Effects of types and degrees of ankylosing spondylitis hip structural damages on post-total hip arthroplasty outcome measurements.

ABSTRACT: To determine the effects of ankylosing spondylitis (AS)-associated hip damages on the outcome measurements after total hip arthroplasty (THA).The medical records of 122 patients with AS (181 hips) who underwent THA were retrospectively reviewed. The mean follow-up was 43.9 (32-129) months. The types and degrees of hip damages were evaluated by preoperative hip X-rays. The patients were grouped according to the satisfaction degree after the operation. Univariable and multivariable statistical analyses were conducted.The intraclass correlation coefficients for the assessment between the 2 reviewers in the study were 0.86 to 0.97. Cox regression showed that femoral head erosion severity had an effect on the recovery time of independent walking without crutches postoperatively (odds ratio = 1.
