Abstract

This study aims to compare PROM improvements and satisfaction rates between revision (rTHA) and primary total hip arthroplasty (pTHA). 84 rTHAs were propensity-score matched to 168 pTHAs using patient demographics and preoperative PROMs. Multiple regression was used to evaluate differences in PROMs, minimal clinically important difference (MCID) attainment and patient satisfaction. Compared to pTHA patients, rTHA patients had poorer MCID attainment for OHS, WOMAC and SF-36 PCS and lower satisfaction rates at 2-years postoperatively (p < 0.05). Patients undergoing rTHA are likely to have poorer outcomes and should be appropriately counselled to better manage their preoperative expectations. Level II.
