Obese patients may have more soft tissue impingement following primary total hip arthroplasty

Abstract: Purpose Several studies have reported a risk of dislocation in obese patients after total hip arthroplasty. In this study, we evaluated the interaction between obesity and dislocation by kinematic analysis using a navigation system. Methods The intraoperative range of motion (ROM) and postoperative impingement-free ROM were measured in 38 patients, and we compared the impingement-free ROM in obese and non obese patients. Results The postoperatively simulated ROM was similar in the obese and non obese groups. T… Show more

“…This risk also has been demonstrated by other investigators [35]. Possible explanations for this finding include: extraarticular fatty tissue acting as a fulcrum [15] for dislocation and/or greater risk of suboptimal implant position because of technical difficulties associated with the procedure in patients with high BMI. However, it is not only the amount of weight that plays a role.…”

“…When obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m 2 in adults, obesity is recognized as an independent risk factor for postoperative hip dislocation in several studies [2,6,8,15,18,22,28,35]. However, in these patients with obesity, it is not known whether the risk is only in the early postoperative period or if the risk persists several years after surgery.…”

“…[1,2] While implant impingement [3][4][5] and bony impingement [6][7][8] have been widely investigated, reports of soft-tissue impingement are rare. [9,10] Capsule thickening is sometimes observed in various conditions, such as developmental dysplasia of the hip, [11] osteoarthritis, synovitis, [12] previous surgical procedures and femoro-acetabular impingement. [13] Yamamura et al showed that, in their in vivo open MRI study, femoro-acetabular impingement as well as soft-tissue impingement occurred during hip flexion with internal rotation in normal subjects.…”

“…As part of a prospective study intended to help determine the accuracy of THA components that have been inserted with the use of a navigation system (results reported separately) [6][7][8], 144 consecutive primary THAs were performed in 144 patients using a CT-based fluoroscopic matched navigation system (VectorVision HIP 3.5; BrainLAB, Feldkirchen, Germany), and implanted Pinnacle acetabular cups (DePuy, Warsaw, IN) in all patients. The patients were 121 women and 23 men with a mean age of 65.2 years (range, 30-87 years) at operation.…”
