ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective surgical treatment for severe osteoarthritis of the hip. While THA is considered a reliable and safe procedure, outcome data on patients who have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is limited. The purpose of this study was to compare rates of postoperative complications after primary THA in patients who have EDS against matched controls.METHODS:
A large national database was searched to identify patients who underwent THA between 2009 and 2020. Patients younger than 18 years, those who have a history of prior THA, and those undergoing THA for a hip fracture were excluded from analysis. Propensity score matching was utilized to match patients who had EDS with patients who did not have EDS at a 14 ratio. Rates of medical and surgical complications at 90 days and 2 years were queried and compared between the cohorts using multivariable logistic regression. We identified 118 patients who had EDS and underwent primary THA, who were then matched with 418 controls.RESULTS:
At 90 days, the EDS cohort had greater rates of dislocation (8.5 versus 3.8%, P = 0.038). At 2 years, the EDS cohort had greater odds of dislocation (OR [odds ratio] 2.47, P = 0.018), aseptic loosening (OR 6.91, P = 0.002), and aseptic revision (OR 2.66, P = 0.02).CONCLUSIONS:
Patients who have EDS possess significantly higher odds of complications after THA compared to matched controls, including dislocation, aseptic loosening, and aseptic revision. Careful surgical planning in these patients should be made to prevent dislocation and potentially minimize the risk of other prosthesis-related complications leading to revision.
