Introduction
In hip osteoarthritis, hip flexion contracture can severely alter the patient’s alignment, and, therefore, affect the patient’s quality of life (QOL). Hip contracture is not well-studied, partly because of the difficulties of its diagnosis. The aim of this study was to propose a quantitative definition of hip flexion contracture, and to analyse sagittal alignment in these patients compared to non-contracture ones, before and 12 months after total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Materials and methods
Consecutive patients with hip arthrosis and an indication for THA were included (N = 123). Sagittal full-body radiographs were acquired in free standing position and in extension. QOL questionnaires were administered before and after surgery. Spinopelvic parameters were measured, including the pelvic–femur angle (PFA). Patients with low pelvic incidence (< 45°) were included in the hip contracture group if PFA > 5°, or PFA > -5° when pelvic incidence ≥ 45°.
Results
29% of patients were in the hip flexion contracture group, and they showed lower pelvic tilt than the no-contracture group (p < 0.001), larger lumbar lordosis (LL) and smaller PI-LL (p < 0.001), as well as a forward position of the head. 16% of patients still had hip contracture 12-months postop. Contracture patients showed higher QOL scores after surgery.
Conclusions
The proposed method to diagnose hip contracture group allowed to define a group of patients who showed a specific pattern of sagittal spinopelvic alignment. These patients improved their alignment and quality of life postoperatively, but their hip mobility was not always restored. Diagnosing these patients is a first step toward the development of more specific surgical approaches, aiming to improve their surgical outcome.
