    This study assessed work capacity after Chiari pelvic osteotomy for hip subluxation. Older age significantly reduced walking speed, and stair climbing worsened, indicating limited functional recovery despite surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomechanical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Chiari pelvic osteotomy is a surgical procedure to treat hip subluxation.
    • Assessing functional outcomes after this surgery is crucial for patient recovery.
    • Unilateral hip subluxation can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and work capacity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the work capacity of women following a Chiari pelvic osteotomy for symptomatic unilateral hip subluxation.
    • To determine the relationship between age, pain, and functional outcomes after the procedure.
    • To compare functional test results with conventional clinical assessments.

    Main Methods:

    • 26 women underwent Chiari pelvic osteotomy for unilateral hip subluxation.

  • Work capacity was assessed using a 12-minute maximal walking speed test.
  • Stair climbing time was measured as another functional capacity indicator.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant linear decline in walking speed was observed with increasing age post-surgery.
    • 54% of patients showed increased stair climbing time compared to controls, correlating negatively with walking speed.
    • Age-adjusted walking speed correlated with pain levels, but not with range of motion or radiographic findings.

    Conclusions:

    • Chiari pelvic osteotomy did not fully restore work capacity, especially in older patients.
    • Functional limitations, particularly reduced walking speed and increased stair climbing time, persist after surgery.
    • Clinical assessments of hip range of motion and radiographic appearance do not reliably predict functional outcomes.
