Abstract
BACKGROUND Core decompression is a minimally invasive joint-preserving approach for early-stage osteonecrosis. The rate at which core decompression patients require total hip arthroplasty (THA) and rates of perioperative adverse outcomes have not been well-characterized. METHODS Adult patients undergoing core decompression and/or THA with osteonecrosis of the femoral head were identified from the 2015 to 2021 Q3 PearlDiver M157 database. Those undergoing THA without or with antecedent core decompression were identified and matched 4:1 on age, sex, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index. Postoperative 90-day adverse events were compared with multivariable analysis. Five-year rates of revision, dislocation, and periprosthetic fracture were compared by the Kaplan-Meier curve and log-rank tests. RESULTS Core decompressions were identified for 3,025 patients of whom 387 (12.8%) went on to THA within 5 years (64% within the first year). The median time from initial core decompression to THA was 252 days. For THA, 26,209 adults were identified and 387 had prior core decompression. After matching, there were 1,320 without core decompression and 339 with core decompression. No statistically significant differences were observed in 90-day postoperative adverse events or 5-year rates of revision, dislocation, or periprosthetic fracture. CONCLUSION Core decompression may be an option for patients with osteonecrosis and does not seem to affect THA outcomes if required later.

Total hip arthroplasty for failed internal fixation of femoral neck fracture: a retrospective study with 2-14 years' follow-up of 345 patients. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:341. [PMID: 37161494 PMCID: PMC10169472 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03827-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to analyze mid- to long-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) following failed internal fixation of femoral neck fracture. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed 345 patients with femoral neck fracture who underwent THA after failure of internal fixation at our hospital between January, 2003 and December, 2019. Patients older than 55 years (n = 175) and patients no older than 55 years (n = 170) were compared in terms of complications and survival rates during follow-up, which lasted a mean of 6 years. RESULTS The two age groups showed similarly low incidence of complications and similarly long periods of survival without revision surgery. Only three younger patients and two older patients underwent revision surgery during follow-up. The two groups showed similarly high survival rates at the end of follow-up (> 93%). Younger patients showed significantly bettter Harris hip score at last follow-up (90.2 vs. 88.1 points, p < 0.001) without clinically significant difference, but they required THA significantly earlier after internal fixation (4.4 vs. 6.8 years, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS THA after failed internal fixation of femoral neck fracture is a well tolerated and effective procedure in older and younger patients.
