Results

This retrospective observational study investigated preoperative factors associated with postoperative hip pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA) in 92 patients. Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) was identified as a significant factor for postoperative pain at rest, while Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) and preoperative walking speed (WS) were significant factors for pain during gait. The findings suggest that different preoperative factors are involved in pain at rest and during movement.

Baseline Characteristics

The participants were patients with hip osteoarthritis who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) at Kurume University Hospital between December 2018 and May 2020. The median age was 67 years (IQR: 60-72), with 14 males and 78 females. The median BMI was 23.6 kg/m2. All surgeries were performed using the posterior approach.

Participant flow

A total of 146 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) between December 2018 and May 2020 were initially enrolled. Patients with inflammatory arthritis, osteonecrosis, fracture, malignancy, infection, bilateral THA, cognitive or neurological disorders interfering with evaluation, and those without postoperative pain data were excluded. Finally, 92 patients were included in the analysis.

Adverse events

This was a retrospective observational study, and no adverse events related to the study occurred.

Outcome measures

The primary outcome was hip pain at 4 and 8 weeks postoperatively, assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) during rest and walking.
Secondary outcomes included associations with preoperative psychological factors (Pain Catastrophizing Scale [PCS], Central Sensitization Inventory [CSI], Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia [TSK]), pain sensitivity (pressure pain threshold, PPT), preoperative VAS, and gait speed (10-meter walk test).
PPT was assessed at seven sites: the fingernail of the dominant index finger, the second metacarpal bone, the midpoint between the superior angle of the scapula and the spine, the midpoint between the spine and the Jacoby line, the triceps surae on the surgical side, the second dorsal interosseous muscle, and the toenail of the great toe.

Other

Other related information

This study is a retrospective observational study involving patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) at our institution. Patients with available VAS (Visual Analog Scale) scores for resting and walking pain at one week postoperatively will be included.
Preoperative assessments include pain sensitivity indicators (Quantitative Sensory Testing: QST, Conditioned Pain Modulation: CPM) and psychological factors (Pain Catastrophizing Scale: PCS, Central Sensitization Inventory: CSI).
Data will be retrospectively collected from electronic medical records and assessment sheets. The relationship between these preoperative factors and postoperative pain will be analyzed using multivariate statistical methods.
