    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Hip Reconstruction
    • Musculoskeletal Disorders

    Background:

    • Girdlestone's procedure is a salvage operation for severe hip joint diseases.
    • Outcomes require evaluation for patient benefit and surgical refinement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the long-term outcomes of Girdlestone's hip surgery.
    • To correlate results with disease type, patient age, and time since operation.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 43 patients (48 hips) undergoing Girdlestone's procedure.
    • Post-operative assessment included pain, range of motion, gait, and patient satisfaction.
    • Data analyzed based on disease etiology, patient demographics, and follow-up duration (2.5–13 years).

    Main Results:

    • Significant reduction in pain reported by a considerable number of patients.
    • Improvements observed in range of motion and gait.
    • Overall patient satisfaction was high, with a perceived beneficial effect on their condition.

    Conclusions:

    • Girdlestone's procedure can lead to favorable outcomes in patients with hip diseases.
    • The surgery offers pain relief and functional improvement, enhancing patient quality of life.
    • Patient-reported benefits support the continued use of this salvage procedure in select cases.
