Perioperative Outcomes and Complications After Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients With Disproportionately Short Stature: A Matched Cohort Analysis

“…Moreover, body height <148 cm (p = 0.011) was an independent risk factor for persistent disability (Table 2). A short stature, de ned by a body height of <148 cm, can lead to an atypical load distribution on the spine and a delay in the process of ossi cation [13]. The proportion of patients with a short stature in our study group was higher than the 0.8% rate reported by Anis et al [13] (Table 1).…”

“…A short stature, de ned by a body height of <148 cm, can lead to an atypical load distribution on the spine and a delay in the process of ossi cation [13]. The proportion of patients with a short stature in our study group was higher than the 0.8% rate reported by Anis et al [13] (Table 1). We did identify that patients with a T1PA/PI >0.2 were shorter than the others (p = 0.021) ( Table 3).…”

“…To identify independent risk factors for the residual disability group, logistic regression analyses were performed. Factors, such as age, sex, body height, body mass index, spinopelvic parameters, and surgeon experience, were analysed using an exploratory univariate analysis followed by a multivariate analysis [1,4,7,13,[15][16][17]21]. Surgeons were trichotomised into the following groups: orthopaedic specialists <8 years', 8-15 years', and ≥15 years' experience after certi cation [15].…”

“…This argument is important to evaluate, considering the recognition of the importance of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in today's healthcare system. Furthermore, most large databases, such as the national joint registry or multi-centre studies, are limited to the analysis of PROMs, implant longevity, or complications [12][13][14][15][16][17]. However, no study has investigated the relationship between spinopelvic alignment and patient disability after THA.…”

“…Factors, such as age, sex, body height, body mass index, spinopelvic parameters, and surgeon experience, were analysed using an exploratory univariate analysis followed by a multivariate analysis [ 1 , 4 , 7 , 13 , 15 – 17 , 22 ]. Short stature was typically defined as a height < 147.23 cm by legal standards [ 13 ]. Surgeons were classified into the following groups: orthopaedic specialists < 8 years’, 8–15 years’, and ≥ 15 years’ experience after certification [ 15 ].…”
