Cementless total hip arthroplasty for adult patients with sequelae from childhood hip infection: a medium-term follow-up study

Journal of Arthroplasty Mar 25, 2020

Zhang L, et al. - Researchers assessed midterm clinical and radiographic results of total hip arthroplasties (THAs) with cementless implants for adult patients with sequelae from childhood hip infection. This study included a total of 165 individuals (165 hips) who had a hip infection during childhood were treated with THAs with cementless implants between 2002 and 2016 and average duration of follow-up was 93.5 months (range 26-206). Via the Harris Hip Score, clinical outcomes were analyzed and via postoperative serial x-rays, radiographic outcomes were examined. It was indicated that cementless THA for adult individuals with sequelae from childhood hip infection shows significant technical challenges and a relatively high complication rate. The medium-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of THA in this setting were good with high implant survivorship and patient satisfaction, with meticulous surgical planning and anticipation for the key technical challenges frequently encountered.
