Perioperative complications and causes of 30- and 90-day readmission after direct anterior approach primary total hip arthroplasty.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Methods
Three hundred and two patients (335 hips) underwent a DAA-THA for primary osteoarthritis.Results
The main reasons for 30 and 90-day readmission were wound related problems, dislocation (rate: 0.9%) and deep infection. The readmission rates at 30 and 90 days were 1.8% and 2.7%, respectively. Age over 60 years and morbidly obese patients were at risk for complications.Conclusion
The DAA-THA was associated with low readmission rates. Obesity should be adressed preoperatively.
