Abstract
Background As operative techniques and implant design have evolved over time, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly being carried out for patients with neurological impairment. This patient group places unique surgical challenges to the arthroplasty surgeon, which may include contractures, instability, and altered muscular tone. The purpose of this systematic review is to report the patient outcomes, complications, and implant survival following THA for patients with neurological conditions affecting the hip. Thus, we aim to support orthopaedic surgeon decision-making when considering and planning THA for these patients. Methods A systematic review was performed as per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines using the PubMed/Medline OVID, Cochrane, and Embase databases. All studies reporting the outcomes of THA in the neurological population which met defined inclusion criteria were included. Results From an initial screen of 1820 studies, 45 studies with a total of 36,251 THAs were included in the final selection. All 45 studies reported complication rates, with controls included in 16 for comparison. High complication rates were observed following THA in the neurologically impaired population, most notably dislocation with observed rates up to 10.6%. An improvement was noted in all 36 studies (1811 THAs) which reported upon patient-reported outcomes. Conclusions THA may be beneficial in the selected patients with neurological conditions, to reduce pain and improve function. There is an increased risk of complications which require careful consideration when planning the operation and open discussion with prospective patients and caregivers before proceeding with surgery.

Effectiveness of Surgical Treatment for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy in Preventing Falls and Fall-related Neurological Deterioration: A Prospective Multi-institutional Study.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Prospective multi-center study. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatment in reducing falls and fall-related neurological deterioration in a prospective cohort of patients undergoing surgery for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Current evidence is limited for the effectiveness of surgical interventions for DCM in reducing the risk of fall-related neurological deterioration. METHODS Patients with DCM scheduled for surgical treatment were enrolled prospectively at eight participating institutes. At the time of enrollment, participants were given diaries to record details of their falls, to be returned at the 1-year postoperative follow-up. In the fall diary, patients were asked whether they had experienced any deterioration in neurological symptoms at each fall episode. Deterioration of neurological symptoms was categorized as follows: only deterioration of sensory function in the limbs; or deterioration of motor deficits. The incidence rate of falls was calculated separately for the preoperative and postoperative periods, as the total number of falls divided by the time over which falls were monitored (100 person-years). Functional outcome was assessed with the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and Neck Disability Index. RESULTS Of the initial 168 participants, 159 completed the 1-year follow-up, and 132 fall diaries were retrieved and analyzed. Of these 132 patients, 65 (49%) reported at least one fall during the survey period. The incidence rate of falls decreased significantly from 497.4 to 90.3 falls per 100 person-years after surgery. The incidence of motor deterioration per fall decreased significantly from 34% to 8% after surgery. Patients who experienced preoperative fall-related motor deterioration had a significantly lower JOA score compared with patients without fall-related motor deterioration at 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSION Surgical intervention for DCM is effective not only in reducing the frequency of falls, but also in reducing the risk of fall-related deterioration of motor deficits. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 2.
