Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis is a common illness in elderly people and hip joint is one of the most common sites of osteoarthritis. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an accepted treatment in these patients, nowadays. The aim of this study was short-time evaluation of THA in patients with hip osteoarthritis.Methods: This clinical trial evaluated 40 patients with hip osteoarthritis undergone total hip arthroplasty in Kashani hospital, Isfaha, Iran. Severity of pain was measured by the visual analogue scale (VAS) and function was assessed by Harris hip scale (HHS) before operation and 6 and 12 months after it.Findings: The mean score of VAS was 6.71 before operation, and 4.62 and 3.38 at 6 and 12 month after it, respectively; the difference was significant (P < 0.0001). The mean of HHS was 47.3, 79.8, 91.2 before operation and 6 and 12 month after it, respectively with a significant difference (P = 0.0110).Conclusion: Our findings showed that total hip arthroplasty, in short-time, decrease pain reduction and improve hip function in patients with hip osteoarthritis.
