Spinal fusion and total hip arthroplasty: why timing is important

CONCLUSIONS: Prior LSF has been demonstrated to increase the risk of postoperative dislocation in patients undergoing THA. The results of the present study demonstrate increased dislocations with LSF-THA compared to THA-LSF. For "hip spine syndrome" patients requiring both LSF and THA, it may be more beneficial to undergo THA prior to LSF. Arthroplasty surgeons may wish to collaborate with spinal surgeons to ensure optimal outcomes for this group of patients.PMID:37644619 | DOI:10.1177/11207000231197420
