Mini-open Femoroacetabular Osteoplasty in Patients With T önnis Grade 2 or Higher Osteoarthritis is Associated With a Higher Risk of Subsequent Conversion to THA

CONCLUSION: In our study, approximately 25% of patients undergoing mini-open femoroacetabular osteoplasty with Tönnis Grade 2 or higher osteoarthritis underwent conversion to THA within 5 years. Some postoperative functional scores were lower in patients with advanced arthritis than in matched patients with no or mild arthritis. We emphasize the importance of exercising caution when considering femoroacetabular osteoplasty in patients in whom advanced arthritis is already evident at the time of presentation.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, therapeutic study.PMID:38170724 | DOI:10.1097/CORR.0000000000002944
