Short to mid-term functional outcomes and early blood loss of THA in patients with developmental hip dysplasia after childhood open surgery versus primary osteoarthritis

Key Points

• The study aims to assess the functional outcomes and early blood loss post-THA in patients with a history of developmental hip dysplasia compared to those with primary osteoarthritis.
• Observational study design
• Comparison of postoperative outcomes between two patient groups
• Assessment of early blood loss
• Evaluation of preoperative functional status
• Postoperative functional outcomes are mainly influenced by preoperative functional status.
• Prior open surgery for developmental hip dysplasia does not significantly affect early blood loss.
• Findings stress the need for effective preoperative counseling and expectation management.
