To study the clinical outcome of total hip arthroplasty

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of total hip arthroplasty at our institution.Material and Methods: A prospective and retrospective analysis of one hundred patients who underwent total hip replacement was conducted. Prior to the operation, all patients underwent a standard clinical and laboratory evaluation that included routine investigations and concise information regarding their age, sex, address, and clinical history. Clinical evaluation was used to document preoperative range of motion, deformities, and their values for the study. The Modified Harris hip scoring was performed both preoperatively and postoperatively, with follow-up conducted at four-week, six-month, one-year, and annual intervals.Results: The subjects of this research comprised individuals aged between 21 and 70 years, with an average age of 45.5±1.15 years at the time of the procedure. AVN constituted the primary indication for surgical intervention in 72 patients (72%). The average Harris hip score prior to surgery was 35.77. The overall mean score following the procedure was 70.44. Twenty-four percent of patients experienced stress shielding as a complication.Conclusion: Clinical and functional outcomes are favorable with or without cement in total hip arthroplasty, and this is predicated by a number of variables, including the indication for the procedure, the implantation of the prosthesis, and the operative technique. It is necessary to assess the outcomes of the procedure through long-term studies.
