Summary
This study analyzed hip osteoarthritis surgery incidence in Romania, finding it predominantly affects women over 60. Data informs orthopedic treatment strategies for coxarthrosis.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Rheumatology
- Epidemiology
Background:
- Hip osteoarthritis (coxarthrosis) involves progressive cartilage damage and biomechanical changes in the hip joint.
- It is a significant degenerative condition, particularly impacting the elderly population.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the incidence of hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis.
- To analyze patient demographics including age, gender, and living conditions.
- To identify the types of hip arthroplasty procedures performed.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 485 patients with hip osteoarthritis.
- Data collected from the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology.
- Hospitalization period: January 2014 to December 2019.
Main Results:
- Hip osteoarthritis predominantly affects patients over 60 (87.83%).
- Women are more frequently impacted than men, with a 2:1 female-to-male ratio.
- The study identified specific demographic distributions within the patient cohort.
Conclusions:
- Hip osteoarthritis surgery is most common in elderly women.
- Understanding demographic factors is crucial for targeted treatment and resource allocation.
- Further research can refine management strategies for coxarthrosis.
