Abstract:[Objective] To search the related factors and prediction of claudication after total hip arthroplasty (THA) for developmentaldysplasia of the hip (DDH). [Methods] A total 106 patients who received THA for DDH were enrolled into this study in Affiliated Hospital ofQinghai University from January 2019 to January 2023. According to whether or not lameness happened after THA and Harris score 6months after operation, the patients were divided into lameness group and normal gait group. Univariate comparison and multiple logistic re-gression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of claudication after THA for DDH, furthermore a prediction model based onthe related factors was created and verified. [Results] Of the 106 patients with DDH, lameness happened in 36 patients, accounting for34.0%. Regarding univariate comparison, the limp group proved significantly less than the normal gait group in terms of depth of femoralcomponent placed [(134.7±21.1) mm vs (156.7±23.9) mm, P<0.001], hip rotation center height [(9.6±5.8) mm vs (31.0±4.2) mm, P<0.001],while the former was significantly greater than the latter in terms of femoral calar length [(18.7±3.3) mm vs (15.1±2.1) mm, P<0.001] and thefemoral eccentricity [(36.9±2.5) mm vs (34.8±2.8) mm, P<0.001]. As results of logistic regression, the greater depth of femoral componentplaced (OR=0.259, 95%CI 0.089~0.759) was the protective factor for lameness after THA in DDH, while the larger femoral eccentricity (OR=4.084, 95%CI 1.395~11.947), the more length of femoral calaris retained (OR=3.050, 95%CI 1.042~8.922), and the higher the center of rota-tion of the hip (OR=2.998, 95%CI 1.025~8.772) were the risk factors for claudication after THA in DDH. Based on the factors abovemen-tioned, a nomogram predicting model was created, and verified by ROC analysis, which had sensitivity of 0.791 (95%CI 0.653~0.872), speci-ficity of 0.847 (95%CI 0.752~0.936) and AUC of 0.839 (95%CI 0.791~0.927) for predicting claudication after THA in DDH. [Conclusion]The depth of femoral prosthetic placement, length of preserved femoral calar after surgery, height of hip rotation center and femoral eccentric-ity are the influencing factors for claudication after THA in DDH, while the prediction model based the factors might be helpful to predictclaudication after THA.
