Abstract
BACKGROUND: There has been constant discussion about whether the clinical outcome of THA after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is equivalent to that after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, there have been few reports about patient-reported outcomes (PRO) for those who undergo THA after PAO. We compared the pre- and postoperative PRO of patients who underwent THA after PAO and those who underwent primary THA alone. METHODS: We performed a case-control study. Twenty-seven patients (29 hips) underwent THA after PAO (osteotomy group); their mean age at surgery was 57.2 years, and they underwent postoperative follow-up for a mean period of 3.0 years. For the control group, after matching age, sex, and Crowe classification, we included 54 patients (58 joints) who underwent primary THA for hip dysplasia. Assessment performed preoperatively and at the last follow-up included the Harris hip score, the Short Form 36 (SF-36) for the Physical Component Summary (PCS), Mental Component Summary (MCS), and Role/Social Component Summary (RCS) domains, Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip-Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ) for pain, movement, and mental health, and the visual analog scale (VAS) score of hip pain and satisfaction. RESULTS: The two groups demonstrated no significant difference in the preoperative Harris hip score, each domain of the SF-36, JHEQ, and the VAS score of hip pain and satisfaction. The osteotomy group demonstrated significantly poor Harris hip scores for gait and activity, and JHEQ for movement at the last follow-up. There was no significant difference in each domain of the SF-36 and the VAS score of hip pain and satisfaction at the last follow-up. CONCLUSION: Previous PAO affects the quality of physical function in patients who undergo subsequent THA.
