Direct anterior total hip arthroplasty after hip arthroscopy: A retrospective review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Limited studies have investigated outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) after ipsilateral hip arthroscopy, with mixed conclusions. There is need to provide clarity on potential risks/complications associated with this sequence of operations. Methods: This is a retrospective single surgeon cohort study, evaluating patients from 01/01/2012-01/01/2020 undergoing direct anterior THA for osteoarthritis, with minimum 90-day follow-up. There were two groups: previous hip arthroscopy plus THA (THA+) and isolated THA (control) without previous hip arthroscopy. All THA + patients had undergone one previous hip arthroscopy prior to THA. Quantitative variables were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney-U test or a two-tailed unpaired Results: Seventy-one patients were included, 38 patients in the THA + group, and 33 patients in the control group. Surgery duration was longer in the THA + group (74 min THA + [SD = 9.5], 60 min control [SD = 11.3], p < 0.0001). The only secondary outcome with significance was average estimated blood loss (400 mL THA+, 275 mL control, p = 0.009). Only one THA + patient required postoperative transfusion (p = 1.0). There were no postoperative deep infections requiring debridement, intra-operative fractures requiring fixation, or postoperative dislocations in either group. The THA group had one post-operative fracture requiring surgery. The THA + group was younger (average) than the control group (52 THA + [SD = 9.9], 58.4 control [SD = 8.8], p = 0.0062). Conclusion: This study highlights increased operative time and estimated blood loss after previous ipsilateral hip arthroscopy. Surgeons should recognize implications on time management, and assist surgeons when deciding to perform a THA at a surgery center vs hospital. These results contribute to a growing body of literature indicating no increase in major complication rate of THA after ipsilateral hip arthroscopy.
