  • Analysis of kinematic changes of hip joint after total hip arthroplasty

    Objective To analyze the kinematic changes of the hip joint after total hip arthroplasty (THA) through three-dimensional gait analysis. Methods Patients with hip joint diseases admitted between October 2022 and June 2023 were selected as the subjects. The patients who met the selective criteria were finally included in the THA group. The healthy volunteers matched with the THA group in the same age were included as the control group. Baseline data including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and laterality were compared between the two groups. The Harris hip score (HHS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score were recorded preoperatively and at last follow-up in the THA group. Three-dimensional motion capture system was utilized to collect spatiotemporal parameters and kinematic data during walking, including stride length, cadence, and maximum/minimum values, range of motion (ROM) in hip joint abduction/adduction, external/internal rotation, and flexion/extension, as well as gait scores. Differences between the two groups were analyzed. Additionally, the correlation between gait scores and postoperative HHS and WOMAC scores were analyzed in the THA group. Finally, the kinematic data of each degree of freedom (DOF) were fitted into a gait diagram, and the dynamic changes of the 3-DOF of the hip joint during the gait cycle were quantitatively analyzed. ResultsThere was no significant difference in gender, age, laterality, and BMI between the two groups (n=20, P>0.05). The mean follow-up time in the THA group was 9.9 months (range, 6-12 months). The HHS and WOMAC scores at last follow-up in the THA group showed significant improvement when compared with preoperative scores (P<0.05). Gait scores were positively correlated with postoperative HHS score (r=0.585, P=0.007) and negatively correlated with WOMAC score (r=–0.619, P=0.004). There was no significant difference in stride length and cadence between the THA and control groups (P>0.05), but gait score was significantly lower in the THA group than in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in maximum and minimum values of flexion/extension, external/internal rotation, and abduction/adduction between the two groups (P>0.05); however, ROM in the THA group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). There were significant differences between the two groups of flexion/extension in multiple phases of the gait cycle (P<0.05). ConclusionEarly post-THA hip joint kinematics exhibit relative adduction, external rotation, and flexion during the gait cycle compared to normal individuals, with incomplete recovery of kinematic parameters in three degrees of freedom. Significant differences in flexion are observed at multiple phases of the gait cycle compared to normal individuals.
