Effects of Previous Osteotomy on Outcome of Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty
2017
The effect of previous conservative surgeries on the outcome of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) has not been studied. This study compared postoperative clinical scores and survivorship results of hips with and without previous osteotomies in a population of patients who underwent HRA. A total of 1101 patients (1375 hips) with a mean age of 51.3 years at the time of surgery underwent HRA at a single center. Sixty-nine patients had undergone prior surgery on the operated hip including 14 osteotomies (1 pelvic, 6 femoral, and 7 combined pelvic and femoral osteotomies). Mean follow-up was comparable for patients with prior osteotomy and patients in the control group (101 months vs 96 months, P=.6916); however, patients with prior osteotomies were much younger at the time of surgery (34 years vs 51 years, P=.0001). Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were calculated, and the Cox proportional hazard ratio was used to adjust for the covariates that differed between the 2 groups and affected the survivorship of hip resurfacing. Patients who underwent prior osteotomy showed lower pain and activity scores. In addition, patients who underwent prior osteotomy had a greater chance of revision than the rest of the cohort (hazard ratio, 3.87; 95% confidence interval, 1.54-9.68; P=.004). For patients in whom the natural anatomy or the bone quality of the hip has been severely altered by a prior osteotomy, HRA may be contraindicated if good component fixation cannot be achieved and hip biomechanics restored.
