Hip offset parameters and functional outcomes following total hip arthroplasty: association with performance, strength, and patient-reported outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Restoring native hip offset is considered important for optimizing function following total hip arthroplasty (THA), yet the relationships between offset parameters and postoperative outcomes remain inconsistently reported. This study investigated the associations between femoral offset (FO), acetabular offset (AO), and global offset (GO) with functional mobility, hip abductor strength, and postoperative pain.

Methods

A total of 69 patients (mean age: 69.6 years) with unilateral THA were assessed at an average follow-up of 3.3 years. Offset parameters were measured radiographically and classified as decreased, restored, or increased relative to the contralateral hip. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the Western Ontario and
