Objective:
To determine the incidence of dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty using a posterior approach with repair of capsule and transosseous external rotators.
Material And Method:
Historical cohort study between January 2009 and December 2015 of all the cases of dislocation of primary total hip arthroplasty operated using a posterior approach with repair of capsule and transosseous external rotators. Demographic and clinical data concerning the patient, surgery and dislocation were collected and analyzed. A descriptive analysis and a study of survival and risk function were performed by Kaplan Meier's method considering the appearance of a hip dislocation as the final event.
Results:
The incidence of dislocation in our study was 1.2% (23 patients). In our study, the highest probability of dislocation occurred in the first 120 days. Forty-three point 5percent of the dislocated patients needed revision surgery.
Conclusions:
Capsular repair and transosseous reattachment of the external rotators can help to reduce the incidence of dislocation in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty through a posterior approach.
