Clinical outcomes of proximal femoral reconstruction technique combined with THA in the treatment of high dislocation secondary to septic arthritis: a retrospective single-center study

Abstract Purpose The aim of this retrospective study was to examine the clinical outcomes and complications of proximal femur reconstruction (PFR) combined with total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with high hip dislocation secondary to septic arthritis (SA). Methods Between September 2016 to Se...

description Abstract Purpose The aim of this retrospective study was to examine the clinical outcomes and complications of proximal femur reconstruction (PFR) combined with total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with high hip dislocation secondary to septic arthritis (SA). Methods Between September 2016 to September 2021, we performed a series of 15 consecutive PFR combined with THA on patients with high dislocation of the hip secondary to SA, of these,12 hips were reviewed retrospectively, with a mean follow-up of 2.5 years (range, 1.5-6 years). The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 52 years (range, 40–70 years). Results All patients were followed up. At 1-year postoperative follow-up, the median HHS increased from 32.50 preoperatively to 79.50 postoperatively. The median VAS decreased from 7 before surgery to 2 at 1 year after surgery. The median LLD reduced from 45 mm preoperatively to 8 mm at 1 year after surgery. The mean operative time 125 ± 15 min (range 103-195 min). Mean estimated blood loss was500 ± 105ml (range 450–870 ml). Mean hospital days 9.5 days (range 6–15 days). Two patients developed nerve injuries that improved after nutritional nerve treatment. One patient had recurrent postoperative dislocation and underwent reoperation, with no recurrence dislocation during the follow-up. There were no cases of prosthesis loosening during the follow-up period. One patient developed acute postoperative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) that was treated with Debridement, Antibiotics and Implant Retention (DAIR) plus anti-infective therapy, with no recurrence during 2 years of follow-up. Conclusion This study indicates PFR combined with THA shows promise as a technique to manage high hip dislocation secondary to SA, improving early outcomes related to pain, function, and limb length discrepancy.
