    Summary

    Total hip replacement outcomes vary. Men with less education and more pre-surgery pain had poorer results. Women with poorer outcomes showed increased psychological distress post-surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Psychological Health

    Background:

    • Total hip replacement (THR) is a common procedure to alleviate pain and improve function.
    • Understanding factors influencing THR success is crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Pre-operative patient characteristics may impact post-operative results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate factors associated with the success of total hip replacement surgery.
    • To identify demographic, pre-operative, and psychological predictors of THR outcomes.
    • To compare outcomes between male and female patient groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a hip evaluation form to assess surgical success.
    • Compared two groups of THR patients based on relative surgical success.

  • Analyzed demographic variables, pre-operative pain, ambulation, and functional handicaps.
  • Administered the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) post-surgery for psychological assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • For men, poorer surgical outcomes were linked to lower education levels, higher retirement status, greater pre-operative pain, reduced ambulation, and more functional handicaps.
    • No significant pre-operative demographic or hip evaluation differences were found between successful and less successful surgical groups for women.
    • Post-surgery, women with less successful THR outcomes reported more physical symptoms, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal difficulties via the MMPI.

    Conclusions:

    • Socioeconomic and pre-operative functional factors appear to influence THR outcomes in men.
    • Psychological factors, including physical symptoms, anxiety, depression, and social difficulties, are associated with poorer THR outcomes in women.
    • Tailored post-operative psychological support may benefit women undergoing total hip replacement.
