RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents a constellation of interrelated conditions including insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The goals of this study are to determine the impact of MetS on implant survivorship, complications, and clinical outcomes after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS: Utilizing our institutional total joint registry, 1,268 patients undergoing primary THA were identified with MetS based on the World Health Organization definition and matched 1:1 to those without MetS based on age, gender, and surgical year. MetS patients were further stratified according to the World Health Organization body mass index (BMI) classification to contextualize obesity. Kaplan-Meier analyses were utilized to compare survivorship free of any reoperation, revision, and complications. Clinical outcomes were assessed with Harris hip scores. Mean follow-up after THA was 5 years. RESULTS: MetS patients had significantly worse 5-year survivorship free from any reoperation compared to those without MetS (93.5% vs 96.1%, respectively; hazard ratio [HR] 1.4, P = .04). When stratifying MetS and BMI classification, the BMI >40 kg/m2 had significantly decreased 5-year implant survivorship free from any reoperation (85.9% vs 96.1%, HR 3.4, P < .001), any revision (91.7% vs 97.3%, HR 2.7, P < .001), and reoperation for periprosthetic joint infection (95% vs 99%, HR 5.1, P < .001). Both groups experienced significant and similar improvement in final Harris hip scores (P < .001). CONCLUSION: Patients with MetS had a 1.4-fold increased risk of reoperation after primary THA compared to a matched cohort without the condition. MetS patients with a BMI >40 kg/m2 had the highest risk of reoperation, and had a significantly higher revision and periprosthetic joint infection rates, suggesting that morbid obesity remains a critical, independent risk factor beyond MetS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 3, Case-control study.

BACKGROUND: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed for displaced femoral neck fractures (FNF) is becoming a more frequent treatment in the active elderly population. The complication profiles associated with THA surgical approaches in the fracture setting are unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare a series of THA for FNF performed via the direct anterior (DA) approach vs alternative approaches (anterolateral and posterolateral). METHODS: A retrospective review identified 52 patients who underwent primary THA for FNF between 2009 and 2018, including 20 via the DA approach and 32 by alternative approaches. All procedures were exclusively performed by high-volume arthroplasty surgeons. Perioperative results, complications, and clinical outcomes were compared with those of routine statistical methods. Mean follow-up duration was 3 years (range, 1-8). RESULTS: The average age was 74 years (range, 57-92) with similar baseline characteristics between the 2 groups (P = .09). The DA cohort demonstrated significantly shorter length of stay (3 days vs 5 days, P < .01) and discharge to home vs skilled nursing facility (40.0% vs 9.4% P = .014). There was a trend toward decreased complications (0% vs 16%, P = .08). There were no dislocations or fractures in either cohort. Final Harris Hip Scores (94 vs 81, P = .07) and return to community ambulation (96%) were similar between DA and alternative approach groups. CONCLUSION: The DA approach to THA performed for FNF appears safe with improved outcomes compared with alternative approaches. Larger studies are needed to verify these results.
