Article Synopsis
- The study investigates hip dynamics during the golf swing in patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA), focusing on aspects like contact forces and muscle activity, which have not been previously reported.
- Ten unilateral THA patients participated in motion capture tests, revealing that golf swings generated a rotation of 20-30° in both the lead and trail hips, with mean hip contact forces approximately 5.1 and 6.6 times their body weight.
- The findings suggest that golf can be played safely after THA, as swings do not impose excessive forces on the hip prostheses, and adjustments to the swing could help reduce hip pain for patients.
[Purpose] To determine patient satisfaction after total hip arthroplasty in a Japanese cohort and to identify factors that significantly influence patient satisfaction. [Participants and Methods] This study included 285 patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. Postoperative satisfaction, Oxford hip score, short form-12 mental component summary score, and University of California Los Angeles activity score were investigated.
