toe-to-head motion. CONCLUSION In patients with extreme range of motion requirements such as those affected with bilateral upper-limb amelia, a posterior THA with a dual-mobility implant may be safely and successfully performed to treat disabling hip osteoarthritis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The direct anterior approach (DAA) and the posterior approach (PA) are 2 common total hip arthroplasty (THA) exposures. This prospective study quantitatively compared changes in periarticular muscle volume after DAA and PA THA. MATERIALS 19 patients undergoing THA were recruited prospectively from the practices of 3 fellowship-trained hip surgeons. Each surgeon performed a single approach, DAA or PA. Enrolled patients underwent a preoperative MRI of the affected hip and two subsequent postoperative MRIs at around 6 weeks and 6 months after surgery. Clinical evaluations were done by Harris Hip Score at each follow-up interval. RESULTS MRIs or 10 DAA and 9 PA patients were analysed. Groups did not differ significantly with regard to BMI, age, or preoperative muscle volume. 1 DAA patient suffered a periprosthetic fracture and was excluded from the study. DAA hips showed significant atrophy in the obturator internus (-37.3%) muscle at early follow-up, with persistent atrophy of this muscle at the final follow-up. PA hips showed significant atrophy in the obturator internus (-46.8%) and externus (-16.0%), piriformis (-8.12%), and quadratus femoris muscles (-13.1%) at early follow-up, with persistent atrophy of these muscles at final follow-up. Loss of anterior capsular integrity was present at final follow-up in 2/10 DAA hips while loss of posterior capsular integrity was present in 5/9 PA hips. There was no difference in clinical outcomes. DISCUSSION This study demonstrates that DAA showed less persistent muscular atrophy than PA. Regardless of surgical approach, a muscle whose tendon is detached from its insertion is likely to demonstrate persistent atrophy 6 months following THA. Although the study was not powered to compare clinical outcomes, it should be noted that no significant difference in patient outcomes was observed.
