Abstract
Background Hip resurfacing (HR) is an alternative to conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) in very active, young male patients. However, there is no study in the literature that has proven its benefits for high-impact sport over standard primary THA. The aim of the current study was to investigate the return to sport and function level of male patients after THA vs. HR. Materials and methods This prospective study is based on a telephone questionnaire for general health and sports activities. 40 HRs were matched with 40 THAs based on preoperative University of California Arthroplasty Score (UCLA), BMI, age at time of surgery and age at follow-up. The mean follow-up period was 56 months (range 24–87 months). Results HR patients showed a significantly higher High-activity arthroplasty score (HAAS) (14.9 vs. 12.9, p < 0.001) and Lower extremity activity scale (LEAS) (15.9 vs. 14.1, p < 0.001) and reached significantly higher values in the Hip cycle score (HCS) (44.7 vs. 35.7 p = 0.037) and Impact score (IS) (40.9 vs. 29.6, p < 0.002) than THA patients. No significant differences were found in the HOOS function section (91.4 vs. 90.3, p = 0.803) and the Pain numeric rating scale (NRS)-11 (0.6 vs. 0.9 p = 0.169). Patients with HR had a slightly higher Harris hip score (HHS) (97.8 vs. 95.6, p = 0.015) Conclusion The current study suggests that young male patients are able to engage in higher activity levels after HR compared to standard THA.Keywords
