Retrospective cross- sectional<br />
Aim: examine if pre- surgical<br />
clinical presentation and short<br />
term functional outcomes<br />
differ between service users<br />
sub- groups undergoing <strong>hip</strong><br />
joint <strong>replacement</strong> for end<br />
stage <strong>hip</strong> osteoarthritis<br />
Recruitment: records <strong>of</strong> 1000<br />
consecutive THRs. From this<br />
cohort two groups identified<br />
– non- traumatic and those<br />
with past <strong>hip</strong> fracture history.<br />
n=42 in each group<br />
Male: female ratio = 17:25<br />
Mean age:<br />
No trauma group 72.28 years<br />
Trauma group 74.05 years<br />
<strong>Total</strong> <strong>hip</strong> <strong>replacement</strong>. Pre- surgery: factors<br />
considered included body<br />
mass index, co- morbidity,<br />
duration <strong>of</strong> condition,<br />
pain, baseline <strong>hip</strong> flexion<br />
and internal rotation<br />
range <strong>of</strong> movement, presurgical<br />
walking status,<br />
leg strength<br />
Post- surgery: walking<br />
distance at 1 and 3 days.<br />
Those with traumatic fracture<br />
history reported:<br />
• More frequent use <strong>of</strong> mobility<br />
devices and dependency on<br />
wheelchair<br />
• Pre- surgical device use more<br />
prevalent (p=0.023) and poorer<br />
ambulatory function and stair<br />
climbing ability (p=0.001)<br />
• Lower rate <strong>of</strong> functional recovery<br />
post- operatively.<br />
Overall suggests those with prior <strong>hip</strong><br />
fracture history have longer<br />
duration <strong>of</strong> disability and are more<br />
functionally impaired pre- surgery<br />
