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 />
