This complaint is from a literature source.The following literature cite has been reviewed: garfinkel jh, gladnick bp, pachter cs, cochrane nh, romness dw.Perioperative factors associated with increased length of stay after revision of metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty.J orthop.2019 jan 17;16(2):109-112.Doi: 10.1016/j.Jor.2019.01.003.Pmid: 30723360; pmcid: pmc6352741.Objective and methods: authors investigated patient factors influencing length-of-stay (los) after revision metal-on-metal (mom) total hip arthroplasty (tha).They reviewed 23 hips undergoing revision of a mom tha with minimum 2-year follow-up.Authors performed a retrospective review asking the following research questions: 1) what perioperative factors in patients undergoing revision of metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty affect hospital length of stay after surgery? 2) what is the incidence of major complications (infection, dislocation) and rerevision after mom tha revision surgery? 3) what are the patient reported clinical outcomes after mom tha revision surgery? sixteen hips underwent acetabular component revision for a recalled acetabular implant (asr'", depuy synthes, warsaw, in); four hips underwent modular head-liner exchange to a highly cross-linked polyethylene liner and ceramic head in the setting of a well-fixed, well-positioned acetabular component (pinnacle, depuy synthes, warsaw, in); two hips underwent acetabular component revision for a well-fixed, well-positioned acetabular component in which the modular cocr liner was cold-welded to the implant and could not be dislodged (pinnacle, depuy synthes, warsaw, in); and one hip was a previous hip resurfacing (competitor system) in which the acetabular component was revised and a primary femoral stem was placed.A multiple linear regression was calculated to predict los using multiple variables.Results: there were no cases of infection observed.There was one dislocation event in a patient who had undergone a cup revision and was noted to have an abductor tear at that time of surgery; this was treated with closed reduction with no further instability events.One patient was re-revisided during the study period; this patient had undergone cup revision that was subsequently re-revised due to aseptic loosening of the acetabular component, at 8 months post-operatively.Average length of stay (los) was 2.1 days.Multiple linear regression analysis identified a significant correlation between presence of an abductor injury, patient age , and pre-revision femoral head size.Conclusion: patients with abductor injury, larger femoral heads, and younger age are at risk for longer los.
