Spinopelvic mobility is influenced by pre-existing contralateral hip arthroplasty: a matched-pair analysis in patients undergoing hip replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spinopelvic mobility gained increased attention as a contributing factor for total hip arthroplasty (THA) instability. However, it is unknown how a pre-existing THA affects spinopelvic mobility. Therefore, a propensity-score-matched analysis of primary THA patients comparing the individual segments of spinopelvic mobility between patients with pre-existing THA and no-existing THA was conducted. Consequently, the study aimed to discuss (1) whether patients with a pre-existing THA have altered spinopelvic mobility compared to the control group and (2) if spinopelvic mobility changes after THA.

Methods

A prospective observational study enrolled 197 elective primary THA patients, including N = 44 patients with a pre-existing unilateral THA. Using propensity-score matc
