Implication

Retrospective cohort study investigates the link between reduction timing and complications in hip surgery patients, suggesting implications for treatment efficiency.

Key Points

This study aimed to examine the relationship between time to reduction after THA dislocation and post-reduction complications.
Conducted as a retrospective observational cohort study from January 2017 to January 2025 in Denmark.
Included adults aged 18 or older with first-time THA dislocation undergoing closed reduction.
Analyzed post-reduction LOS and complications using linear regression adjusted for confounders.
Increasing time to reduction correlated with significantly longer post-reduction LOS (50.6 hours at 12-18 hours, P < .001).
Median post-reduction LOS was 15.4 hours for reductions within 3 hours, increasing further with delay.
Delays over 24 hours were associated with higher risks of mortality, delirium, and infections.
