Does rotational acetabular osteotomy affect subsequent total hip arthroplasty?

摘要

Rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) has been used successfully in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). However, some patients are forced to undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) because of the progression of osteoarthritis. We evaluated the effect of previous RAO on the outcome of THA performed for degenerative arthritis secondary to DDH, comparing outcomes for patients with THA and prior RAO versus outcomes for patients with THA and no prior RAO.
