Concomitant spine and hip disease in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA)
presents a management challenge. Degenerative lumbar spine conditions are known to …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a systemic and inevitable disease of aging that can affect the hip and
spine concurrently, producing substantial pain and disability. 1–11 The degenerative …

Background The coexistence of degenerative hip disease and spinal pathology is not
uncommon with the number of surgical treatments performed for each condition increasing …

Background Degenerative hip disorders often coexist with degenerative changes of the
lumbar spine. Limited data on this patient population suggest inferior functional …

Background Hip and spine pathology can alter the biomechanics of spino-pelvic mobility.
Lumbar spine fusions can reduce the mobility of the lumbar spine and therefore result in …

Background The biomechanical relationship between the lumbar spine and the hip is well-
documented. It follows that fusing the lumbar spine would have implications on the …

Background Spines with ankylosis or with a history of lumbosacral fusions have been
collectively classified as rigid and unbalanced, and associated with an increased rate of …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Despite the common prevalence of lumbar spine and
degenerative hip disorders, there are few descriptions of patients with coexisting hip …

Introduction: This matched cohort study aims to determine whether the presence of a spinal
arthrodesis (SA) compromises outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and whether the …

Background Patients who have spinal stiffness and deformity are at the highest risk for
dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Previous reports of this cohort are limited to …
