Patients received either a standard head (32 mm) or a large head (36 or 40 mm), and were assessed at a mean follow-up of 5 years for dislocation and 2.2 years for quality of life (QOL). Results indicated that dislocation rates were lower in patients who received the large head, while there was no difference in QOL between the two groups.

مؤشر الهشاشة هو أداة تساعد في تفسير النتائج المهمة، وتوفر مقياسًا لقوة النتيجة. ويمثل مؤشر الهشاشة عدد الأحداث المتتالية التي يجب إضافتها إلى نتيجة ثنائية التفرع لجعل النتيجة غير مهمة. يمثل الرقم الصغير نتيجة أضعف ويمثل الرقم الكبير نتيجة أقوى.
لماذا كانت هناك حاجة لهذه الدراسة الآن؟
Dislocation following revision THA is one of the most common complications. While larger heads have become available to surgeons (where it's head-to-neck ratio could prevent dislocation), there are very few studies that address the effect of head size in revision THA. Hence, this study aimed to determine whether a large femoral head (36 or 40 mm) would result in a decreased dislocation rate compared to a standard head (32 mm) in revision THA.
ما هو سؤال البحث الرئيسي؟
Will a large femoral head result in a reduction in dislocation rates after revision THA compared to a standard head, assessed over 5 years?
- The rate of dislocation was lower for the large-head group (1.1% or 1 of 92) than for the standard-head group (8.7% or 8 of 92) (p = 0.035).
- Of the 8 patients with dislocations in the standard-head group, 5 required no further surgery while the other 3 required further surgery to stabilize the hips; the one patient in the large-head group who was dislocated required further surgery to stabilize the hips.
- Improvements in all QOL scores from preoperative values were observed in both groups; the only score that was different between the two groups at follow-up was the SF-36 mental component, with the large-head group scoring higher than the standard-head group (p = 0.043).
ما الذي يجب أن أتذكره أكثر؟
This study demonstrated that there was a significant decrease in dislocation rates when larger 36- or 40-mm heads were used in comparison to standard 32 mm heads. However, no significant difference was observed in terms of quality of life between both groups (except the SF-36 mental component, which favoured the large-head group).
كيف سيؤثر ذلك على رعاية مرضاي؟
The results of this study suggest that large-heads should be routinely selected when performing revision THA. However, the effects of using larger heads must be further studied to better understand long-term outcomes of these prostheses.
