Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA) and a concomitant lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) might have an increased incidence of revision surgery and postoperative complications such as early THA dislocation. The direct anterior approach (DAA) has gained popularity in THA due to its soft tissue-preserving nature and the relatively low dislocation risk. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether LSF patients undergoing minimally invasive THA through the DAA might have an increased risk of prosthetic-related complications compared to matched-control patients without a LSF. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who underwent THA through the DAA in our institution from January 2014 to December 2018 were identified. A total of 30 primary THA also underwent LSF within 3 months from the initial operation. These patients were randomly matched (1:3) for sex, age, and body mass index with patients who underwent primary THA in our institution without a history of LSF (control group). Peri and postoperative complications, revisions, radiographic and clinical outcomes were assessed retrospectively. RESULTS: LSF patients who underwent THA through the DAA did not have an increased risk of prosthetic-related complications compared to matched-control subjects without a LSF (6.6% versus 4.4%, P < 0.05). The functional and radiological outcomes were similar between groups. CONCLUSION: LSF patients undergoing THA could benefit from the DAA similarly to patients without LSF and without increased rate of early THA dislocation. Although the complex interplay between the lumbar spine and hip in THA patients warrants further investigation, the outcomes of THA through the DAA in LSF patients appear promising. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Retrospective case-control study, III.
