Prior femoroacetabular osteoplasty does not compromise the clinical outcome of subsequent total hip arthroplasty
Journal of Arthroplasty Nov 24, 2020
Vahedi H, Yacovelli S, Rezaie AA, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate clinical outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) after a prior femoroacetabular osteoplasty (FAO) and compared the outcomes with a matched group of patients who underwent THA with no prior surgical procedures in the affected hip. Researchers distinguished 74 hips (69 patients) that had undergone the THA after previous FAO between 2004 and 2017 by reviewing the prospectively maintained database. Modified Harris Hip Score, 90-day readmission, and revision THA for any reason were compared between the groups at a minimum 2-year follow-up. The findings revealed that THA after prior FAO has similar outcomes to primary THA in patients with no prior procedures in the affected hip. In patients with a history of FAO, THA can be conducted safely with excellent outcomes.
