Is Timing of Total Hip Arthroplasty and Lumbar Spine Fusion Associated With Risk of Hip Dislocation?

ABSTRACT:

Background

In patients with concomitant hip and lumbar spine disease, the question of which surgery-total hip arthroplasty (THA) or lumbar spine fusion (LSF)-to address first has not been adequately answered. We aimed to evaluate the risk of dislocation after THA in patients with LSF first or after THA.

Methods

Retrospective review utilizing the PearlDiver database querying Current Procedural Terminology codes for LSF in the year prior (LSF first) or in the year after primary or revision THA (THA first). International Classification of Disease codes identified postoperative hip dislocation as our primary outcome variable. Demographic data collected included age, sex, and obesity. Dislocation rates were described as a proportion of the cohort and compared with chi-square test
