Need for bilateral arthroplasty for coxarthrosis 1, 477 replacements in 1, 199 patients followed for 0-14 years

Abstract: During the 10-year period 1981-1990, 1,199 patients in the county of South Jutland, Denmark, had 1,477 primary total hip arthroplasties (THA) performed because of primary arthrosis (OA). The patients were followed until the end of 1994, with a mean follow-up of 5.6 (0-14) years. Bilateral operations were performed on 356 patients, whereas 248 patients had died with only 1 THA. The cumulated risk of replacement of the contralateral hip was approximately 0.15 1 year after replacement of the first hip, 0.20 after… Show more

“…[3, 33] There is also an increased risk for endstage OA leading to joint replacement in the hip (or knee) contralateral to that of a replaced hip (or knee). [34, 35] Shakoor et al [18] extended these observations to include a greater risk of subsequent replacement of a "non-cognate" joint in the lower extremity contralateral to a replaced joint (e.g. a knee contralateral to a replaced hip).…”

“…However, after THR, the hip and knee on the limb contralateral to a replaced hip joint are at an elevated risk for joint degeneration and joint replacement (TJR) [1][2][3]. It is known that abnormal joint loading is involved in OA progression and possibly initiation [4,5]; therefore it is possible that the elevated risk of contralateral TJR arises because loading patterns during gait are changed after THR in a way that promotes faster joint degeneration.…”

“…In patients with bilateral disease, the chance of subsequent contralateral THA after unilateral THA is anywhere from 16% to 85% [10,12,[19][20][21][22]. Factors related to subsequent joint arthroplasty in the contralateral joint are described as the radiographic grade of the joint [10,21] and patient age [17,21] at index arthroplasty.…”
