Brief summary

The study compares the effects of various anesthetic techniques on anterior approach total hip arthroplasty results retrospectively

Detailed description

Under general (GA) or spinal anesthesia (SA), total hip arthroplasty using the anterior approach (THA-A) can be safely performed. The best method is not sufficiently described in the literature currently in existence.This observational study was carried out at a single facility with consecutive enrollment of patients getting primary THA-A. The investigators compared the difference in complication rates, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, and duration of surgery, acetabular and femoral component orientation and stem subsidence.

Interventions

PROCEDURETotal Hip Arthroplasty

Patients that underwent direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty

PROCEDUREGeneral Anesthesia

Patients that underwent general/systemic anesthesia before surgery

PROCEDURESpinal Anesthesia

Patients that underwent spinal/neuraxial anesthesia before surgery

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
acetabular abductionpostoperative 1 yearabduction degree of acetabular component after surgery
Mean intraoperative estimated blood lossfrom preoperative session to postoperative 1 dayTotal blood volume was calculates according to Nadler's formula based on patient's sex, height and weight of the patient, whereas the estimated blood loss was calculated according to Meunier's formula (mL)
mean duration of surgeryfrom preoperative session to postoperative 1 dayDuration of total hip arthroplasty surgery for each patient
length of hospital stayfrom the date of total hip arthroplasty operation until the day that patients discharge, assesed up to 7 daysfrom date of operation until the date of discharge
stem subsidencepostoperative 1 yearSubsidence was evaluated by comparing immediate post-operative radiographic images with those obtained at 1 year follow-up. Subsidence was measured as a vertical drop of stem, characterised by a radiolucent line at the proximal most aspect of the bone-prosthesis interface.
stem varus/valgus degreespostoperative 1 yearvarus or valgus angulation of femoral stem after surgery
