How Spinal Deformity Can Affect Hip Replacement Surgery Success Rates

In a study co-authored by Dr. Jonathan Vigdorchik of Hospital for Special Surgery and HipSurgeryNYC.com, it has been found that people with a spinal deformity also requiring a total hip replacement are at greater risk for dislocation or follow-up revision surgery.

This suggests that higher-risk patients may benefit from a more personalized approach to surgery to reduce the risk of poorer outcomes.

This new study led by Dr. Vigdorchik and other orthopaedic surgeons at NYU Langone Medical Center provides a greater understanding of:

  • Exactly how spinal deformity interacts with the pelvis,
  • Potential increased risks with implanting the artificial hip in a “safe zone”

“Surgeons should anticipate potential instability after performing a hip replacement in patients who have existing spinal deformity, and they should adjust their surgical plans accordingly,” says lead study author Aaron J. Buckland, MD, assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery in the Division of Spine Surgery and director of spine research at NYU Langone.

The study was presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) 2017 Annual Meeting in San Diego, California and the findings were also online in the Journal of Arthroplasty.

Hip replacement statistics:

  • More than 310,000 hip replacements are performed in the United States each year.
  • Hip replacement rates have dramatically increased over the past 2 decades in younger adults 45 to 64 years of age (who are active and living longer than ever before).
  • An estimated 2.5 million Americans are currently living with hip replacements.

In a hip replacement, an artificial joint comprised of a ball and socket is implanted to replace the natural socket in the pelvis, enabling movement that is typical of the hip joint.

The So-Called “Safe Zone” For Hip Replacements

For the past 40 years, surgeons have placed the socket, known as the acetabular cup, adjacent to the pelvic bone in a so-called safe zone—a position that is thought to reduce risk of dislocation. However, the new research suggests that placing the acetabular cup in the safe zone may not be enough to prevent dislocation in patients with spinal deformity.

Until now, no studies of the hip–spine relationship have focused on patients with sagittal spinal deformity, says Dr. Buckland. “Our research helps bridge any disconnect between surgeons who regularly treat spinal deformities and those who perform hip joint replacements, fostering more collaboration to improve patient outcomes,” he adds.

How Spinal Deformity Affects Hip Replacements

For the study, researchers retrospectively reviewed 107 patients who met the criteria for sagittal spinal deformity and who had 139 hip replacements collectively. Using software containing detailed measurements of patients who were imaged before and after surgery, researchers analyzed the acetabular cup position, dynamic changes in cup position, and rate of instability in patients who had undergone hip replacements.

They found an 8 percent dislocation rate for hip replacement in patients with some degree of spinal stenosis; 5.8 percent of the same patient cohort required revision surgery due to recurrent dislocation. This compares to a 1 to 2 percent dislocation risk in the typical population, according to Dr. Buckland.

The lumbar spine, or lower back, moves during normal posture changes, such as transitioning from sitting to standing. This creates alterations in “spinopelvic tilt,” which, in turn, changes the functional position of the acetabulum, or hip socket.

Among all study patients, 78 percent had normal placement of their artificial hip while lying down (supine). But that number significantly decreased to 58 percent when patients stood, due to increases in spinopelvic tilt. Among patients with hip replacements that dislocated, 80 percent had safe zone cup placement, 80 percent had spinopelvic tilt, and 60 percent were deemed safe by both parameters.

The findings have led orthopaedic surgeons who perform hip replacements at NYU Langone to collaborate with their spine surgeon colleagues on preoperative planning in an effort to secure optimal outcomes in patients.

“The fact that high rates of dislocation occurred in patients with ‘safe zone’ placement of their artificial hips implies that our understanding of what defines acceptable acetabular positioning for these patients remains questionable. It is imperative that the degree of spinal deformity be a primary factor in preoperative planning of hip replacements.”

– Study co-author Jonathan Vigdorchik, MD, assistant professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at NYU Langone.

The research team plans future projects to examine postural analysis more closely in order to develop patient-specific or pathology-specific safe zones, enhance impingement-free range of motion, and study in more detail the use of a dual-mobility bearing implant in this complex patient population.

  • I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO. At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his Email } dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com WhatsApp } +2349166175418

  • I never use to believe in spell casting until i met Lord Zuma a powerful spell caster who helped me to be a happy person again. i reside in USA. After 4 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids. I felt like my life was about to end and i almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to a Great spell caster called Lord Zuma which i met online on one faithful day when I was browsing through the internet, i came across a lot of testimonies about this particular Great spell caster how he has helped so many people. he has helped people to bring back their Ex lover, some testified that he restores womb, cure cancer and other sickness, and so on. I also came across a testimony, it was about a woman called Sandra, she testified about how his spell made her to be pregnant after so many years of bareness and at the end of her testimony she dropped Lord Zuma's email address. After reading all these, i decided to give it a try and i contacted him and explained my problem to him and he assured me that in less than 48 hours, my husband will call me and beg for forgiveness but i thought it will not work. When he had finished casting the spell, the next day my husband called me and he was begging for forgiveness just as Lord Zuma said. This is not brain washing and after the spell has been cast, i realized that my husband love me like never before and the spell caster opened him up to know how much i love him and how much love we need to share. We are even happier now than before. Lord Zuma is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man.
