Association between physical measures of spinopelvic alignment and physical functioning with patient reported outcome measures after total hip arthroplasty: Systematic review and narrative synthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasing, making optimizing post-surgery outcomes essential. Co-occurrence of low back pain (LBP) is frequently reported. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are commonly used to evaluate outcomes but have limitations, and physical measures may have value. This study evaluated association between 1] physical measures of spinopelvic alignment (measuring from spine to the pelvis) and physical functioning with PROMs after THA, and 2] physical measures with LBP.

Methods

Systematic review (PROSPERO: CRD42023412744) searched electronic databases, grey literature, and key journals to 31/5/2024 for cross-sectional and longitudinal studies assessing associations following THA. Two independent reviewers evaluated eli
