The influence of identifiable pre-operative factors on the outcome
of eccentric rotational acetabular osteotomy (ERAO) is unknown.
We aimed to determine the factors that might influence the outcome,
in order to develop a scoring system for predicting the prognosis
for patients undergoing this procedure. We reviewed 700 consecutive ERAOs in 54 men and 646 women with
symptomatic acetabular dysplasia or early onset osteoarthritis (OA)
of the hip, which were undertaken between September 1989 and March
2013. The patients’ pre-operative background, clinical and radiological
findings were examined retrospectively. Multivariate Cox regression
analysis was performed using the time from the day of surgery to
a conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) as an endpoint. A risk
score was calculated to predict the prognosis for conversion to
THA, and its predictive capacity was investigated.Aims
Patients and Methods
Frailty has been gathering attention as a factor to predict surgical outcomes. However, the association of frailty with postoperative complications remains controversial in spinal metastases surgery. We therefore designed a prospective study to elucidate risk factors for postoperative complications with a focus on frailty. We prospectively analyzed 241 patients with spinal metastasis who underwent palliative surgery from June 2015 to December 2021. Postoperative complications were assessed by the Clavien-Dindo classification; scores of ≥ Grade II were defined as complications. Data were collected regarding demographics (age, sex, BMI, and primary cancer) and preoperative clinical factors (new Katagiri score, Frankel grade, performance status, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, spinal instability neoplastic score, modified Frailty Index-11 (mFI), diabetes, and serum albumin levels). Univariate and multivariate analyses were developed to identify risk factors for postoperative complications (p < 0.05).Aims
