Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Reconstructive surgery

Context:

  • The Girdlestone procedure is a salvage operation for severe hip joint destruction.
  • Assessing long-term outcomes of Girdlestone pseudarthrosis for hip prosthesis.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate patient satisfaction and functional outcomes following Girdlestone hip reconstruction.
  • To identify factors influencing success in Girdlestone pseudarthrosis.

Summary:

  • A follow-up study of 17 patients who underwent Girdlestone hip prosthesis implantation revealed mixed results.
  • Seven patients reported satisfaction, while the remaining ten experienced pain, limited mobility, and reduced range of motion.
  • The procedure is technically demanding and should be considered for a select group with adequate abductor muscle function and prior unsatisfactory outcomes.
