Background:
No meta-analysis exists elucidate the impact of prior hip arthroscopy on the outcomes of subsequent hip arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the current evidence in the literature to ascertain if prior hip arthroscopy leads to inferior outcomes after hip arthroplasty.
Methods:
PUBMED, Scopus, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched on May 20, 2019. Only English publications were included. The primary outcomes were postoperative complication, revision, and reoperation. Secondary outcomes included Harris Hip Score (HHS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), operative time, and estimated blood loss.
Results:
Eleven studies with a total of 1227 patients were included. The pooled data revealed that patients with prior hip arthroscopy were associated with higher risks for any postoperative complication (P < .00001), dislocation (P = .03), revision (P = .03), and reoperation (P = .02) following subsequent hip arthroplasty. However, there were no significant differences in infection rate (P = .22), HHS (P = .09), WOMAC (P = .19), operative time (P = .52), and estimated blood loss (P = .17) between the groups.
Conclusions:
Patients with prior hip arthroscopy are at increased risks for any postoperative complication, dislocation, revision, and reoperation following subsequent hip arthroplasty. However, prior hip arthroscopy does not appear to have an impact on the functional outcomes and intraoperative outcomes.
